My Time with The Lovers Card Today
Alright, so I decided to sit down with my deck earlier. Wasn’t really looking for anything specific, just wanted to pull a card for the day, you know? Did my usual shuffle, cut the deck, and bam – The Lovers popped out.
First thing that hits you is always the choice aspect, right? The duality, Adam and Eve, the angel looking down. All that stuff the books tell you. And yeah, relationships too, partnerships. My mind kinda went there for a second.
But then, I just kept looking at it.
It wasn’t really about a big romantic decision today. Felt different. It actually took me back, way back, to when I had to choose between sticking with a steady job I kinda hated and taking a huge leap into doing my own thing. Wasn’t about another person, it was purely about me and what path felt… right? Even though ‘right’ felt scary as hell back then.
- Steady paycheck vs. unpredictable income.
- Known routine vs. complete unknown.
- What everyone else expected vs. what I secretly wanted.
Looking at the figures on the card today, the man looking at the woman, the woman looking up at the angel… it felt less about two people choosing each other and more about that internal conversation. The practical side versus the hopeful side, maybe? Or maybe listening to that higher guidance, that gut feeling, even when the logical path seems obvious.
I remember agonizing over that decision for weeks. Lost sleep over it. Talked circles around it with anyone who would listen, but ultimately, nobody else could make that call. Just like in the card, there’s this moment where you’re presented with the options, stark naked, and you just gotta pick.
So, I just sat there with the card for a bit longer. Didn’t really journal much today. Just let that memory wash over me and acknowledged that feeling again. That point of decision, the weight of it. The Lovers, for me today, wasn’t about finding a partner, but about remembering what it feels like to make a really fundamental choice about who you are and where you’re headed. It’s raw, that feeling.
Finished up by just putting the card back. Felt kinda grounded afterwards, actually. Just a reminder that choices, big and small, shape things. Yeah, that was my practice with The Lovers today.
