The Lovers Tarot Card

The Lovers tarot card shows a pair of naked humans, a man and a woman. The woman stands with her palms & face looking upward to the sky. She stands in front of an apple tree which has a bright green snake coiled around it. The man stands also with his palms turned upward but he stares off to the side. He stands in front of a tree covered in blossoms. Above them, floating in the sky on a gray cloud, is a large angel draped in purple robes and with large red wings spread open. Above the angel's head the sun shines powerfully, taking up the entire top of the card.

The Lovers Tarot Card Meanings In A Reading

Love and Relationships- If you’re single, the answer is yes, you will find someone. If you’re in a new relationship your commitment will become much more serious. You’ll be in it for the long haul. And if you're in a committed relationship be ready for the connection between you two to grow deeper and more powerful. In readings about family or friends this card shows a reunion or the opportunity to come together. Every relationship will get a little more love when this card is in your spread.

Money and Career- This is the connection card when business is involved. You’ll make some great deals because you and like-minded partners will be drawn together. Your powers, when combined, will encourage great outcomes and the luckiest part of all is you'll both be seeing eye-to-eye on business matters. If you're in a regular job you'll see more harmony among members while working on a team.

Health and Wellness- Being around others will leave  you feeling refreshed rather than exhausted. If your mental state is not where you want it to be find some like-minded people and discuss it. How will you know who is like-minded? They'll seemingly "magically" cross your path. This is a burden which will be lighter once you share it. With regards to your overall health, you’ll benefit from a dose of serotonin, or happiness. Tell someone you love them and watch it come right back two-fold. Pure happiness when that happens!

Spirituality- You may have found a twin flame or a soulmate. These are people who we are meant to learn lessons with as we go through life together. They are our teammates. Some are romantic, some are not, but they are all valid and important relationships. While they are not the easiest connections to have, often because the emotions that run through them are so strong,  they are the most rewarding.

The Reversed Lovers Tarot Card From The Rider-Waite Tarot Deck.

The Lovers Tarot Card Meanings Reversed- Disharmony, a break up, growing apart, loving yourself first, and leaving people behind.

Reversed, The Lovers tarot card shows disconnection. You may need to move away from toxic people. You may be trying to be a peacemaker between feuding friends. Someone might have bad intentions when they approach you romantically. Most importantly, when you draw this card reversed, your love should be directed back to yourself.

Love and Relationships- Either you, or your partner, are being selfish. Relationships need to be evaluated and the dead weight cut off in order for new growth to occur. Don’t let anyone use love as a reason to control you. If you are single you shouldn’t rush into a relationship. Remember to wait before accepting any invitation to partner up because this reversed card is warning there are some red flags waving that you need to be aware of, even if the warning is just to take it slow and respect your potential partner's boundaries. Ignoring them will certainly lead to the relationship's failure.

Money and Career- Someone is taking advantage of your kindness. A common theme is you're in a bad working relationship and need to find a resolution before you wind up in a financial bind. Alternatively, your finances could take a hit because you’re being too generous and whomever you're helping will never tell you it's enough. Make sure to protect your own interests before you give too much. After all, if your pocketbook is empty how can you give to someone else? Take care of your money matters before taking care of someone else's.

Health and Wellness- Your mental wellness is vulnerable to taking a hit because you’re too dependent on another person. Essentially, your self-worth is too tied up in what someone else thinks of you. Love yourself first. Be the cause of your own happiness. In medical matters, make sure you know all the possibilities and risks before moving forward with your treatment choice. Have your affairs in order to avoid any confusion later on.

Spirituality- Love yourself. That’s the only love you ever need to really feel loved and valuable. Remember to put yourself on the same pedestal you put others on. Give priority to your mental, emotional, and spiritual health. In order to know how to give love and support to others you need to first give those same gifts to yourself. This will be a goal for you to work on, sometimes for many years- to love yourself first and unconditionally.
