The Lovers

A significant choice is before you, and it must come from your deepest values. The Lovers is not only about romance — it is about alignment between heart and mind. Choose what makes you feel whole, not just what is convenient.
You are out of alignment with your values, or a relationship has an imbalance that needs addressing. Avoid making major decisions from fear or desire to please others.
The Lovers is card 6 in the Major Arcana. This card shares its vibrational frequency with Life Path 6 — people with this number in their numerology chart will feel The Lovers's energy particularly strongly. The Air element and Gemini rulership echo themes of intellect, communication, and clarity.
