Your initial reaction will likely be to associate this card as a symbol of love but, as love is not the only thing that it represents, it doesn't have a single nature. It is not just that love come in various forms, but Lovers may indicate important or difficult choices ahead in your daily life. This is bad, in that the choices that it implies tend to be mutually exclusive options that lead to two completely divergent futures, but beneficial, since it confirms that at least one of them will take you to a better place. If you see this in the spreads, you should take a look at it with care, but not fear it. It tells a story of tough choices that are likely to be painful, but that the right decision and positive outcome are within your reach. The Lovers card shows naked men and women standing across from each other. The woman appears under an apple tree and a snake, evoking the Garden of Eden. The man stands before an oak tree that has twelve trefoil flames, which symbolize the twelve zodiac signs and the passion and fire that determines his destiny. Over the figures is the angel of the air, Raphael, who looks down upon the pair as the pair are blessed by him. The element of air is closely associated with communication, and is the foundation of healthy relationships. The background depicts mountains -- a phallic symbol -- and a riverthat symbolizes femininity. The Lovers card symbolizes the unification of two opposing forces, as well as the momentary bliss of a moment before it is destroyed. If you draw this card it's a sign that you are at a crossroads in your life: the choices you're about to take could alter the course of your existence. The Lover can also signify that you're an individual who takes decisions with a heart. This card is an empathetic and sensual individual who is easily influenced by impulsive decisions and easily succumbs to the lure. The Lovers symbolize harmony, attraction, and the perfect relationship. Your partner and you are soulmates. Your relationship is built on a deep love and trust, giving you the power to face challenges together and help each other. The Lovers could also indicate that a sexual relationship can grow into something more, because there is a base of mutual attraction. This love can grow into a real intimacy, so long as you are aware of the importance of open communication. An important career decision often occurs on the Lovers card. Because it is an element of Major Arcana, your choice must not be taken lightly, as it will be a major decision with far-reaching consequences. Make sure you follow your heart and passion. This will lead to happiness and success in the longer term. Many times, the right option is the one that at first seems more difficult. The Lovers could also be a sign that a business partnership will be successful, and that you and your partner are committed to the long haul. The Lovers represent a sense of mutual affection and not just between two people, but between you and money. If you've been struggling in cash lately, help is on its way, but only if you seek help and explain your problems to somebody else. Now is also a good time to take the risk of financial investment, like starting your own business or soliciting a loan or returning to the school you attended.
