The Lovers

Major arcana · VI

On the card

Two unclothed figures stand beneath a winged figure in the sun, a tree of flames behind one and a serpent-wound tree behind the other.

Upright

Union
Choice
Values

Read as union, but just as traditionally as a choice made from what you actually value rather than what is easiest. Both figures are looking upward, not at each other.

Reversed

Misalignment
Avoided decision
Division

Reversed, the usual sense is a mismatch between what is said and what is wanted, or a decision left open so long that it is quietly making itself.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
