Meaning

The primary meaning within the Lovers is harmony, attractiveness, and perfection in a relationship. But, like love, this card has a complex nature.

Indicates choices, often conflicting, important, and/or difficult ones. This is bad, in that the choices it portends are generally mutually exclusive, paths to two very different futures, but also good, in that it also confirms that at least one of those paths will take you to a good place. It tells a story of difficult choices, likely painful, but that the correct decision and a positive outcome are within your grasp. Consider the choice carefully, but don’t fear it. There are real challenges posed by romantic relationships. There exists the choice of personal growth through relationship, instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort. You need to make a choice, a compromise, or a sacrifice for the other. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. Carefully consider your long-term interests. There is no judgment on what you choose to keep from the array of possibilities before you. Just watch out for choices that will produce dissatisfaction and discontent. Be willing to make some compromises, then stick with the commitments you finally make. Trust your intuition along with your rational intellect, and once you make your choice, carry it out with conviction. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.
