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.

Have Tarot Will Party by Jenna Matlin – Book Review

I have loved Jenna Matlin a long time, so this review might be just a little bit biased, but to be fair, I started loving Jenna because of the gems she shares in this book and how much they helped me when I first started out as a professional tarot reader. I was a relatively new reader at the time, and although I’d done plenty of one-to-one readings, I’d never done groups, parties, or events. Jenna had a course about doing tarot events, which I enrolled in, and which was incredibly helpful! It was full of practical tips, creative ideas, […]

Comparing the Three of Swords from different decks

One of the things I love most about collecting tarot decks is the subtle differences of how different decks interpret some of the cards. Artwork is one of the things I look at when deciding to buy a new deck, but the story of the deck is really important too. If you look at the cards below, I have the Three of Swords from three different decks; Shadowscapes Tarot, Dark Fairytale Tarot, and for comparison, the Rider-Waite-Smith, which the first two decks are derived from. Now, the Shadowscapes Tarot is sometimes described as a whimsical deck, in that it’s quite […]

The Challenges and Rewards of Being A Tarot Reader

Recently I came across this brilliant post, Ten Things to Never Say to Your Tarot Reader, about the ignorant and disrespectful statements some people have made to tarot readers. I’ve been pretty lucky in that most people I’ve read for have been wonderful people who genuinely seek answers, but there have been a few I’ve come across that have been disrespectful. Once, someone even said that I probably use the readings to scare my clients into buying protection spells or talismans or some other such thing! If I was that kind of witch, I would’ve already put a curse on him. […]

Intuition – Is it real? Does it really work?

The first “divination” practice I ever learned was palmistry, and believe it or not, my father was my teacher. The reason I put the word divination between quotation marks is because the practice I learned was less guesswork and more science. Science because once you learned the theory, it can be replicated with every single hand you ever come across, and the results will always be the same. IE. if a particular trait on a particular spot meant something, it means the same thing in every hand you see. (Later on in one of my psychology classes in college, I […]
