Right now you are going to be blessed with a level of intellectual fulfillment. Now is the time to take into consideration your own ability to shine brighter than those around you.

The image of the Ace of Swords from the Rider Waite Deck is depicted as a giant hand that emerges from the heavens holding a double edged sword. The crown of victory encircles the hand, where the olive brand of mercy and the palm branch of severity hang from it. This card is known to be symbolic of justice, energies that maintain order as well as the equilibrium between forgiveness and rigidity. There is an encouragement of the adventure found in conquest, of a triumph over adversity with a time of great activity. This card will be influencing you in the way that there will be strong levels of love or hate, depending on the circumstances surrounding your life at the point of your reading. The Ace of Swords is the bearer of championing for oneself as well as the possibility of new fruit to be born. For example, this could be a symbol of a child being born who has a heroic temperament.

Balance the pros and cons of the different up and coming events in your life. The Ace of Swords allows you to be cutting in your decision making; you should only allow yourself to make room for that which is pushing you forward. Therefore you must embrace the strength that is being gifted to you at this time by cutting through excess baggage that will allow you to focus on your goals and desires like a flashlight. What will bring you the most success at this time is to stop worrying about what might be and instead take charge over what can be controlled now, what IS. Now you must put all of your energy into creating new plans and ideas. If you are experiencing a time of frustration or misery, you must work to strengthen your thoughts on the happiness that you wish to create, because if you truly want it to happen, then you will.

The pursuit of wisdom allows you to see beyond illusions to the spiritual knowledge housed within life. The mind, without intuition, leads only to more fantasy or illusion. At this time, as in all of life, love is integral if you wish to find truth in the wisdom of the world.  Your emotions are what guide you to bigger and better things in life. The Ace of Swords asks for you to consider what problems you are confronting at this time as well as what is happening in your mind on a regular basis.

Things will become extremely less complicated and you will be able to find someone that will be an appropriate match at this time. But you must make sure that you are connecting to your intuition so that you can be guided to the right person.

The Ace of Swords presents itself in your reading regarding health to advise you to lessen the amount of excess busy-ness that you have in your life right now. Often this card will show up when the question of surgery has arrived in a person’s life.

In work, the Ace of Swords is offering to you the opportunity of a lifetime, to get rid of the work environment or communication with coworkers that take up your time needlessly. Now a promotion is in your future, one that will allow you to use your creative skills and intuition and get paid for it. Keep your eyes open. When this card is drawn in a working spread it means that there will be a period of action that is needed. This could be also having clear clarity and full understanding of a situation, having honest open dialogues. An ace is also connected to new beginnings and the sword can show that you might need to arm yourself for defense. It’s like you are armed for a fight and the other person knows your also armed. This is giving you the chance to say sharp words -  think of the sharpness of the sword. Communications must be reached with of course clarity in a situation.

The Lovers Tarot Card Meaning

Seeing the Lovers in your reading is a favorable sign.

Often interpreted as romantic love referring to marriage or sexuality, it is also much more than this. The card being present represents the hand of the divine reaching down and blessing you in your life at this time. Now is a time of fruitful change and one in which you are encouraged to act. Changes that come up in your life at this time are usually for the better and bring with them good fortune, harmony, and a time of peace in your life.

The Lovers card represents love and affection at it’s highest point. The two figures on the card offer themselves naked to the higher being in the sky often referred to as God. Thy symbolism of growth and sexuality in the card leads the viewer to understand that the love that the card is depicting is not first love or the beginning stages of love. It is more pronounced and mature and often references marriage between the two on the card.

The Lovers card is one of the cards in the tarot that greatly depends on the other cards surrounding it. It’s important to view the location and the placement of the card in order for the true meaning for you personally to be understood. If drawn in a one card reading – like in the case that you are looking for inspiration for your day or wondering what energies are around you right now then it is truly a great card. It says that your day is going to be one of attention and uncharacteristically positive. Today is a good day to make choices, take risks, and be carefree. If in a more complex reading the Lovers card also heralds good news regarding communication and personal values. If you are seeking the answer to a specific dilemma rest assured that you are in the right and that you can trust your own opinions to be received in a positive light.

The Lovers in Love

The Lovers card is a grand card indicating relationship bonds and the affection of those around you. Often it will denote that you are in or headed towards a lasting relationship worth developing and committing to. Other areas of life are affected by this card as well. It confirms positive inclinations of the heart by telling you that you can trust the path you are on should continue moving forward. If you are looking for love and the Lovers card appears congratulations! This is a favorable omen about a relationship beginning. Most of the time the Lovers card appears when a relationship will be starting with someone that you already know and are already close or intimate with. It can indicate that a friend is actually interested in something more or that a lover is looking for a more serious arrangement.

In a relationship reading if you see the Lovers card combined with the Tower, the Magician or the Devil card it tells you that you must be wary in a relationship – usually love or close friendship – and that something is being hidden from you. With these combinations but the Devil card specifically in your reading, it is always best to seek a further explanation by asking for clarification from the deck and drawing another random card. This is because the Devil card and the Love card are actually closely related to card mythology. When you see these two together it can indicate an unhealthy obsession or unrequited love that should be avoided.

The Lovers As Feelings

This is a card which means the person you have asked about feels that you are his soul mate. The lovers is about that special person that you connect with. This is about passionate nights together, but also it is about choice. The choice to be together on a psychic level and also about how two people can be for each other. When the lovers appear as feelings it is about being full of emotion and that you both will be together in the end. I like to think of this as Romo and Juliet in terms of that love connection. This is about wanting sex with you, wanting love with you and just wanting you all around. The star sign with this card is Gemini which makes me feel there is a balance here, the history of the lovers card is about “love” in my view. That deep sensual love and lust that we feel in the beginning of a relationship. 

The Lovers Tarot Card Yes or No

The Lovers tarot card for “Yes or No” readings is about the connection between love and hate, in my experience. Reading tarot for 30 years I believe it is not as clear as you might think when it comes to yes or no. I know that seems a bit sharp. In my view, this card is a reminder that sometimes we can block off or ghost at the drop of a hat, but if we love ourselves enough to take a step back and just wonder why has this happened. This card in love yes or no is a “Maybe” as it is a choice card, just like the seven of cups in my view. The lover's tarot card acts as a "moral reminder" of how important it is to be kind, show compassion and be understanding - even when it isn't easy. Learning to trust your intuition and act with integrity will get you the results you desire in any situation, especially when it comes to matters of the heart - so remember to listen to what your heart tells you.

The Lovers As Action/Advice

The Lovers card tells us to choose love and move forward with our own decisions, no matter how weird or crazy they might be. It calls for a complete bridge of two souls merging together in real strength across the rainbow. To use this connection wisely is to think positively, act lovingly, and do what your heart tells you is right. For love radiates not only as an emotion but through our actions too: Love itself can be seen like a verb or power we direct towards ourselves and others alike!

The Lovers As Past

When I see the lover's tarot card in the past position, I personally see this as bridging our hearts and souls together as one. I love this when it pops up in the past position. This can be past love or marriage partners. In the past, if you pull the lovers then I believe the union has already taken place. I do feel this is a great card for love in the future if you are single and the past has not treated you too well.

The lover's card in the past reminds me very much of Adam and Eve, in that there has been this amazing connection between you both - you are here because there has been a Union between two people - who are in LOVE. If you are currently alone or on your own and you draw the Lovers for the past it can mean that an everlasting love has entered your life. 

I also believe that we have Temptations no matter what happens in our lives: temptations of how we go about a love affair or temptations to end a situation that we don't feel serves us anymore. so, I do feel that this card equals that love is likely to flourish and the fact that it appeared in your past means that love has happened between you and somebody else. I'm also going to say that nobody's actually perfect in life we all have our ups and downs. few are looking at finding out if somebody still wants to be with you and you draw the Lovers for the past.

The Lovers Tarot Card As Reconciliation

Standing together in my card the two lovers can get over any storm. The message if you are asking for love reconciliation from this tarot card is that love will happen again. Previously, the man and women were married by the Hierophant on the fools journey. Whenever I draw this card in my readings, I believe that love wins though all the rubbish that life throws at us. The lovers is about choice as I have said before but also decision. If this card pops up in a reversal for reconciliation then it is probably a no I am afraid. 

The Lovers As A Person

It can mean that a person is thinking of you allot, and as this card is ruled by Venus then this could be connected to a Taurus. There is a focus on following your heart if this comes up as a person. I do think there should be some level here of giving a choice in love. And, I believe this is a good card if you want marriage from this person so this is the choice of marrying someone or not. The card is also deemed related to Gemini - so to me, this is about the fact that this person can be up and down about you. Sometimes you in there minds and at times you don’t. To me, this is all about crazy or things that will pass, and good decisions will be needed going forward in this relationship. 

The Lovers in Health

The Lovers isn’t a common card for health readings, but if it does come up it is usually less about your personal health and more a reassurance that you have support at this time. Other times in health readings the Lovers card will indicate a health problem with a body part that has two parts to it – kidneys, lungs, arms, eyes and there being an issue with both. The Lovers is also indicative of all things revolving around the heart, metaphysically speaking. It will appear in times of grief or loss, but usually as a hopeful card showing that things will be better. When dealing with a loss.

The Lovers Work and Wealth

Attraction isn’t always between two people. The Lovers card represents attraction in finances and money as well. Think of the ‘Law of Attraction’ and apply it to your work or financial situation. Now is a good time for you to branch out and make something happen for yourself. If you have been thinking about a job change then now is the time to do it. When dealing with a delicate work or financial time, rest assured that there is assistance coming your way that is going to lighten your load. The Lovers card can also refer to the coming together of forces, such as in a business proposition, starting a company, or even when seeking a loan. It is an excellent time for you to be seeking out these opportunities.

Reversed Lovers in a reading

Even in the reversed position the Lovers card still represents attraction, coming together, and completion. However, when turned flip-side the coming together that the card speaks of is for all of the wrong reasons. In a relationship setting it refers to people being sexual but not connecting in other areas or can represent a marriage that is lacking substance. The two are not seeing eye to eye to eye concerning long-term goals. The reversed Lovers also gives an air of materialism, making rash monetary decisions, and being irresponsible in other areas of your life. Consider focusing on avenues that make you feel whole rather than those that merely make you joyous.
