Why is the Lovers card important?

Your first instinct will most likely be to think of this card as representing love, but, much as love however, it doesn't have a straightforward nature. It is not just that love come in different forms, but Lovers may indicate important or difficult choices ahead in your daily life. This is bad in that the choices it suggests tend to be mutually exclusive pathways to two different futures, but also good, in that it is a sign that at the very least one of these paths will lead you to a good position. If you spot this in the spreads, be aware of it and do not be afraid. It tells a story of tough choices that are likely to be difficult, but the correct decision and a positive outcome is within your reach. The Lovers card features a naked man and woman standing across from each other. The woman is seated under an apple tree with an animal, symbolizing The Garden of Eden. The man stands in front of an oak tree that has twelve trefoil flames, which symbolize the twelve signs of the zodiac and the fiery passion that shapes his future. Over the figures is the angel of the air, Raphael, who looks at the couple as he blesses them. The element of air is closely associated with communication, and is an essential element in healthy relationships. The background depicts the mountain, which is a phallic symbol -- as well as a river, which represents femininity. The Lovers card depicts the union of two opposing forces and also the fleeting pleasure of just a few seconds before it's altered. If you happen to draw this card it's a signal that you are at a crucial crossroads; the decisions you are soon to make may change the course of your existence. The Lover can also signify that you are someone who makes choices from the heart. This card represents someone who is passionate and sexually attractive who is susceptible to making rash decisions and easily fall prey to attraction. The Lovers represent harmony, love, and perfection in relationships. You and your partner are soul mates. Your relationship is built on deep love and faith, giving you the power to face obstacles together and empower each other. The Lovers could also indicate that a sexual relationship can develop into something more, because there is a base of mutual attraction. The attraction can grow into a real intimacy, so you recognize the importance of communicating openly. An important career decision often is reflected in the Lovers card. Since it is one of the Major Arcana, your choice should not be made lightly, as it will have a wide-ranging impact. Make sure you follow your heart and passion. This will result in happiness and success in the long term. Sometimes, the best option is one that appears more challenging. The Lovers can be a sign the business partnership is successful, and that both of you are committed to the long haul. The Lovers represent a sense of mutual affection -- not only between people, but also between you and your money. If you've been low on cash recently, help is available but only if ask for help and communicate your issues to another person. Now is also a good time to take the risk of financial investment, like setting up your own business or soliciting a loan or going back to the school you attended.
