Tarot Card of the Week

 

6 - The Lovers - Gemini

 

The mind thinks in black and white.  

​

It reminds us not to go down the dark alley at night, to put gas in the car, or to put food in our stomachs.

​

The heart witnesses the world through a subtler lens, full of nuances and a wide array of colors and tones.

​

Love speaks to a part of us that knows itself as a whole.  It connects us back to our own Divinity. 

​

There are no words to fully describe the magic of love.

​

It is beyond our spoken language.

​

While the mind divides.

​

The heart unites.

​

While the mind thinks.

​

The heart knows.

​

And, we don’t have a choice when it comes to love.

It is out of our hands.

​

Often, we fall in love with someone who holds a strength in an area that we wish to develop in ourselves.

​

Perhaps they are our polar opposite.

​

When we see that Divine spark in another, we get a glimpse of the Divine’s love for us.

​

It plugs us back in.

​

When it was time to create this card, a magician appeared in my mind.  

​

I saw the division.   

​

Then, in the blink of an eye and a flip of a card, I witnessed unity.

Love is like that.  

​

It heals the divide.  

​

Like a magic trick

.

Oh, and one more thing …

Love changes everything.

​

When I began creating this card, I was shown a magician performing a sleight-of-hand trick.  His face was half light, and half dark, and his eye was half white and half blue.  This division represents duality and our ability to choose.  In his hand is a wand created from the energy above his head.  The division of the face and the eye also highlights the brain's black-and-white thinking.  Good/bad, right/wrong, etc.  But when he brings his thoughts down to his heart, the division ends and is replaced by a rainbow of colors.  Two hands of opposite colors burst through a multicolored flower, highlighting the glory and unity of love.

​

When The Lover card appears, it may indicate that you need to make a choice.  Perhaps a love relationship is on the way, if it hasn’t already appeared.  It could represent a marriage of some sort.  Lastly, this card asks you to make a choice from your heart, not your head.
