Symbolic Representation
An angel or a cupid can be seen in the sky above. Adam and Eve or simple a man and a woman are standing under the sky. Two trees, one with a serpent and the other with apples, flowers or fruits are visible.
Tarot Story
Filled with vigor, vision, conviction and a purpose in mind, knowing exactly where he wants to go, The Fool arrives and halts at a cross-road. A blossoming flower or fruit tree interrupts his path, the one that he wants to take to fulfill his future plans.
And standing a little ahead of this tree, on the other path, is a lady. One look at her, and he feels that he has been struck in the heart with a cupid's arrow. Beautiful and alluring, the fool feels she is different.
Speaking to her, his feeling deepens. He feels like he has found a missing part of himself, a part he had been searching for, all his life. The Fool is even happier to see that she feels the same about him too. Knowing each others thoughts, finishing each others sentences, it is as if an Angel above matched their souls to each other perfectly.
Though he initially planned to follow the path of the tree, he knew that if he has to bring her along with him, he will have to face some trouble and also take a path to somewhere else entirely. But, the Fool cannot dare to leave her behind as he knows that she will complete him. So, no matter how much he has to deviate from his original aim, he is taking her along, to be his future. And so, together they start for a new aim, on a completely new way.
Tarot Connotation
Originally known as "LOVE", this card tells us how love follows a succession of growth and maturity. It symbolizes a major alteration in the outlook. LOVE as is said, is a strength which makes you desire, opt and decide for raison d'être one can seldom realize. This card signifies finding something or someone who is so perfectly in sync with you, that even if you want to, you cannot resist the attraction. This indicates that the seeker has or will come across a person, career, challenge which they will fall in love with or be tempted to undertake. This may lead to some of them diverging from their chosen aim, but without this opportunity, they will never feel complete.
Ruled by airy Gemini, the communications sign, Lovers card also signifies having communication and making contact. And also as the Gemini twin symbol, it's about finding your image or other self. So whenever this card has been drawn, the seeker has been told to trust his/her instincts and choose the in hand or up coming job, challenge, or person they are so strongly attracted to, no matter how scary, complex or absurd it may seem, as this card signifies finding something that your soul requires. It's always abrupt and unpredicted, leading to a complete change of future plans. But then, that's how LOVE is!
