the lovers

the fool's journey - contributed by Anya Gascoine

The Lovers is the indication of a duality in life, brought about by another person entering your personal sphere and awakening desire, love, attraction and the choices that inevitably come with those sensations.

Being loved is one of the most important impulses for most people, and to have someone to love and to be loved by can be the one and only focus for many. Therefore when the right person comes along, we often get swept away by the passion and the wonderful feelings that relationship evokes in us.

The Lovers tells us that although these energies are around us, and that while these are wonderful, we must also pay attention to the choices this energy brings with it. When someone new enters our lives we must consider the implications this has on our existing lifestyle. What happens to our friends, our job, our home life, our hobbies and social life? Often when a new love comes along everything else gets forgotten. Is this a good thing?

The Lovers duality can also indicate a choice between two lovers. The problem with desire is that it can have dire implications when more than two people are involved, and thus a choice must be made for the higher good of all concerned. Also on his journey, The Fool will encounter many decisions and The Lovers shows him the first. What must he let go of in order to move forward and embrace a new energy into his life?

This is true for all of us. When someone else brings us love and attention, we may have to let go of another aspect of our life that they do not appreciate, or that we no longer have time for. Love is complex, it's not just a straightforward embrace of someone new and The Lovers reminds us of this; it's all about give and take.
