What it means
The Lovers show a naked man and woman under the blessing of an angel, with the tree of knowledge behind them. The card speaks of love and union, but above all of choice: lining up what you do with what you believe in. It can announce an important relationship or a decision that touches your values, where you cannot stay on both sides at once.
In love
Strong attraction, harmony and a deep connection. Sometimes, a choice between two people or two paths.
At work and with money
A partnership that works or a decision that has to be in line with your values.
Do you have a question for the cards?
Choose a reader and a spread: one card, three, or the full Celtic Cross.
