The Lovers generally appears in a reading when two meet - we may find ourselves in a blissful relationship, contemplating a new romance and or obsessed with another person. It can also convey a message of self-esteem - instability, perhaps low self-regard and reliance on someone to make us feel whole. It is a time for acceptance and or a decision needs to be made. We need to trust our-self to concoct the right choice - to build relationships (old and new) based on trust and understanding whilst doing a self-analysis to understand our true intentions.
