The Lovers is the 7th card of the Major Arcana (Card No.6
because the first card of the Major Arcana is card no.0). The
Lovers card often depicts a naked couple surrounded by other
symbolism.
It
is a joyful card that is usually a welcome sight in a spread
and can be pertinent in a reading concerning
romance, though this is not necessarily the case.
More generally The Lovers card represents the duality between
the masculine and feminine aspects of a situation or issue,
or of ourselves. The concepts of "masculine" and "feminine"
need not be interpreted literally. They may represent traditionally
"masculine" and "feminine" traits, interests, or emphases.
It can also refer to the notion of "the whole being greater
than the sum of the parts". That is, a strong couple or partnership
can offer more to the world than is possible for the same two
individuals could if acting seperately.
Some specific terms associated with The Lovers Tarot card
include: Love, Partnership, Romance, Communication, Trust,
Beauty, and Perfection. It is very rare for this card to have
negative meanings.
