The sixth tarot card in a deck is The Lovers. In numerology, the number 6 signifies harmony, balance, the need for cooperation, and marriage - which is what this card represents.
Depicted on the card are a man and a woman standing beneath the angel Raphael who represents physical and emotional healing. Raphael is also the angel if air, the same element as the zodiac sign Gemini, which is associated with communication, something that Geminis value and also the foundation for healthy relationships.
The angel is blessing the couple, reminding them of their divine union. His blessing gives a sense of balance and harmony, symbolising union in a grand, cosmic sense between two opposing forces.
Upright Meaning
In a more general sense, the Lovers suggests harmony and balance in your life. You have good, strong relationships with yourself and those around you. Also signifies making a choice or a sacrifice to make something work.
Love
The Lovers card in a love/relationship reading is a welcome sign. It means harmony, balance, and perfection in a relationship. The trust that you and your partner have for one another creates a sense of union and unconditional love, empowering one another. The bond you have is very strong. It can also indicate a new relationship, the strengthening of a current relationship, or marriage. Alternatively this could mean you both need to make a choice and might need to make sacrifices to make it work.
Career
If the Lovers card comes up in a career-related reading, it could signify a potential business partnership or a harmonious relationship with a colleague which benefits both parties. It can also mean you need to make big decisions in your future career or make a choice between two jobs or work and other aspects of your life.
Friendship
The Lovers can also represent a platonic relationship, or a friendship that has the potential to turn into a relationship later down the line.
Finances
This card suggests that you need to make big financial decisions, or a reminder that you can't have one big expense versus another. Your choiecs may have a larger impact in the future.
Twin Flame
Twin Flames are two people who share a spiritual connection. Being two people, one soul, they support you in every way and teach you many important lessons, pushing you to grow immensely.
In an upright position, the Lovers card in a reading related to your Twin Flame connection could signal you're about to meet your twin flame or that you are either about to come into union or are already in union with your twin flame. The Lovers signifies a deep connection from the cosmos, which is what a twin flame relationship is - a deep, intense, spiritual connection.
Reversed, the Lovers card often signifies a period of disconnect, lack of clarity or challenges. It could signal the separation stage on your twin flame journey. This card could indicate issues with communication, trust, or a need to re-evalute your connection and personal growth before fully uniting with your twin flame.
Reversed Meaning
If the Lovers card comes out reversed (upside down), it could mean there are conflicts you are dealing with, whether it be in a relationship, friendship, or other aspect of your life. Take time to think about things and look at ways you could fix it. Depending on other cards in the reading, it could indicate a time to make a choice and either work on a relationship or walk away. A break in communication could be another possibility. You mighr be experiencing an imbalance in your relationship, or that you've been avoiding responsibility for your actions, which suggests you need to make amends or let go of the past and make better decisions in the future.
