The Lovers represents conflicting choices, relationships, tough decisions, and internal struggles.
A man and woman are surrounded by symbols of love and growth. Their hands indicate the path ahead. The Fool is a junction and he needs to decide which way to turn.
The Lovers card indicates that you need to make a decision. You may have decided to go down one road, but now another appeals to you. Making the wrong decision will have grave consequences. The decision might not be about love, but this card always indicates that you have to choose between two options.
Your first instinct will most likely be to associate this card as representing love and relationships, but, much like love, it does not possess a simple nature. Not only does love comes in many forms, but the Lovers may indicate important or conflicting choices ahead in your life. This is bad, in that the choices are generally mutually exclusive paths to two very different futures, but also good, in that it also confirms that at least one of those paths will take you to a good place. As such, if you happen to find it in your spread, you should consider it carefully, but not fear it. It tells a story of tough decisions, likely painful and involving internal struggles, but that the correct decision and a positive outcome are within your grasp.
