Companions and lovers

The Lovers represent relationships and choices. Its appearance in spread indicates some decision about an existing relationship, a temptation of the heart, or a choice of possible partners. Often an aspect of the persons life will have to be sacrificed or changed; a bachelor(ette)'s lifestyle may be sacrificed and a relationship gained (or vice versa), or one potential partner may be chosen while another is turned down. Whatever the choice, don't make it lightly, as the ramifications will be lasting. The main meaning within the Lovers is harmony, attractiveness, and perfection in a relationship. The trust and the unity that the lovers have gives each of them confidence and strength, empowering the other. The bond that they have created is very strong, and it can indicate that the two are joined in marriage, or other close intimate relationships. Another meaning behind the lovers card is the concept of choice - a choice between things that are opposing and mutually exclusive. This could be a dilemma that you need to think about carefully and make the best decision for your situation.

When I think of The Lovers I think of the rush of a new relationship and the feelings of excitement at every choice we make. Best outfit, will they like my favorite movie, will we go all the way tonight, and so many other endorphin flooding thoughts. Remember to think with your brains and not your loins. Think long and clearly about your choices and relationships in the near future.
