The Tarot Card The Lovers is printed within the magical container of The Seed of Life on top, The Flower of Life beneath, a hexagram at the left, and a pentagram on the right. Together these symbols create a magical amulet to help manifest the powers and meaning of the Tarot Card it contains. In this case, The Lovers.
Meaning of the Symbols:
The Seed of Life at the top: The Seed represents the sparking of all life, the beginning of creation, and the source of all matter and intention. It is there to remind you that in your evolution, you must pull from a higher power, not just your own mind and the experiences that are known to you. The Seed of Life represents the masculine force in creation - the place of single-pointed consciousness, overflowing love, focus, stillness, consistency, and intention.
The Flower of Life at the Bottom: The Flower represents matter and the quantum world where intention shapes that matter. In the Western Mystery traditions, this place is referred to as the Prima Materia - the Primal Matter. It is there to remind you that in the process of creation, you must allow the energy of intention to flow through your physical body unfettered, to shape the quantum world. It is also symbolic of The Fool - as the circle is the number zero and the entire journey of the Tarot is the journey of the individual (the Fool / The self) through evolution. The Flower of Life represents the feminine force in creation - the place of infinite expression, interaction, relationship, evolution, change, and the dance of life and death.
The Hexagram: Represents the higher mind and consciousness - our natural psychic interplay with all creation. It is the macrocosm of creation.
The Pentagram: Represents the physical body, the 5 senses, the emotional sense, and the microcosm of creation.
Together these symbols focus the power of the Tarot Card depicted in the center. In this case, The Lovers:
The Lovers Tarot Card: An angel with red and green hair, red wings, and a purple gown emerges from a cloud. Its hands are raised, palms forward, and in the background is a golden sun. Beneath the angel stand a naked man and woman. The woman is looking up, while the man is looking at the woman. Behind the woman is the Tree of Knowledge containing 4 apples; there is a serpent entwined on it. Behind the man is the Tree of Life with leaves that look like flames. In the background is a red mountain and blue sky. They stand on green earth.
The Lovers card is about the union of the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine within each of person. It is about the synergy of the two creating something brand new. It points to the place of transcendence in each one of us where you no longer have the feeling that you are missing something and that you need to find another person to complete you.
The angel in the image can be thought of as a blessing giver, priest, or facilitator of sorts of this inner sacred marriage (Hieros Gamos in Latin). However, it can also be seen as representing the outcome of the union between the masculine and feminine. In this view, it represents the unified being forged by the alchemical union. In this view, the being, even though it has wings, is not an angel but a new Divinely inspired human. It is formed from the completion of the sacred marriage and the transcendence of certain elements of our animalistic and human nature. This view can be gleaned from the fact that the angel is emerging from the cloud between the man and woman as well as from its colors.
The purple robe indicates transcendence, Divinity, and awakening. The purple color of the robe is the combination of red - passion and conscious action, and blue - feeling and intuition. The red and green hair of the angel shows the combined colors of the Tree of Knowledge and The Tree of Life, as well as the green color of the earth and the red mountain. The red wings indicate the immense power released by the forging of this new, Divine self. Like atoms colliding and exploding to form the radiance of a sun!
The new Human is rising out of a cloud as if rising from a womb. Moving beyond the cloud also represents rising beyond the Cherubs that protect the veil as seen in The World and The Wheel of Fortune cards. For nowhere else in the Tarot Trumps do we see clouds. The sacred marriage finally brings stability to our ability to see past the cloudy veil and its guardians and become illuminated directly by the infinite sun above.
Association with Gemini: The Lovers tarot card is associated with Gemini and represents the unity of opposing forces - harmony in duality. It reminds us that every person is our twin regardless of how similar or different they seem. The Lovers card reminds us that each person is a reflection of some aspect of our Divine Masculine or Divine Feminine. That without differences, there would be no attraction, polarity, thrill, or even purpose to life. It tells us to embrace that which is different from us as our most intimate lover in order to find our true selves in that embrace.
When to use The Lovers Card: When you are deep in struggle around relationship, missing someone, feeling needy, or simply in need of love, meditate on The Lovers. Use the card to find the elements you think you are missing buried deep inside the collective unconscious mind. Either in the Divine Masculine or the Divine feminine. Look to the Lovers when you are in need of a reminder that the others in this world are only reflections of you.
Also, use this card when you are ready to completely surrender to that which is beyond the veil of illusion. To begin to see beyond polarity into the blueprint of reality and the archetypes that make it up. When you feel you have explored both the masculine and feminine aspects of yourself, and you are ready to bring them together in union and form a new being. A powerful, transcendent human prepared to drink directly from the source of life itself.
