The Lovers
Card VI
Ruled By Gemini
This card
obviously refers to strong emotions, a choice of the heart
that cannot be made by logic alone. In older packs this
card often showed a young man who had to make a decision
between two women while Cupid hovered above, aiming his
dart.
Later versions of the card replaced Cupid with the fiery
archangel St. Michael, and the group below by figures of
Adam and Eve complete with the Trees of Knowledge and of
Life. However, hidden in one of them is the serpent of
temptation.
The card represents the power of the human heart, power of
attraction and a need to listen to one's desire and a deep
emotional nature.
Meaning: A dececive point has been reached. An important
choice must be made with reference to true desires rather
than duty. A dramatic change of attitude will lead to
happier times. Love, reconciliation and physical
pleasures. A happy relationship in personal life or in
business.
Reversed Meaning: An unhappy love affair, a failure to
make up one's mind, unwelcome separation and emotional
loss.
