The Lovers
Major Arcana VI
A man and a woman exchanging cups, with a caduceus between them.
Upright Meaning
Represents choices, relationships, harmony, and alignment of values. It often signifies a significant decision regarding love, partnership, or a moral dilemma.
Reversed Meaning
When The Lovers appears reversed, the energy of choices, relationships, harmony may be turning inward, blocked, or expressing in a more shadowed form. A reversed card is not a "bad" outcome; it invites a closer look at where this energy is being resisted, overused, or held back from its natural flow.
