06-The Lovers – Reversed Golden Deck

Your Chosen Card – The Lovers Reversed Golden Deck

When reversed, the Lovers card suggests that you may be rushing into a decision without careful consideration. Perhaps you have been swept off your feet by a new relationship and cannot think clearly. Love is blind, and Cupid’s arrows may tempt you to sow wild oats without considering the consequences. Are you behaving like a farmer who has not properly plowed his fields or adequately cultivated his crops? Without careful preparation, there cannot be a good harvest. With due deliberation, you can avoid hard times.

Keywords Reversed: Indecision, bad choices, doubt, temptation, lack of commitment, seduction, infidelity, betrayal, disappointments in love, injudicious use of one’s plow, failure to cultivate one’s fields properly, eating the forbidden fruit, being hoist with one’s own petard; ‘idle hands are the devil’s workshop.’

Key VI: The Lovers
Myths/Archetypes: Adam and Eve. Eros and Psyche. Cupid’s arrow. Abelard and Heloise. Romeo and Juliet. Dante and Beatrice. The Lover. Don Juan. Casanova.
Dates of Gemini: 22 May–21 June (tropical); 15 June–15 July (sidereal)
Astrology: Gemini, the Twins (an Air sign ruled by Mercury)
Numerology: 6 (Lovers) = 1 + 5 (Devil)

Mathers: Wise dispositions, proof, trials surmounted; (R) unwise plans, failure when put to the test.

When The Lovers is reversed you can pretty much take it that life is going well but that’s when life takes us by surprise.  If The Lovers is unclear it may help to choose a card from the Major Arcana to provide more insight into what it is The Lovers is trying to tell you.  If you had a particular issue in  mind, or want to seek clarification on something else, you can also choose again to get more guidance.

Complete Book of Tarot: The fantastical nature of such stories prompted me to become a sceptic at a young age. In each successive grade in Catholic school, we studied the Baltimore Catechism with its images of white milk in glass bottles being stained with ‘evil’ black spots every time we sinned. The white milk represented our immortal souls and the black spots all the bad things we had done. The only way to remove these evil spots was to pray and do penance. The alternative was to burn eternally in the fires of hell. Each year the catechism began with the same questions and answers, which we had to memorize verbatim:
