Lovers Tarot Card Meanings
I love the vibrancy of the Lovers card and the beauty of the image. It is warm and happy. It gives a sense of love and hope. The sun is shining down and the heavens have opened and show an angel with its arms raised and open seeming to bless the couple that stands below. The couple is naked, and their nakedness, rather than seeming vulgar or sexual seems to convey a sense of innocence. If we look behind the woman on the left, we see an apple tree with a serpent coiled around it. Is this Adam and Eve before the fall? So while the angel above seems to be blessing this couple who stand before each other, with the serpent offering them knowledge, this card is about unions but also about choices.
The over-riding message I get from this card is about love. The image clearly depicts a couple, and the Lovers can refer to romantic love, but I think the other imagery hints at so much more. After all, think about all the things that a person can love; a partner, yes, family members, but we can also be drawn to a path in life that we love. We may love a job, a cause, or even a challenge. So, I think this card is showing that even when we come across something that we love, it is our choice as to whether we opt for that which we love or not. The choice seems to be simple, but nonetheless, it is ours to make.
