The Lovers
- Air, Mercury, Gemini
- Ethics
- Moral choices
- Choosing between pleasuring the senses and spiritual ascension
- Choosing between the mind and the heart
- Love versus lust
- Vice versus virtue
- Indecision
- Bliss can become tragedy
The Lovers Reversed
- choosing your own morals and ethics
- veering from your own morals and ethics
I did not realize that the woman stood in front of the Tree of Knowledge and the Man in front of the Tree of Life. I associate the Lovers with affinity and have never connected it with morality (unless it reversed; unfaithfulness). I read it more interpersonal and less existential. Perhaps this is why the Air association throws me.
