As a Person:
This is someone you feel an incredibly strong soul connection with. You may be in some form of relationship with them. Your feelings for them run high and your relationship with them involves a high level of vulnerability, trust and raw feelings. You can feel the relationship is more than just a coincidence and feels like it is spiritually guided into place.
As a Situation/Experience:
The situation is based around having to conform. You may be learning through a large and measured education system such as public school or church of some kind. It is a time of following what is taught with mindless devotion and not questioning what your teachers say to be true.
As Advice:
The situation requires vulnerability, raw honesty and trust. You may need to team up with a partner in order to move forward. This will be someone you feel a powerful bond with. It is time for you to make the choices that need to be made in order to balance the opposing forces in what is happening. Time for you to decide what you believe in when and to commit to those beliefs.
Reversed Meaning
Keywords:
Self Love – Disharmony – Imbalance – Detached Partner – Conflicts
As a Person:
As a person the Lovers reversed represents someone who is not able to balance their relationship. They put themselves first and do not try to find compromise or equality with others. They may be completely detached from others. They are not balanced in themselves and cannot find balance with others because of it. They tend to argue and fight over the smallest things. Its their way or no way. A narcissistic personality.
As a Situation/Experience:
This is a situation that is incredibly imbalanced. Not everyone is putting the same amount of care and effort into it and those putting the effort are becoming burnt out. They do not feel supported or able to be themselves without conflict. You may be questioning if you should even stay in the situation.
As Advice:
The Lovers reversed urges you to confront the inner conflict you are presently experiencing. You are punishing yourself for something and its time to take a close look at what that is and why. Don’t cut corners to avoid responsibility. Its time to face both the light and dark sides of yourself to make the much needed change the universe is showing you that you need to make. Its time to love yourself enough to step up and take responsibility for the effect your imbalance is having on yourself and your relationships. And its time to fix that. Stand up and do what needs to be done to adjust how your behavior affects others. It is time to find the root cause and change those behaviors.
