The Lovers

The Lovers (VI) is the sixth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks.

According to A. E. Waite's 1910 book Pictorial Key to the Tarot, the Lovers card carries several divinatory associations:[1] 6.

Another account speaks of marriage frustrated and contrarieties of all kinds.In some traditions, the Lovers represent relationships and choices.

Instead of a couple receiving a blessing from a noble or cleric, the Rider–Waite deck depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

By reducing the number of human beings depicted in the card from three to two, Waite was able to reinforce its correspondence with Gemini.
