The Fool learned so much from The Hierophant, and it is now time for The Fool to make some choices as a result (if you just search up the fool in the search bar, you’ll be able to catch up).
The Hierophant shared a lot of knowledge on tradition, taught of conformity and the higher good, but now it is time for The Fool to decide what his personal belief system will be.
The Lovers represent choice.
The Fool's head is spinning. He is in information overload and now has to decide what his personal truth is. I’m thinking he is also seeking some sort of balance after his long trek.
Is it the balance of his internal halves or the balance of a relationship? What does he fight for? Is it time to share? Do two become one? Are the Lovers just about relationships?
White Witch Grimoire
We see the white dog looking at the black dog, but the black dog is looking up at the great white bird in the sky. Black and white. The perfect symbol for duality. The sun and the moon, complete opposites- but are being depicted in the same picture.
Now, notice these two dogs are connected through heartstrings that come from the Great Spirit in the sky. Seeing the white dog through the lens the material (signified by the sun behind him), and the black dog through the lens of the spiritual (signified by the moon behind her), it looks like the white dog is attaining his connection to the spiritual plane through his connection to the black dog.
The Lovers ask The Fool to be open to giving and receiving. The Lovers stand with their heartstrings fully exposed in raw vulnerability and ask The Fool to be open as well, for we all are being blessed from above.
Behind the two dogs stands the Tree of Knowledge with, not a snake wrapped around it as is depicted in the Bible, but heartstrings instead.
If this represents material connection, we can see that the black dog is paying attention to something higher.
This card is associated with the Gemini twins from the Zodiac sign. Contrary to what most believe, this card isn't always about romantic relationships. The two that become one may also be internal.
It's time for The Fool to choose. He’s apprehensive, will he make a good decision? The only way to make a good choice is to choose who he wants to be in this world and to hold his own truth. He could share his truth with someone else if he so chooses.
Who will he choose to be? If he stays true to his beliefs then the choice is an easy one.
