This arcana also brings a refined sense of beauty and a gift for diplomacy. When you are aligned with your values, you make choices that feel both kind and true.

Challenges

The Lovers in their shadow can become indecisive or dependent on others for a sense of worth. You may avoid conflict at any cost, struggle to choose between options or stay too long in relationships that no longer fit. Some people with this arcana idealize partners and then feel disappointed.
