The Lovers is a powerful card.  Yes this card symbolizes love.  It also indicates choices.  Those born under the sign of Gemini are represented by The Lovers.  Strong, solid relationships of the platonic nature, friendship, can also be found here.  This card is about creating lasting relationships and being responsible for them.  The Lovers indicates a communion of souls and harmonious relationships all around.

Upright:  The Lovers have come together.  A decision must be made.  Choices cannot be left alone; a path needs to be chosen.  Building harmonious relationships with ourselves and with others is a central and necessary.  Focus on what is important in life.  Find the passion and compassion within ourselves and others.  Truly love is all that is needed.  The desire to have and share all types of love is present in The Lovers upright.  We may find that the hobby we started is a budding new passion in our life.  All levels of love, spiritual; emotional; and physical, are signified by this card when upright.  The desire for all of our relationships to be balanced and nurtured to their fullest potential is shown by The Lovers.

Reversed:  The Lovers reversed indicates indecision.  This card is about making the most of the situation we are in and choosing wisely.  A rough start, or delays, in getting what is desired is signified.  This card can represent inadequate relationships.  A division between two people in a relationship is represented.  These two will have to make an effort to get past what is dividing them in order to continue onward together.  “Making the most of it”, very much like the Apollo 13 team, is the focus of this card now.  The ideal relationship is, for the moment, unattainable.  We have to make choices based upon our current situation in life.  How can we restore the balance to our relationships?  Though it may not be easy, The Lovers reminds us that we have committed ourselves and now we have to make this work one way or another. With equal amounts of effort by both parties, The Lovers can become upright and regain the focus on their joint goal, to love and care for each other.
