The tarot The Lovers, is inspired by a mythological scene: when the young Hercules, having completed his education from the centaur Chiron, is faced with a crucial choice for his future existence. Two young women came along, representing rigor and tenderness, the good and the evil, virtue and vice. As the young hero, pictured here standing between the two women, hesitates undecided before choosing the austere lady, dressed modestly, which promises only moral satisfaction and a seductive giver of pleasure.
The tarot card in the psychic reading becomes an emblem of a fluid situation yet to be determined. It shows to the reader that the consultant is faced with an important decision, the outcome of which may affect their entire future or, at least, a very significant sector of it. If the Lovers tarot card appears straight or combined with strongly positive cards, it means that the individual has a choice to make, that needs to be taken calmly and without external pressure; a choice that, in any case, will prove to be successful. When the nearby tarot cards appear problematic it will require some caution unless the person having a reading has intuitive abilities to tap into. However, the Lovers tarot card, is more than anything a love card, relating to relationships. It is associated with an enlightened person, a successful personality, honesty, moral purity, sincerity, selfless love, or to happy and fruitful choices and falling in love.
Love life and affection
The Lovers tarot card represents a soul-mate connection, the beginning of an important and definitive relationship, destined to result in cohabitation or marriage. The consultant is going through a phase of falling in love or, at least, of infatuation. The card can also be a difficult decision that is necessary to put an end to a state of emotional disorder, with a dilemma of choice between two or more people. The Lovers tarot card can also show the clairvoyant a need to renew an emotional commitment so that the union can remain solid and harmonious over time. Marriage or engagement is in sight; all that remains is to fix the date.
Career
Generally speaking, the Lovers tarot card represents good ideas that need to be put into practice. An exam or a competition that has an excellent chance of success. The professional or school environment.
Time-frame
The Lovers tarot card can be both fast and slow (from a fortnight to three months), and the same goes for its durability.

THE LOVERS REVERSED
When the Lovers tarot card is reversed the question of young Hercules turns into a heart-breaking choice, not without contradictions and afterthoughts. The courtesan depicted on the card seems, in fact, to get the better of virtue, persuading the consultant to walk the wrong path, dotted with easy temptations. It may signal a dangerous encounter, upsets, unfulfilled desires and unfulfilled promises. Doubts, hesitations, uncertainties and excessive emotional instability lead to indefinitely postponing a decision. It also lends itself to interpretations regarding selfishness, to centralization, laying on of their choices at face value, the will of determination and judgment on the decisions of others and misleading belief you’re never wrong.
