![]() ![]() That you want to invest energy in.īut the Lovers is sometimes viewed as Gemini-the other self. So you pick the one which you feel will be a good investment for your energy. In 2/Wands you decide which to pick because you haven't energy for both. Let's compare it to 2/Wands which is also a choice. One last thing (and I hope we're not straying too far away from the initial topic here): The Ace, the Page, the Knight of Cups are "love cards" too, in their way - would you say they are more one-sided than the 2/Cups and the Lovers? More immature?Ĭlick to expand.It always means both. But sometimes the situation itself is confusing, and that's why you're asking the cards for insight. I guess you're right when you say it all depends on context and intuition. What if the Lovers came up in a more negative position? Like, I don't know, what the querent is afraid of? I'd be more inclined to see it as "afraid of making a choice" in that case. (Guess maybe attraction might be lacking?) But it's definitely possible: after all, friendship is a relationship based on love, too. In my (admittedly limited) reading experience, I've never seen the 2/Cups or the Lovers come up for friendship, even a strong and enduring one. So many possible interpretations - that's why I both love tarot and yet feel I'll never be good at it. So if I pull those cards (and I never see them outside of relationship readings), I tend to see love. But the RWS and Druidcraft versions show, well, *Lovers*: Adam and Eve blessed by an angel (I'm assuming ), and the God and Goddess happily making love in the grass. When I use my Marseille deck and I pull l'Amoureux, I usually interpret it as "choice". Sorry, this card confuses me and I end up asking all kinds of questions. Say a querent asks about somebody's feelings for them, and you pull the Lovers: is that person in love, or conflicted? I mean, especially in the Druidcraft deck (and even in the RWS), it's very tempting to see the Lovers as a soul-mate sort of love and to disregard the choice aspect entirely. ![]() the potential for love, that might or might not turn into a deep relationship? But then what's the difference with say, the Ace of Cups?Īs for the Lovers, *how* do you know when it means love and when it means choice? So the 2 of Cups is the attraction, the unexplainable pull you feel towards someone else. ![]()
