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. I'm very happy also to be part of your Understanding tarot group where we can learn from each other and learn all about this and connect even more to the tarot.
Your book has transformed the way I feel about tarot. For so many years, I've tried to learn it and understand what each card means but now I see the cards differently, I notice things I never have seen before, your book has literally opened my eyes in a way I didn't know was possible. I have such a respect for the cards now and for the artwork of Pamela Colman Smith and the symbolism that she and Arthur Waite have brought to every card, that my desire to learn more about them grows each day.
Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and insights with so many of us. Blessings to you.

I would highly recommend. Thank you soooo much Pam for your warm, insightful, and clearly communicated reading. You provided clear detail into what each card could be interpreted with regards to my question (questions;). So grateful.

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.
