Oh, The Lovers Card.

When I first started my journey into the world of tarot, I used to get excited to see this card. You see, at the time that I first bought my first deck, I was dealing with some pretty heavy relationship stuff. I was in the process of getting a divorce, I was in a toxic situationship, and all I wanted was my happily ever after with the woman of my dreams.

Around that time, I turned to tarot a lot, looking for the cards to confirm that I was on the right path when it came to love and that my soulmate, twin flame, my one, was either already in my life or was just within my reach. So, seeing The Lovers card in the upright position back then immediately signaled to my brain that whoever it was that I was dealing with at the time this card sprang from my hands mid-shuffle was The One, even if there were very obvious signs that they weren’t, and that all I needed to do was try harder and be better, to be in alignment with my one. Don’t judge me, lol.

It didn’t help my delulu state to learn that The Lovers card is associated with the Gemini sign in astrology.

Oh! To me, because my sun is in Gemini, that meant that it was a double sign that I was to put forth all of my effort into making things work that so clearly weren’t working. I was in pursuit of crazy, stupid love—or so I thought, in those days.

Looking back, I cringe. I was projecting my desires onto the cards, using them to justify my own misguided beliefs.

Since then, I have learned that divining the messages that you receive is directly affected by your level of self-awareness, honesty, and your ability to be objective. Back then, I didn’t have any of these crucial markers to be able to divine anything for myself and ended up causing myself a lot of unnecessary headaches because of it.

It’s been about five years now since that relationship-obsessed girl bought her first deck, and after years of studying and working with tarot, I am proud to say that I know better and do better now.

So today, as The Lovers card flipped so casually from my deck while I was reflecting on an earlier conversation, I knew exactly what the card was calling me to explore.

The Lovers Tarot Card Is Affirming For Me Today.

Here’s how:

In previous posts, I’ve shared a bit about where I am right now. In case you haven’t had a chance to catch up, here’s a quick rundown:

• I am in the market for a new 9-to-5 job after almost a year of unemployment.
• I am exploring whether taking said job will mean completely letting go of building The Sawyer Club, Coaching, and Podcasting.
• I am evaluating and having a lot of conversations with my partner about the direction of our relationship, shared and personal goals, identifying areas of personal and relationship growth, and checking our alignment with each other.

So today, I’m taking seeing The Lovers tarot card as a call for me to continue to evaluate what it is that I am working to align myself with in all aspects of my life. And, to identify and make choices that are in alignment with my core values while staying committed to communicating openly and honestly.

The Lovers card is calling me to continue to communicate openly and honestly not only with my romantic partner but also with recruiters and interviewers so that I have the best chance of aligning myself with a work environment that I will find true happiness in. It’s reminding me that not speaking my truth will find me drawing The Lovers’ dark twin, The Devil, meaning I’ll be making choices from a lack mindset that will have me chained to the singular pursuit of material wealth, addiction, toxicity, codependency, and feeling trapped because of it. Who wants that?

With regards to The Sawyer Club, coaching, and writing, its advice to me is to continue to communicate honestly and openly with clients and readers alike. It’s reminding me why I got into this business in the first place: to say the weird thing, be authentic, share my voice, and to create and hold space for others to use theirs.

Now, while it may be affirming for me to see The Lovers today, it still does not make any choices for me. Seeing it only affirms where I am right now in life and that I am on the correct path to making soul-aligned choices for my present and future. I am still in the drafts and sorting through all of my options at this point, and that’s okay. I feel confident that when it is time for me to make my choice, that I will make choices that excite and fulfill me in the short term as well as the long.
