Are you able to look at where you are at in life right now with acceptance and inner-peace?
Love is the key to resolving both internal turmoil and external conflicts, according to the wisdom of the Lovers. The journey begins with accepting responsibility for our own hearts and emotions, rather than blaming others for our imbalances. Choosing to remain miserable because of another person is a futile effort, as we cannot control their actions, but we can control our own responses and create harmony within ourselves. By choosing love and releasing the source of our internal imbalances, even those who once irritated us may begin to reveal important lessons about our lives.
To achieve this level of honesty and vulnerability, we must look to the Lovers card for guidance. The male and female figures symbolize the different aspects of ourselves that must be brought into harmony in order to achieve inner peace and self-love. The male represents our worldly, rational self, while the female represents our emotional depth and capacity for compassion. Together, these aspects form a complete, integrated whole that is necessary for our growth and healing.
The angel in the Lovers card represents our higher self, the super-consciousness that looks down on our different parts with compassion, acceptance, and perspective. By bathing the male and female aspects with loving light, the angel provides a vantage point of complete perspective and validation that cannot be found elsewhere. This is the realm of the spirit, where true harmony and self-love reside.
To achieve this level of self-love, we must be willing to bare our true selves and release our inhibitions. This means being honest about our feelings and embracing the naked truth of who we are, without concern for external appearances or social status. Only by going deeper within ourselves and seeking the guidance of our higher self can we find true self-love and inner peace.
When the Lovers appear reversed, it is time to fall in love with your life again and let go of anything that is prolonging a sense of suffering.
What part of yourself used to give you the greatest joy, making you feel empowered, full of possibility, and awake? Don’t romanticize the past, look at the truth it holds. When the Lovers appears reversed it signifies that the shortest route toward inner peace will be engaging with the neglected parts of your heart, talents, and abilities.
The Lovers card teaches us that love and acceptance are the keys to resolving internal and external conflicts. By bringing our different aspects into harmony and seeking the guidance of our higher self, we can achieve the self-love and inner peace we need to live a fulfilling life.
Heal your relationships by understanding yourself first.
