The Lovers: Yes or No
What answer the The Lovers card gives to a yes or no question: “yes”, and how to treat it.
Author: Max Raputum, Warsaw
The answer of The Lovers: “Yes”
The Lovers mean a union and an agreed choice, so they lean to “yes”: the heart and the mind can coincide.
What the answer depends on
The answer rests on honesty with yourself. If the choice is made out of fear or pressure, “yes” turns into self-deception.
If the card is reversed
Reversed, the answer is “Yes”. The reversed Lovers soften the answer: there is discord or doubt, and it is better to put the decision off until it is clear.
What to do next
Ask yourself: would I choose this if nobody ever knew? The answer will show the direction.
The answer in questions of love and work
If the question is about feelings: The Lovers are the card of conscious choice and mutual attraction. If the question is about work: The Lovers at work are choice and partnership.
How to check the answer
Check the answer with three questions: is there “choice” in my situation? Is the lack of “union” getting in my way? What am I missing if I look through the theme of “values”?
