Judgment in Tarot cards is perceived by most experts as a positive symbol. The loss of the Arcana indicates the imminent end of a difficult life stage and the beginning of something new. But this card does not always signal positive changes, since the interpretation of the layout largely depends on the lasso that fell nearby. It is also worth considering that its meaning is partly contained in the name - judgment in Tarot is translated as “judicial decision”. This suggests that a person will receive what is due to him fairly.
Tarot Lovers - meaning
Lovers Tarot has a very positive meaning.
The lasso is often interpreted as the appearance in the life of an individual of a second half who is truly sent from heaven. But this does not mean that everything will be very simple. The first meaning of lovers is a test. Without them, relationships, as we know, are impossible. An important meaning of the card is choice. The individual may have to choose what is more valuable to him: duty or whim, past or future. Lovers foreshadow some kind of disharmony, conflict with oneself. At the moment, a person is at a crossroads; he really has to take an important step, since the wrong choice will entail considerable trials.
It is worth noting that such a test can concern not only the love sphere, but also work, travel, and the purchase of movable and immovable property. If you believe the ancient interpretations, then the appearance of Lovers in the chart foreshadows good events and indicates that a person will be able to make the right choice.
In the upright position, the card indicates that the person is completely subordinate to feelings, this does not happen often in his life, and at the moment he is really happy. In order to preserve this feeling of euphoria, try not to spread yourself thin, do not exhaust your feelings and the people around you, and do not become annoying.
It is enough to simply give each person enough personal space and maintain their own. It is important to maintain a sane mind or not get fed up with the feelings that are now seething in your soul. It is worth noting that the appearance of this card does not indicate marriage.
This interpretation is suitable for fortune telling on the Classic Tarot or Waite Tarot, decks that are made in the Waite tradition. If you use erotic Tarots, which are made in unique traditions, then the meaning may be slightly different.
For example, Lovers in the Manara Tarot indicate more self-sacrifice, pleasure from inflicted physical and moral pain, and sadomasochism. The card also speaks of the manifestation of a person’s sexuality through a creative impulse. Here we see the identification of the card with the creator and admirer, who is ready to sacrifice everything for the sake of developing the talent of his beloved.
Card of the day
Today is the time to put an end to any issue. If he tormented a person for a long time, today you can get a valuable hint from intuition. This is a favorable time for making serious decisions in any area. If you had doubts before, now is the time to take a risk. Today you can reconcile with those with whom the querent was, for example, in a quarrel.
You need to listen to your inner voice. It is he who will tell you what to do in a given situation.
In any case, the card does not promise failure, but only a good outcome.
Arcana advice: don’t be afraid to express your own feelings. You also need to learn to be more open to others - not all people in the world wish evil. It’s worth listening to your intuition in the near future.
Arcana warning: you need to put things in order in your life, bring yourself into a harmonious state.
What questions should you ask if the lasso falls:
- What guides a person when he needs to make a decision: his mind or his heart?
- Does he bear responsibility or shift it to someone else?
- Does the questioner have inner harmony?
Reversed meaning
Lovers reversed in the Tarot have many meanings. Most often, the lasso is interpreted as unrequited love. Sometimes the card can also mean sexual incompatibility between partners. This can be regarded as a union of kindred spirits who feel good together, who enjoy communicating with each other, but this is platonic love that will never become anything more.
Surrounded by negative cards and in the event of the death of an individual’s partner, the lasso can be regarded as an invisible connection between a widower and a deceased partner. One of the ancient interpretations says that Lovers foreshadow a very quick marriage concluded between people who do not particularly feel any feelings for each other and may divorce in the near future.
There are also likely to be some problems in relationships, jealousy, a desire to protect your partner from the outside world, disappointment in love. If there are negative cards around, Lovers can warn of betrayal. If the layout was made for the prospect of a relationship with a specific individual, then the meaning is extremely negative. There will be no happy life with this person; marriage is not expected.
In order to find happiness in the future, you need to learn to love yourself. Only then will there be a person next to you who will begin to value you as a worthy partner. Reversed Lovers can be seen as a lost chance, unrealized ideas, an unrealistic goal.
What does the combination of Lovers with other arcana mean?

Reversed Lovers worsen interpretations.
With the younger ones
Combinations with a small circle are a prophecy of certain events. The minor arcana can minimize negativity. In some variations this is aggravated.
With swords
Excitement, hysteria, alienation. Detailed forecasts:
- Ace. Calm down, use reason.
- Two. Equally bad options. There's no way to avoid it.
- Troika. A complete, final break.
- Four. Postponing a decision.
- Five. Treason. Tears.
- Six. Fear of responsibility, bad road.
- Seven. Cowardice, selfishness.
- Eight. Limited, lack of options.
- Nine. A shame. Disease.
- Ten. The last stage of the crisis.
- Page. Trying to choose. There is a chance.
- Knight. Outside interference, bad influence.
- Queen. Divorce, leaving a partnership.
- King. Pressure, authoritarianism, lack of freedom.
Lovers with the eight of swords are entering the peak of the crisis, with the ten - the beginning of the end of it. It takes time to calm the situation. By any means, delay the moment of final determination of the position.
With wands
Ambition will open up a new career path. The potential is growing. Rely on friendly colleagues. Specifics:
- Ace of Wands: Inner Breakthrough.
- Two: route selection.
- Troika: profitable cooperation.
- Four: wedding, celebration.
- Five: analysis of opinions, selection of what is needed.
- Six: victory.
- Seven: forcing a decision.
- Eight: opening of roads.
- Nine: increased doubts.
- Ten: lack of prospects.
- Page: immaturity, not enough experience.
- Knight: impulsiveness.
- Queen: a reasonable woman will make you decide.
- King: dignity, devoted comrade.
Lovers with the Nine of Wands signify a fearful person. Stop communicating. Think for yourself.
With cups
Love bestows strength and breathes hope. The downside: the risk of freezing, getting stuck in a hopeless relationship. Detail:
- Ace: needs to be decided.
- Two: reciprocity.
- Three: marriage, wedding.
- Four: the choice is incorrect. Regrets.
- Five: quarrels.
- Six: nostalgia, disappointment.
- Seven: immersion in doubt.
- Eight: the illusory nature of existence.
- Nine: fulfillment of what you want.
- Ten: the peak of love pleasure. Orgasm.
- Page: pregnancy with a boy.
- Knight: romantic date.
- Queen: sincerity of feelings. A woman is a friend, a lover.
- King: devoted husband.
The lovers and the Page of Cups together mark a marriage proposal, a song of two hearts.
With pentacles
The material suit reorients the fortuneteller to earthly goods. Details:
- Ace: A chance that only comes once.
- Deuce: multiple sources of income.
- Troika: professional development.
- Four: greedy. Blanca slides into stinginess.
- Five: hopelessness.
- Six: donations.
- Seven: a protracted process.
- Eight: hobby, interesting activity.
- Nine: financial gain to the detriment of pride, freedom.
- Ten: prosperity at someone else's expense.
- Page: increasing authority.
- Knight: practicality in life.
- Queen: mother, eldest lady.
- King: wealthy gentleman, boss.
Lovers reduce the delightful significance of the Ace of Pentacles. Negativity leads away from a successful opportunity.
Work and finance
The individual is faced with a choice; he has to decide to say goodbye to his previous job and get a new one (or he cannot choose between two directions). If you think carefully about your decision, you can make the right choice.
Quite often, Lovers appear in a scenario if an individual wants to turn his hobby into the main type of income. The card portends pleasure from any type of employment, good cooperation, and the emergence of reliable partners.
You should not work alone; creativity in a team will bring much greater results. Lovers sometimes warn about mergers and deals with large corporations.
Lovers Tarot - meaning in relationships
The meaning of the Tarot card Lovers foretells good relationships with relatives, friends, and companions. The advantage of an individual is that he is ready to compromise and adapt to the situation. There is harmony in the relationship between a man and a woman, even if the union does not end in marriage, it will be a very stormy, exciting romance.
The card has a negative meaning if the Hermit is present in the layout. This combination speaks either of unrequited feelings or of marriage with a much older person; in this case there is no love.
When fortune telling for a young couple, the lasso warns that people have the opportunity to be together, but there is a certain wall between them, in order to overcome it, both partners must make every effort. If they manage to withstand difficulties, then their bond will be quite strong and the relationship will not end.
Symbolism
The Lovers card symbolizes a person torn between his desires.
This is the world of desires. The symbol of the world of desires is Cupid hovering above his head; Cupid's bow and arrows mean the astral energies that permeate this world, the world of material values and mental discord. Matter is personified by the golden color of the characters' hair - until now, the hair of the figures depicted on the cards was white (a sign of the highest purity).
Next to the man we see two women: one young (she does not look at him), the other old. She could be his mother. This is his connection with the past. The life views of both women are directly opposite: this is evidenced by the contrasting colors of their dresses - blue and red. The young man has one more color of clothing: he is wearing a yellow camisole (gold).
Under his camisole (on his legs) he has nothing - this is a clear indication that he is not a monk. Unlike both women, he has not yet joined any community. They apparently intend to persuade him to do this.
He walks the earth barefoot in order to better perceive its beneficial magnetism, he himself is more of a magnet than a lover (in French, aimant and amant mean “lover” - note). he is looking for his only path and therefore hesitates hesitantly, finding himself at a crossroads.
All four elements are also present on this card: this is air, the impulse of the spirit, represented by the soaring Cupid with an arrow; water - mental sensitivity, expressed by the blue color of clothes and the bluish tint of the old woman’s hair; fire - action, symbolized by the red elements of clothing of all three characters, and earth, personified primarily by the golden color of the young man's hair.
Judging by the posture and position of the old woman’s hands, she demands that he take off his doublet: it’s time for him to change this outfit to another. The gestures of the young woman confirm the same. If we interpret this from the point of view of the esoteric tradition, the young man must throw off the “old man”.
Hence the young man’s anxiety and indecisiveness: he is not yet ready to become a member of the community. But the community is already waiting for him...
Health status
Tarot Lovers indicates that a person is in fairly good health: physical and mental. In the upright position, the card speaks of healing, the end of the disease. In an inverted position, the Lovers Tarot card often warns of possible problems with hormonal levels.
Sometimes a magical attribute becomes a harbinger of psychological problems that will be useless to treat with traditional medicine. In this case, the cards assure that the best medicine for the individual will be his significant other.
