The path of the Lovers represents making the right choice. The right choice represents the union of two people bonding together as one…

“I am ruled by the zodiac sign of Gemini, ruled by the planet Mercury (the planet that makes you take risks)! Cupid may be hovering in the clouds with his bow and arrow, poised to shoot at any moment.”

“I represent a “Scary Choice” that you will make. Your choice will lead you to blissful happiness or the experience of a connection that was not right for you!”

“One way or another, the Lovers card signifies intimate relationships and since physical attractions are an inevitable aspect of life, the temptation they present to forget what is truly in your heart poses a formidable struggle, especially when you make the wrong choice.”

Be prepared for delays because I may keep you waiting until I am ready.”

“My focus is strong and magical. They call me Magic, I am the experienced schmoozer with bursts of energy!”
