Lovers as Reconciliation (Upright & Reversed) Tarot Card Meaning

The Lovers is the card of love, relationships, passion, desire, and choices. Ruled by Gemini (the Twins), the Lovers speaks to the duality of unity: yin and yang, masculine and feminine, heaven and earth. The Lovers show that perfect union is possible. You can find your soulmate. 

The Lovers feature Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, with the archangel Raphael looking upon them from above. There is the serpent’s temptation on one side, and burning desire on the other. Raphael unites the couple, as he is the angel of communication. Although the world the Lovers inhabit is not perfect, they are each other’s other half.

Upright Lovers as Reconciliation

If you are asking about how someone feels about reconciling with you, and you draw the Lovers, it means that they definitely want to reconcile with you. Their feelings for you are strong, so strong that they feel that you are their soulmate. You complete them in every way — sexually and emotionally. They desire you on every level. But, their feelings or you go beyond simple lust or need, they feel a spiritual connection with you that they know they can’t get anywhere else. They greatly respect you too. They will choose you, over and over again. They are confident that they will never regret choosing you. There isn’t a shadow of doubt in their mind that you were made for each other.

When your person thinks about reconciliation with you and you pull the Lovers card, this means that they still believe that you are their soulmate. They know that they can speak to you about anything. The communication between you two is picture-perfect. After all, Gemini, Mercury, and Raphael all rule over communication. Just like Adam and Eve being naked in front of each other on this card, your partner feels that they can be raw with you. They can bare it all to you. The bond between you two is unbreakable and they still feel strongly for you. 

If you’ve recently split up, their feelings are still there. The Lovers can represent undying love which is obvious here. They still think about you and see you in everything. The connection between you two was so magnetic and your ex realizes this. They regret the breakup and constantly wonder if they let their soulmate get away and will definitely be reaching out soon.

If you’ve been in separation for a while, they’ve realized that their life is incomplete without you. There’s something missing in their lives and they know now that it’s you. There is an everlasting flame between you two and they are confident that you are the one for them. You complete them. If you open your arms to them there is no doubt that they will sprint back into them. Similarly, they will stop at nothing to make sure that you two reunite. 

If the two of you are still considering whether or not you should break up, drawing the Lovers is a good sign. Your partner wants to be with you for the rest of their lives and they are willing to discuss anything with you. You can bare yourself to them and they will accept you wholeheartedly, and vice versa. Stay together because this may very well be your one true love. Stick around for a while longer because a proposal may also be around the corner.

Lovers Reversed as Reconciliation

The Lovers reversed as reconciliation means that they feel out of sync with you and are unsure about reconciling. You guys aren’t on the same page and your relationship lacks harmony. Maybe you’ve been arguing a lot recently? Maybe you’re both saying things you don’t really mean? Maybe you’re hiding things from each other? Your partner feels that there is a gap forming between you two due to a lack of communication. Something isn’t adding up here.

It’s possible that their feelings are no longer mutual, or maybe even vice versa. One of you is more emotionally invested in the relationship than the other and it’s starting to show. They could be madly in love with you but your feelings have faded or barely blossomed, or the other way around. This can cause the rift between you two to widen even more.

When your person thinks about reconciliation with you and draws the Lovers reversed, it means that they are questioning all their decisions in the relationship. There’s been a lot of insecurity and disappointment during your relationship and it’s really getting to them. They are afraid of getting hurt even further. Past experiences have hardened their heart and they reject the idea of baring themselves to others ever again.

If you’ve recently split up, it means that the feelings between you two truly aren’t mutual. Depending on the situation, they could be desperate to get back to you but you feel nothing for them, or you’re chasing after them but to no avail. Take a step back from each other and look within yourselves. After some self-reflection, it’ll be good if you both can discuss the issues you faced during your relationship while it’s still fresh in your minds. The relationship is still salvageable.

If you’ve been in separation for a while, then your ex has no intention to initiate reconciliation. They are now aware of how hurtful it is to bare your soul to another but not be met with the same energy. Your previous relationship hurt them deeply, and they feel that it’s better for you both to go your own ways. At this point, moving on is your best option. The time that’s passed has just strengthened their resolve to never be vulnerable again, not even with you.

If the two of you are still considering whether or not you should break up, The Lovers reversed is probably trying to tell you that you are not the person for them, or they are not the one for you. There’s still a chance for this to work out but communication is definitely key. You need to sync up with each other and discuss your expectations for each other. It is essential that you are honest with each other during this stage because if you aren’t then the feelings of discord will grow even more and a break up will be inevitable.
