Choice and The Lovers in Tarot

Posted October 13, 2021 by Hazellie Wong in Tarot and Numerology, Tarot Basics / 0 Comments

October is the Universal Month of 6 for love and family, and the number 6 card in the Tarot Major Arcana is The Lovers. I like to give the excus…uh, reason that I buy so many tarot decks is because of the different depictions of the same cards in a variety of decks give me a better understanding of their meanings.

When I first started learning tarot, I was curious as to why the meaning for the Lovers card included choice. Over time, I realized that choice and love goes hand in hand. There’s a whole big discussion that could come out of this, but basically, I personally believe that we do choose who (and what) we love, and that this choice is a basic human right as long as it is consensual to all parties involved. And for the record, I will fight to defend this right for every person.

A lot of my understanding about love and choice came by gradually, with not insignificant help from reading tarot for different groups of people. The depictions of the Lovers card in different decks add an extra element of depth to it as well.

From the image above, clockwise from top left, The Lovers, from:

The Radiant Rider-Waite
Shadowscapes Tarot
White Numen Tarot
The Wizards’ Tarot

We have four different decks depicting the Lovers, and while there is a lot of underlying symbolism in each of the cards, let’s keep it simple for now.

Love can be traditional. Love can be between same sex couples, opposite sex couples, non binary couples. Love can be non-sexual and platonic. Love can be non-sexual and romantic. Love can be familial. Love can be for the pursuit of your passions and interests.

The bottom line is, love is a choice. Granted, some of us have easier choices and some of us have more difficult choices, but regardless, it is a choice, and it is our choice. Choose the lover you want, the family you want, the friends you want, the lifestyle you want…Choose a life you love, filled with love.

Valentine’s Day Path to Happiness Tarot Spread

I am not a fan of Valentine’s Day. I believe it has become too commercial and too focused on material gifts people have been conditioned to believe they need to give each other in order to show their love. It also highlights the “single-ness” of those who aren’t in relationships, and even for some in relationships, there is a sense of one-upping other couples with showing off what their significant others bought for them. Obviously, the more they spend on you equals the more they love you. I don’t think that kind of tendency makes Valentine’s Day a very happy […]

Communication: The 3 of Swords in Relationships

When it comes to relationships, the single most important thing for it to thrive, in my opinion, is communication. Regardless of whether it is a romantic relationship, a platonic one, a relationship between parent and child, boss and employee, client and agent, or any other kind of relationship, communication is what allows the relationship to grow. Relationships thrive on good communication, and suffer greatly when there is lack of communication. I tend to incorporate numerology into my tarot interpretations, and in numerology, the number 3 represents communication. In tarot, Swords are the element of Air, and Air corresponds with communication as well, […]
