Story Line: Reading the card

I make my choices through being conscious and aligned in my mind and heart. It is my choices that show what I truly am. 

The Lovers generally appears in a reading when two meet. We may find ourselves in a blissful relationship, contemplating a new romance, or obsessed with another person. It can also convey a message of self-esteem, instability, low self-regard and reliance on someone to make us feel whole.  Often it indicates it is a time for acceptance or a decision needs to be made. We need to trust our-self to make the right choice, to build relationships (old and new) based on trust and understanding whilst doing a self-analysis to understand our true intentions.
