Sulis
Well for such a minimal deck I'd say that a lot of the majors are packed with symbolism and this card is a prime example of that.
Against a black background we see 'the lovers'.
The man is golden and has a sun as his head and the woman is silver and has a moon for her head.
The sun-man wears a silver moon pendant around his neck and the moon-woman wears a golden sun pendant around hers.
They are holding hands; her right hand is holding his left and her left hand is holding his right.
She is gazing at him whilst he looks ahead and out of the card.
White and red roses grow up the sides of the image and flying above them both is a golden cherubic angel with a bow and arrow which is aimed somewhere between the two of them.
This card makes me instantly think of yin and yang.
In the yin-yang symbol which symbolises the universe the black yin side holds a seed of the white yang and the white yang side holds a seed of the black yin.
Neither can exist without each other and they complete each other.
The same with this image.
She has his solar symbol around her neck and he has her lunar symbol around his neck.
They are a union of male and female, of opposites.
The white and red roses make me think of spirituality and physicallity united too.
What a lovely card.
