In a deck of tarot cards, The Lovers is a powerful card that can tell you a lot about your love life and inner peace. You might draw this card upright, or you could draw it reversed—either way, the card can give you insight into your interpersonal relationships and your decision-making process. We’ve put together a complete guide to The Lovers card so you can interpret your tarot reading and what it means for your life.

The Lovers Card Overview

  1. The Lovers card reflects upon relationships, love, and the harmony within them. The Lovers card features a naked man and woman standing beneath an angel. The angel, known as Raphael or “God heals,” blesses the man and the woman and reminds them of their union together. In the background, the serpent and the apple tree serve as a reminder of temptation and the consequences that can come from ignoring your destiny.[1]
    • The orientation of your card will influence how it’s read. It might be upright (right side up), or it could be reversed (upside down).

The Lovers Upright Meaning

  1. The Lovers card signifies unity, harmony, and attraction. Typically, these feelings will come about because of another person. Maybe you’ve found the person that you think you might spend forever with, or you’ve realized that the person you’re with is your soulmate. However, if you don’t have anyone special in your life right now, it could also signify those things within yourself. Maybe you’re feeling more certain about your life’s direction, or perhaps you’re learning to love yourself more.[2]
    • The Lovers card doesn’t necessarily have to refer to romantic love. It can also mean you’ve found a close friendship or have fostered a close relationship with a relative.

Love and Relationships (Reversed) Meaning

  1. You and your partner might not be on the same page. Maybe there’s a key issue that you two disagree on, or maybe you’re fighting more than usual. Typically, when this card appears, your sex life will be amazing—it’s the emotional side of things that could be breaking down.
    • Fortunately, The Lovers reversed is not a hopeless card. You can talk with your partner and get to the bottom of why you’re feeling emotionally distant and how you two can fix things.
    • If you’re single, a reversed card can still mean that love is coming your way, but it might not come as soon as you wanted it to. It might also mean that your love isn’t being reciprocated, so you should hold off on expressing your feelings for now.[3]
