The Lovers card is represented by the number 6 and is ruled by Gemini. In Numerology the number 6 is linked to our sense of responsibility and harmony.
The Lovers card is a reference to partnership and the union of opposing forces.
Two figures stand in a garden, reminiscent of the Garden of Eden. The male, Adam, (the conscious mind), looks to the female, Eve (the sub-conscious mind). She is gazing up at the angel Raphael, (the super-conscious). He reminds them of their union with the Divine and is blessing them with balance and harmony.
Behind Eve is the Tree of Knowledge with a serpent entwined around it, representing the kundalini or life force. The tree of flames behind Adam symbolises the twelve signs of the zodiac, the symbols of time and eternity.
Another interpretation is: the tree and the snake represent the temptation of straying from the Divine. The Volcano in the background represents the passion that can erupt when the couple give in to their temptation.
In a tarot reading The Lovers Card can be complex. It references love, harmony and relationships and what they mean to you. It can also be about the choices and decisions you have to make – look at all options and make sure you are not just taking the easiest path. It can also be about developing your own personal belief system.
