Love Changes Your Journey
The Lovers Card changes the heart. It can change who you are, where you go, and how you see the world. It points to a relationship or meaningful love affair, not just a fling.
Appropriate words here: attraction, desire, passion, love, soul-mate.
This is a choice. When an important choice needs to be made, the Lover’s Card is all about relationship, mutual respect, love, and decisions.
When you choose an action or thing which speaks to your heart, you learn more about yourself.
Archangel Raphael figures prominently in the Lovers Card which focuses on love and choices involving healing and forgiveness. Love is an inward journey which is Archangel Raphael’s specialty. When your life focuses on love, Archangel Raphael will help you clarify your thinking, and make decisions. Archangel Raphael helps you see life’s endless possibilities.
Forgiveness cannot be ignored here. It is said that the Lovers Card changes the way you love. This includes forgiveness – a life-changing event on one’s journey. Raphael is definitely a master of healing love.
The Lovers Card uses cooperation and working with others in achieve a goal. The Lovers Card is about attraction of any kind, not just romance.
Harmony, cooperation, and unity are essential ingredients when a group of people work together to pursue a common goal. This involves making a decision based on your long-term future.
People are attracted to beautiful things or become involved with people having inner radiances and wonderful souls. They choose what resonates with the soul.
STORY
Whatever happens with the Lovers Card, when it appears in a spread, I’m reminded it is important to read the Tarot in at least a semi-private location.
A tourist came to my table at the Mower’s Meadow Flea Market one afternoon. Not alone, her spouse, several children and what appeared to be extended family members accompanied her.
When she sat at my table and shuffled the deck, I good-naturedly reminded everyone that they could visit the other booths in the market while I read her cards.
They moved over and shopped in another part of the flea market, but not before her spouse saw the Lovers Card. So here I had a group of people, some of whom got the glimpse of some, or all the cards, and a spouse who was quite interested in her spread on the table.
The man returned several times with questions of his own. He returned with questions even after everyone moved on to other areas of the flea market.
On another occasion, and at another spread, I saw the Lovers Card. This lady was caught between men – her spouse and his best friend. I did not want to see this in the spread as I knew her spouse and realized that he owned guns. She had a secret to hide.
I didn’t want to see this secret either.
The Lovers Card spells trouble for anyone caught in two relationships.
Unless there are difficult cards in the spread, the Lovers Card is a wonderful indication for a relationship. Especially if this pair is in the opening phase of the romance. The long-term options for this relationship are another matter.
Sometimes the Lovers Card strikes fear in someone’s heart. I saw this in a man so in love with a woman that he was afraid to reach out – even to touch her elbow with a fingertip.
But, the Lover’s Card can mean other choices entirely: a new career opportunity, for example.
If you are not embarking on a new romance, you may be making an important decision about an existing one. You may be conflicted about your feelings where choices are likely to be put to the test because you are at a crossroads. Ideally, this choice is a commitment to an important path.
Love heals. Look closely at the Lovers Card. Archangel Raphael, with his magnificent wings and halo watching over all. Archangel Raphael is important – along with Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
Early Christians believed Raphael appeared to the shepherds at night telling them of the birth of Jesus. Because of this, Raphael is considered the head of the guardian angels.
Whether it’s a romance choice or a career choice, consider all the ramifications of the situation. Consider what is at stake and then ask: “Is the choice I make going to bring balance and peace?’ It’s time to use your heart to decide. This is a growth opportunity. You may meet new people and choices.
Consider the outcomes of the several different options you may have. Find the most harmonious decisions for you and for everyone around you.
When it comes to the Lovers Card, as in other areas of life, everything boils down to choice. Each choice invariably has consequences, some of which are long-term. A person’s relationship reveals how a person sees oneself.
All love brings lessons. Consider the consequences and rely on your higher guidance.
Use this card to reconcile inner conflicts as you reach conclusions and make them work together.
FOCUS IN
Are you ready for a new relationship? Are you calling in a new romantic relationship? This is a good time to journal.
