The Lovers
Gareth & Lyones
We last saw this card toward the end of May. At that point I must have been having quite the interesting time, because I said
You know it’s been one of those days when the card that comes up is The Lovers and the only thing that comes into your mind is:
Morticia & Gomez?
Anyway, as I have said before when this card turned up, if you REALLY need to know what The Lovers portends as a daily card, you more ’n likely need greater, deeper and more intensive help than I can provide. Nevertheless…
Some readers see this card as a harbinger of attraction, love, beauty, and trials overcome. Others believe it speaks of fidelity.
Anna-Marie Ferguson, creator of the Legend deck, finds lots of wonderful things in this card, among them the blossoming of a valuable and balanced relationship or a connection on a higher level.
So yes, The Lovers is at the very least the card of a good, solid, balanced, loving relationship − one that is comfortable, open and committed, if not necessarily intimate. Platonic will, in fact, do very nicely.
When I work with clients and this card comes up, I tell them they are being guided to look for perfect partnerships in whatever areas of life they may be asking about.
And I remind them to bear in mind that partnerships are not just about people.
A perfect partnership can be the right romantic partner at the right time, certainly.
But it can also be
~ the right working relationship (boss or assistant) or
~ the right work,
~ the right client(s),
~ the right doctor,
~ the right book,
~ the right business location,
~ the right prayer,
~ the right meditative practice,
~ the right sacred space ,
~ the right Springer spaniel puppy or even
~ the right Tarot reader [This advert brought to you by the committee to keep Neal out of debtor’s prison. Ima Shyster, Secretary.]
So when you have choices to make today, AND in the foreseeable future, look for PERFECT partnership. You deserve it, and you should not settle for less.
Bright and perfect blessings!

A few months back I mentioned to my husband that if he were still working in Middlefield on my 60th birthday that what I’d like most for a present would be a ride in an Amish buggy. I’m still not sure why that is what I wanted most. Not to question, perhaps.
Well, Wednesday, July 8th, is the big day (not my actual birthday, but close enough) and it’s supposed to be gorgeous weather! Bless the sweet Amish man who agreed to take us for a “Joy Ride” (his words) “just this one time” because we’re “such nice people.” And bless my dear husband who tries to make all my wishes come true — even when they’re out of the norm.
Perfect card for me this July 8, 2009!
Thanks so much, Neal.
