The Tarot Lovers Traditional Meanings

You seem in a pickle over deciding between two paths of equal worth. You appear to have the desire and opportunity to share your life with another. However, to feel this way, being in love with a person or even the idea takes complete commitment.

If you are unsure about the path to take regarding your feelings, perhaps you are being tested to determine your sincerity. Before you make any crucial decisions that may affect the rest of your life, have an in-depth conversation with your significant other to make sure all is mutual. Communication is the key to resolving issues and preventing further doubt or conflict.

Do you find trust in your relationship? As much as romance excites the soul, friendship is the ultimate requirement of a stable relationship that can feed the heart. Without friendship, one is left in a tangled mess of conflict and the inevitable feeling of isolation that follows strife. I can only advise you to follow your heart when making your final decision.

The Tarot Lovers' Biblical Meanings

The Tarot Lovers represent Adam and Eve's creation and subsequent fall from grace and exile from the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were to rely directly on God's word for their knowledge of good and evil. However, God gave Adam and Eve (Adam's second wife) free will to make their own choices. They chose to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge (of good and evil), which disrupted the relationships between humans and God, between male and female, and between humans and the natural world. Still, God promised to return to the earth as a human to heal these breakages through grace. The Lovers card may also represent the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, whom Jesus treasured dearly.
