The Lovers

Most things in life come down to choices. Wheater you are in a relationship, you have chosen to be in. Or you are looking for one.

Whether we find ourselves loving, fighting, or just being distant from people, it is down to our choosing.

The Lovers card can represent the relationship that you have with yourself. If you love and are kind towards yourself, you will likely act this way towards others. If you can’t love yourself, how can you love others?

When you find yourself facing choices, you might often feel the pressure that you have to make that “perfect choice.”

Sometimes life may or may not provide you with that gorgeous partner of the incredible career you dreamed of having. You may find someone who, in your mind, is just “good enough” but will love you completely, is a much better option, and will teach us to love ourselves.

Or we may find that job that is not quite what we’re hoping for, but in the long run, it will offer valuable experience for us to move forward in our career.
