The Love Tarot and The Lovers Tarot Card Meaning
In a love tarot and the Lovers card reading the Lovers Tarot Card can be easily read to show that there is a new relationship coming into your life.
Is this always the case?
The answer would be: not necessarily.
Although the traditional image of the Lovers card depicts a man and a woman standing under the open arms of an angel, the true interpretation does not always refer to your relationship.
The Tarot meanings are, in fact, multi-layered.
Historically, many early tarot decks depicted the Lovers tarot card as a young lovers standing between two figures, one male and the other presumably female.
In this case, the Lovers card represents the reoccurring love triangle.
From this perspective, The Lovers symbolizes an initial decision.
The young lover must choose between his loyalty to his mother or to his lover.
Metaphorically speaking, this refers to your decision to follow authority or to engage independently.
This is what the field of psychology refers to as individuation, or the development of self.
In love tarot and the Lovers card tarot reading, the choice between the man and the woman represents two directions of action.
The male represents the path of external action, where self-reliance enables the young lover to develop his own sense of purpose.
He must be willing to walk through his doubts and fears that surround his new journey.
The female, on the other hand, represents his dependence on accustomed authority.
The lover does not need to be responsible for himself.
He can rely on the ease and protection offered by his dedication and conformity to what is already known and established. Here we find the need for a choice.
Do you act individually or conform? At this point, the two directions appear to be incompatible.
The lover must come to terms that he can only accept one path. He, ultimately, needs to sacrifice one for the other.
So how does this apply to the more traditional love tarot and the Lovers card tarot meaning of the Lovers card?
In a tarot reading, it is important for the tarot reader to establish the particular meaning for the Lovers card.
Often, this is dependent on which cards are pulled for the reading.
The main meanings behind cards being pulled in a sequence are:
Although the traditional image of the Lovers card depicts a man and a woman standing under the open arms of an angel the true interpretation does not always refer to your relationship

You now must take responsibility for your own actions and depend less on the actions of others.
2. Spirituality
On some level you are integrating both the male and female sides of your personality.
