I asked Chat GPT the meaning behind The Lovers tarot card. Emphasis (bold and italic) are mine. The subtitle is one of eight great choices GPT provided me with including my second favourite, “Balancing Act: The Lovers Card and the Art of Integration in Tarot.”

Personally and based on my research, I bristle at the notion that “at its core,” The Lovers is about romantic union. It could be, but I think the true esoteric meaning of the card is much closer to bullet points 2 and 4.

Assuming this is a synthesis of the information available on the internet, I think it’s safe to say that our cultural assumption of this card is aligned with its Chat GPT deemed “core.”

The Lovers card is one of the most iconic and symbolic cards in the Tarot deck. It often carries several layers of meaning and can be interpreted in various ways depending on the context of a Tarot reading. Here are some key interpretations of the Lovers card:

  1. Union and Harmony: At its core, the Lovers card represents love, unity, and harmony. It symbolizes a deep connection between two individuals, often romantic in nature. It signifies the coming together of opposites to create a harmonious and balanced union.
