Card 6
The Lovers
Description
A man and a woman stand naked under the angel Raphael's blessing. A tree of fruit behind her, a tree of flame behind him. Two opposites meeting fully, with nothing hidden. The card is about union. It's also about choice. Every union closes other doors.

Upright Meanings
Real connection. The kind you don't hide from. Could be romance, a partnership, a deep friendship. Either way it's built on telling the truth to each other. The card also asks you to choose. Pick the path that matches what you actually value, not what looks good from outside.
Reversed Meanings
Two reads. Either there's a real crack. Values misaligned, communication off, someone not pulling their weight. Or you're at a hard choice and avoiding it. Both ways lead to the same place. Sit with what you actually want.
