I figured out that the Lovers Card is my soul card (10-07-87), but what does a soul card mean/do?

HOLMES	14 Apr 2003
the numbers reduce 32 to 5 not six . making your soul card the heirophant. bah i forgot the 19 in front of 87 yoru right it is the lovers ,

your soul card is your soul purpose through many life times. your personality card is your purpose in this incarnaiton. and the reduction leads to 6, without any double digits numbers so both your soul card and perosonality card are the same making lovers more special to you then normal. (in a differnt life time you would of picked a birthday that leads to six as soul number but a differnt number for personality card ) Broken heart again, Another lesson learned, Better know my friends, Or I will get burned first let us examine this.. it is clear that you feel great surrow, and this says that better know my friend that the lesson of love is a broken heart or you will get burned. that is the lesson of the lovers reversed. if it should fail you heart will break, and you will carry the love and pain with you forever (well it feels that way for some ) now why does the lovers get reversed , ? i will post this now and come back and edit while you look in my thoughts on the lovers reversed and readings of other books it came clear to me that the lovers became reversed when the choice is made to not trust, to not fully love, to love with conditions. then the soul love that you found becomes no longer soul love but conditioned love. also the lovers doens't mean you will become don juan demarco but that every one you will meet you will love on the soul level or strive to. this means you strangers, your parents, your families members, your co workers, your friends. just as you can love fully you can hurt fully , and so this lesson is about accept and risking love . that means risking love for the rewards, accepting love for the pain. this is your time now to make sure that all love you expereince is on the soul levle, it is your ultimate lesson to furfill. and could be your downfall should you decide to love form conditions. lovers speak of choices, to love or not love, to be loved or to refuse love. this could speak of sex as some tarot cards show lovers in an embrace, but it speaks of that love that transcend sex and so sex is just a natural result of that love for relationship not the end all. you might not know it , .. but the lovers has the devil, the tower , and the star in it as well. and this occurs by justice, wheel of fortune and hermit energies. so . lovers by being alone from each other, hiding their true selves from each other , become the devil by fear, attachements, and power struggles, should one lover over power the other lover making them fearfull of losing their love it becomes a powerstruggle, lovers by wheel of fortune becomes the tower. they see that life has happend to them and blame each other , and shake the foundaiton of their love and beliefs of the tower in the end in order to continue they must realize that their choices and how they react to life can help them endure the tower when it comes along. and lovers by realizing the justice of their conquences of their actions and choices see the hope of the star. the star gives them hope and compassion for each other for they know no matter how bad things get they are each other strenghts and forginess is the key . they also realize that love is full of justic it isn't you , it ins't me,, it is us and the deciision we make together.

the reason why I chose those lyrics as my signature for now, are becuz Ive had a few icky breakups in the past few months and most of my friendships seem unstable. I feel as tho im traveling the same path and that my heart just gets broken once again. Same plot, different character type thing. So...seeings as how the Lovers card is my soul and personality, that means that my whole destiny is centered around what this card stands for...love, trust, beauty, and happiness?? And, in 2005 when Im 17, I figured out that the Lovers card will be my year card. Does this mean my whole life will be dvoted to love and what the card embodies, instead of just a good chunk that already strived for love??

Hi! My personality and soul card is also the Lovers. I've taken this to mean that yes, my life is sort of devoted to love. But keep in mind that love takes many forms. Including "tough love". Choices are also a big part of this card. When I've faced with big choices I often think about that and get very nervous! LOL Since 6 = lovers is your personality/soul card then your Shadow card is 15 = Devil. Addictions might become an issue. Mine is food addiction, :D But I'm working on it. You also might have some co-dependency issues. My suggestion is to make some notes about each card, what you see and feel about them. Then later on when you think about it again, make more notes. Read your old notes. Keep doing that and eventually it will all become more clear. R :)

HI Rhiannon (love ur name BTW). I was looking at the meaning of the devil card...and it said something about bondage. Could that possibly explain why I tend to have problems letting go of past relationships?? ~Thanks~

People with the Lovers as a soul/personality card are people who can care deeply. It might be a person you care about or it could be a cause. Your real challenge is to care about something that gives something back. })

Absolutely have to agree with MT and Pollux here, especially since Pollux is my astro twin and all, lol :* for Pollux and MT. Bondage with the Devil card could be what you are talking about, PA.... sometimes we care too much, so that it gets to the point that we are smothering those we love. "loving them to death", LOL Funny thought. I've found my biggest challenge is to let people live their own lives instead of always listening to my advice and doing what I tell them. I'm not bossy, I just get tired of seeing them make mistakes when I TOLD THEM SO! :D Keep exploring, you'll get it! R :)

Rhi said "loving them to death" Hmm...sounds about right for me. Thanks yall ~Sarah~
