Known also as the Children of the Voice and Oracle of the Mighty Gods and 
ruled by Gemini, The Lovers represents choices, love and relationship as a path to consciousness. When we look at the card of The Lovers, we see a union of masculine and feminine energy, the meeting of minds and the completion of a cycle of separation. It is said that we all seek a soulmate in life, someone who completes us. On a deeper level even than this, it is our desire to return to a state of wholeness that we all believe is possible but without the map to achieve this goal we often feel lost. The interesting thing about The Lovers card, is that it highlights our ability to learn so much about ourselves by what we feel is missing in our own personality and psyche. It is said that what we most yearn for, what we find irresistible in the "Other" is what we don't recognise in our own personality and yet what we deeply need in order to feel complete, at peace, and worthy of love. But these concerns are Mysteries, and not for everyone to contemplate or even attempt to solve. Most people will experience this card as an impulsive attraction towards someone, and often will result in creating romance, separation and resulting dramas when, inevitably, there is trouble. It can also represent an important relationship choice, one that seems rather tricky and likely to trip one up. If this is your experience, it is only presented to you now to help you differentiate what is really important to you on a soul level. You may take it on face value, but it is much more useful to see this as a pointer to what resources and values you need to find within yourself. It is a good time to examine your current relationships, and discover what is working and not working with them, what thrills you and what irritates you most about them - this is a mirror to what exists within you. Accept the good and the bad as your own and you have the potential to transcend them all. Image "The Lovers" © aseamlessbonds.deviantart.com
