The Lovers Tarot Card Description

The angel Raphael appears in the sky, suspended in clouds under a blazing sun. His arms are outstretched in blessing over a naked man and woman. The man stands in front of the Tree of Life, while the woman stands before the Tree of Knowledge, which has a serpent coiled around its trunk. The fruits on the Tree of Knowledge represent sexuality. Our desire to eat the fruit symbolizes our desire to know sexuality which, in turn, leads to knowledge of suffering. The serpent warns of the dangers that come with this knowledge.

The Lovers is also a card about choices; choices between vice and virtue, between taking the high or low road. You need to be clear about what your values are. You may face temptation and will need to choose between what you know to be right and wrong. As you continue life’s journey, you’ll be faced with many such choices. Always stay true to your values and standards and choose the path that feels and good and true to you.
