Lovers

Number 6, The Lovers

The Lovers card is represented by two Pixies mirroring one another. They're reaching for each other, about to engage in a kiss. They represent harmony and balance. One Pixie has a ribbon around them that symbolizes flow. The other Pixie is entangled in snakes, which symbolize temptation and/or passion.
This card's main message is one of love and harmony in a relationship. They trust each other and the unity they have gives them strength. Their bond is strong and they each empower and encourage the other to be the best version of themselves.
The Lovers also represent choice. This card can sometimes suggest a decision needing to be made about an existing relationship, a temptation of the heart, or a choice on a potential love interest. Whatever it is, this choice should not be made lightly, as the consequences are ever lasting.

Card in Reverse:

The Lovers in reverse can tell us that you may currently be experiencing a number of conflicts right now, be they inside you or outside. The discord you are feeling could be putting pressure on your current relationships. Are you punishing yourself for anything? Take some time for yourself to reflect and think on what it is you feel you need to sort out and/or let go of. Also look inside yourself and ask what your personal values are, and are the choices you're making aligning with your beliefs?
This card can also represent a break in communication. The unity you once had with your partner could be disrupted, creating an imbalance. What do you feel could improve?
