6 - The Lovers

The Fool travels to The Lovers, where he encounters sexual love, intimate relationships, and major decisions. He finds that what he is attracted to in life often calls for a major decision to be made. Choices arrive in our lives that will direct the future, so he knows he must think carefully. The heart calls us into action, and once a path has been chosen, there may be no turning back. He faces making the right choice in either love or life.

We find that decisions, choices, and options are at play when we find The Lovers. While we may be confronted with issues of love, intimacy, and issues related to an intimate relationship, at its core, we are confronted with options in which the former may not be an issue or in which the two may be combined. With the issue of relationships, it can simply be shown that a relationship in your life is a focus, or should be.

If a relationship is front and centre in your mind, we can feel the need to deal with an issue, which may be best dealt with. When we are single, it can show that love is on our minds and that love is in the air or developing, forming in the energy around us.

We can feel confusion with this card, as with any that require a choice. Which way, this or that? We can feel tempted, pulled in by an issue, or desire for something that would mean a major choice if we reached for it, and so we need to listen to the heart yet take the mind with us as decisions need to be made carefully.

At this time, discretion should be used; now is not the time to rush in where angels fear to tread simply because the heart desires something or someone. A crossroads appears, and we need to calm what is pushing us and be careful with such challenges at a time when we may be fuelled by passion and feel inspired.

If you make a bad decision, it can have a hefty impact on our lives, so be careful as it may be a difficult one to rectify.

Hi Pam. Many thanks for this. It really resonates with me. Blessings, Cath x

Cath

I highly recommend Pam for her intuitive readings. She has wonderful insight and has been correct in the past regarding situations I have brought to her for guidance. She gives very detailed explanations of what she she sees in the cards. I appreciate you sharing your energy with me and will be back for advice again.

Hi Pam.

I wanted to tell you that I took what you said to heart. I have reread this from time to time to get my bearings every time I start to fall back into old paradigms. And indeed each time I do, I notice something new.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your personal story too and your approach and compassionate non-judgment.

Thank you with all my Heart!
Ruth :)

PS: I’m also a professional Tarot reader and it delights me to find you as a professional because now I can say here, right here, is a good reader.

My book arrived this week. Yes!
The Universal Waite Tarot deck shows Pamela Coleman Smith’s artwork recoloured by Mary Hanson Roberts. The line-art is clean with non-blurry lines and beautifully coloured, of course.

I am house-sitting for my son for two weeks so decided to also buy the ebook from Amazon Kindle. I’ll leave the hardcopy at home so it doesn’t weigh-down my suitcase. It’s a 427 page book, so very thick!
I’ve only read the introduction and The Fool so far. What I like so far, is the way the Fool’s meaning is described in detail, referring to colour, symbols, and zodiac and astrological associations. All important details for me to remember and learn. There is a lot to learn, to enjoy and to gradually remember. I say gradually, as it’s not about memorising but savouring the details. This is not a book with keywords, although there is a “In a nutshell” summation at the end of each long description for the card. The long description (often three pages in length) is followed by two shorter ones (less than one page long) for upright and reversed meanings. In these shorter sections, keywords are in bold-type. It’s far easier to remember them when they’re given in a story-like context rather than as a separate list to memorise.

I can see myself using this book as my primary resource for years!
This began as sharing a photo and ended up as a short review for those who have not yet bought Pam’s book.

My advice is to not hesitate.
