6. The Lovers
The sixth card of the major arcana is “The Lovers,” the major Arcana, represents important major life influences and decisions. This card was once known as the “Love” card which more accurately describes the meaning of this card. So really, it’s about one person being “in love” with someone or something rather than a pair of lovers. This widens the meaning of the card from romantic to anything you can think of in your life that you genuinely love. Below are eight interpretations of this card, along with two reversed card meanings, and finally the correspondences to the “The Lovers”. The following page will explain what The Lovers Tarot card could mean when being read! There are many interpretations for each of the tarot cards, and I try my best to include every possible meaning. That is so you can come to the conclusion of it’s true meaning pertaining to your life or your situation on your own. Really think about the question, when looking for the meaning of cards in a tarot spread. Enjoy!

If you are single this card can very well mean that love is on it’s way, especially if the question was centered around love or relationships.

The Lover’s card also is connected to the zodiac sign Gemini (the twins). Both of these connections being centered around two sources being in good balance, fairness, harmony, and familiarity. It can represent the beautiful balance that you have in a relationship or the feeling of being at peace. Something in your life will be in balance and in harmony.
3. Moral Crossroads- The Lovers card is very much connected with fate and Divine power. You may find yourself in a situation where your morals are being tested and you may feel as if you are at a crossroads. You may need to reevaluate your morals and standards, because they are being challenged. You are going to be making a choice, and there is a correct path and an incorrect path even if it may not seem obvious in your situation. Think about your decisions and the consequences for every challenge you encounter, even if it seems insignificant.
4. Strong Attraction The lovers card could simply mean that are feeling a deep attraction for something or someone in your life. This card can mean that you have found a hobby, a job, a best friend, a new boyfriend, that you are genuinely subconsciously attracted to. A lot of the time this can point to a strong psychic attraction to a person, situation, decision, or physical items.
5. Options, Decisions, & Choices The Lovers also represent choices on a grand scale, life changing choices, or decisions that could change your life. The Lovers card warns that you select your choices with care as the outcome is very important and will affect your future. These choices must be made in order to spiritually grow. At least one of the decisions will lead to a happy and successful future. Make sure to think hard about this choice and make the right decision.

You may be realizing that your values are different from the person you are feeling this towards, this suggests that this may be a in resolvable difference ending the relationship.

‘The Lovers’ and The Fool’s Journey
(The fool’s journey is a story made from the major arcana cards in a tarot deck)After leaving the heirophant he knows what his purpose is! He has a goal and almost nothing could stop him. He had planned and perfected his future on this journey! He will not stop until he is successful and achieved what he imagined! Once he reaches the crossroads ahead, he will turn left and continue on his way. But out of curiosity he peaks over on to the right path, and then sees her, the woman that he knows will change his life. She was not like any of the other girls that the fool had met, she was the love of his life he could feel it in his chest.
He then could not remember the strict goals or achievements he had planned for himself, he had decided to take a different turn, and head on a new journey with his other half. Even though the road he chose would possibly be more difficult and less planned, he was at peace knowing that it would be with her.
