One card in both places

When your birth date reduces straight to 6, The Lovers holds both places. Two figures stand beneath an angel, a tree of fruit behind one and a tree of flame behind the other: the card of union, values and meaningful choice. As a single birth card it describes someone for whom relationships, and decisions about what matters, sit at the centre of life. People with this card often learn most about themselves through the people they choose and the choices they make about love, work and belief.

Where it asks more of you

With no second card to pull against, the card's own shadow matters more: indecision, depending on a partner's approval, choosing to please rather than to stay true to your values. The work is to choose from what you value, not from fear of losing someone.

Sitting with it

Think of a choice that changed the shape of your life. Which value made it for you? This card suggests your relationships are both a mirror and a school, and that the union that matters most may be the one between what you want and what you believe.

Questions to sit with

  • Which of your values would you never trade for approval?
  • Where are you waiting for someone else to choose for you?
  • Which partnership, of any kind, brings out your best?
