The Lovers card speaks of surrendering our hearts and spirits to the profound energy of Love, even if it seems impractical. By allowing ourselves to open to the "Other", the "Beloved" we fulfill a very deep need and goal of our own Being. To dance upon the tapestry of Life in the arms of our Beloved, is the most powerful energy of all. We learn to interconnect, to trust, to have faith, to risk everything yet claim it all as well. We open ourselves to the romantic notion of destiny, of dreamy hazy days, of sacred union, and of bliss - we learn to trust that any pain that incurs is worth it. This card calls to you to feel the buoyant energy of Love within your heart, and to extend it to all those around you.
