Doinga tarot readingis a fun and mystical way to tap your intuition and dive into your subconscious.
Each of the78 cards in a tarot deckhas a specific meaningand it’s not always one you’d expect.
For example, the Lovers card, despite its name, doesn’t necessarily mean smooth sailing.
What does the Lovers card mean?
As tarot reader and founder of Witchy WellnessLeah Vanderveldtexplains to mbg, the Lovers is a complex card.
“Ruled by Gemini, it’s a card about connection and the possibilities of deep intimacy.
When this card shows up, we are usually giving our power away to something outside of ourselves.
When we pull this card, it indicates we may feel like external circumstances and relationships give us value.
“If you took that particular person away, you are still a loved and loving individual.
What does it mean for love & relationships?
“This is deep work,” Porter and June add.
When pulled in reverse:
To pull the Lovers in reverse indicates disharmony and reluctance.
“It’s a conflict between the head and heart that causes an imbalance.”
(For example, feeling triggered and shutting down, or unconsciously rejecting your partner out of fear.)
“If things are feeling imbalanced in your relationship, sit with why.”
As Vanderveldt suggests, you could ask yourself,Where do your beliefs about love come from?
How can you embrace vulnerability and honesty in relationship?
What does it mean for professional & financial matters?
“The choice aspect of the Lovers may also be highlighted.
Are you wanting to find a new job?
Are you looking for new opportunities?”
To pull this card in reverse in a career reading would again indicate some sort of conflict or disharmony.
“You may feel unfulfilled or are perhaps dealing with negative co-workers,” Porter and June note.
“Financially, you may be in an unconscious pattern.”
What does it say about challenges that lie ahead?
Tough questions, like,Is your relationship no longer suiting you?
Do radical steps need to be taken?
Do you should probably choose a new career path?should all be considered.
Taking a modern approach.
“The hands on our Lovers card balance each other through position and symbolism.
It raises the question,What are you creating?
