Although it has taken on a strictly romantic revision of meaning in some modern decks, traditionally the Lovers card of Tarot reflected the challenges of choosing a partner. At a crossroads, one cannot take both paths. The images on this card in different decks have varied more than most, because we have had so many ways of looking at sex and relationships across cultures and centuries.
Classically, the energy of this card reminded us of the real challenges posed by romantic relationships, with the protagonist often shown in the act of making an either-or choice. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.
Modern decks tend to portray the feeling of romantic love with this card, showing Adam and Eve at the gates of Eden when everything was still perfect. This interpretation portrays humanity before the Fall, and can be thought to imply a different sort of choice -- the choice of evolution over perfection, or the choice of personal growth through relationship -- instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort.

Full Moon in Capricorn
When the Moon is Full, we're treated not only to a beautiful sight, but to a frantic burst of energy, too! Each Full Moon has a different flavor depending on what zodiac sign it's in, and this month's is in the all-business sign of Capricorn. And get ready -- the Capricorn Full Moon will line up briefly with the Sun and Earth to create a lunar eclipse, intensifying the influence! How can we tap into the bounty? [more]
Capricorn is an Earth sign that loves progress and power -- no wonder it's represented by the symbol of the sure-footed Mountain Goat! Think of Capricorn as the CEO of the zodiac: not only does it love status, but it has the skills to get to the top and stay there. Because the Full Moon is an intense time for emotions, now is a great time to take control of issues that might be affecting you or your loved ones. But be careful not to let the Capricorn influence drive you to be overly bossy.
Full Moons can also force you to concentrate on challenges that are related to the sign they're in, so expect to confront your own issues with authority -- at school, at work, in general. This is also a great time to make sure you're getting the recognition you deserve for the great work you do!
And whether or not you're a Capricorn, adopting a Capricorn mentality will help you over the coming days. Don't get bogged down in details -- keep the big picture in mind and set a goal! As long as you have something specific to work towards, the Full Moon in Capricorn influence will give you the push you need to achieve it! And make sure you're doing things the Capricorn way: with plenty of class.
