This beautiful card demonstrates the complexities of love and relationships: how easily we can be hurt by the one we love; how love might not be returned; what we do, or do not want, from our partners or key relationships. It portrays the tugs from other desires, and our weaknesses because of our need to be loved, and the temptation so easily taken. It speaks of us having to make a choice.
This card will highlight any issues that might be obvious or simmering below the surface. This is not a beak-up or a make-up card, necessarily, but it will highlight the need to consider the feelings of everyone involved, especially if any decisions are having to be taken.
What comes across from this Lovers card from The Tarot House Deck, is the lack of communication between the figures. They clearly have feelings for each other which is demonstrated by their hands stretching back towards each other and the sadness of their demeanours. But they are not talking. How many times a sad situation could have been overcome by honest. kind and straight forward communication.
This is not meant to be a card with a sad conclusion – this is one full of hope – that if one of the figures would just turn and say ‘I love you’ then anything could happen………
