Visual Description
A naked man and woman stand facing one another in shallow, swirling water, holding hands beneath a large glowing celestial orb surrounded by stars. A small winged figure hovers above them in the sky, its arms outstretched toward the couple. Lush trees rise on either side of the pair; the tree at left bears red apples, while dense green foliage frames the scene, all rendered in vivid, flowing colors.
Meaning
The scene opens like a private altar: two figures meet in an intimate embrace of gaze and touch beneath a luminous sky, and the air seems charged with choice. You can feel the warmth of attraction and the gravity of a decision, as if every petal, apple and star quietly measures whether you will lean toward union or toward a different path. This card sings of love, attraction, partnership and the contracts—spoken or unspoken—that bind two people; it can celebrate a hopeful commitment, a moral harmony, or the alignment of values. At the same time it carries the whisper of temptation and consequence, where a seemingly simple choice can ripple into deep responsibility. Upright, it rewards honest alignment between heart and action, clear communication, and courage to choose connection; reversed, it warns of misalignment, confusion, temptation, or a failure to take responsibility for the wounds that attachment can expose. Whether announcing a new lover, a moral turning point, or the need to weigh priorities, the image asks you to feel the pull and to answer with integrity. Let the light above be your mirror: it reveals what is elevated and what is shadowed, asking you to act with openness so that love becomes a bridge rather than a trap.
Visual Description
A nude man and woman stand face to face in the center, hands nearly touching as swirling blue-green water curls around their feet. Behind them a large luminous golden orb framed by stars dominates the sky, and a small winged figure hovers above the couple. Trees rise on either side — one bearing red apples — while stars and vegetal patterns fill the night around them and the card title appears at the bottom in Cyrillic.
