The Lovers
The Lovers card depicts a chosen union in which desire and values braid together through mutual consent and clear communication. It blesses relationships and commitments made with open eyes, honest speech, and aligned heart, body, and conscience. Upright, it encourages explicit agreements, equality, and courageous pledges; reversed, it warns of divided loyalties, miscommunication, or fear of intimacy pulling partners apart. The guidance is to name your truth, repair trust if possible, choose with integrity, or release what no longer aligns with your soul.

Visual Description
A young couple in embroidered folk dress embrace and kiss beneath ancient trees on a mossy bank. Small lights glimmer around the trunks and curling vines. Below them a dark pond carries floral wreaths ringed with lit candles past cattails and twisted roots. In the background two maidens place more candle-crowned wreaths onto the water at dusk.
Meaning
In this grove on Ivan Kupala night, two lovers meet while wreaths with candles drift over the water, carrying wishes and omens. The card speaks of union born from choice: when you commit with open eyes, desire and values braid together like garlands. Upright, it blesses relationships built on mutual consent, honest speech, and the courage to pledge yourself, whether to a person, a path, or a vow. It asks you to choose love not as a trance, but as an alignment of heart, body, and conscience. Let conversations be clear, agreements explicit, and partnerships equal; then the way forward gleams like fireflies. Yet the same enchantment can test you when reversed: divided loyalties, a tempting detour, or fear of intimacy can pull wreaths apart. Miscommunication, incompatible values, or triangulation signal the need to pause and realign. Instead of drifting, name your truth, repair trust if it can be repaired, and choose with integrity—or release what is no longer twinned with your soul.
