The Lovers Tarot Card Number 6 of the Major Arcana The sun shines at its zenith and beneath it is a great winged figure with arms extended, pouring down influences. In the foreground are two human figures, male and female, unveiled before each other, as if Adam and Eve when they first occupied the paradise of the earthly body. Behind the man is the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is behind the woman; the serpent is twining round it. The figures suggest youth, virginity, innocence and love before it is contaminated by gross material desire. This is in all simplicity the card of human love, part of the way, the truth and the life. The woman signifies the attraction of the sensitive life but she is part of a secret law of fate than a willing and conscious temptress. It is through her that man ultimately comes and only by her can he complete himself. The card is therefore in its way another intimation concerning the great mystery of womanhood. The Lovers represent attraction, love, beauty, and overcoming trials.
