Love is a verb. It is an active and evolving thing. It can only be understood when it is expressed. How can we show love? How can you show love? How can you express your love and attract it into your life?
Consider acts of kindness, generosity, and tolerance that will show you you are loved. Respect is how you treat people you love. There are always compromises and sacrifices in any partnership.
The other important concept of the Lovers card, is love. It asks you to choose love and to be kind, loving, and compassionate.
Imagine how falling in love can make you feel your best. You are able to bring out your creativity, kindness, and romance. The best in us all is attracted to love.
The Lovers also focuses on dualities and multiplicities. Any kind of partnership is built on the principle that love can be more than its parts. We create roles within our relationships and are part of something greater – it’s us, the other person/people and the energy of the whole relationship.
