...with regard to a particular situation. it's been persistent over the months. but how do i know whether this is about love or choice? does anybody have a way determining which meaning applies?

I wanted to learn everything I could, because I was scared and because love and romance are very important to me. I had to be sure it would work....and I'd watch how they would react to something I did or something I said. Then I'd think and think and think, tossing it back and forth until it felt I had interpreted it. It was kind of like a teeter, totter effect and frankly it drove me nuts! Thank goodness I let down the shield and risked everything to love.
Lyric said:I've read that the Lovers is associated with the astrological sign of Gemini. And that it's a constant search for the other "inner" twin, or soulmate. Not that such a thing exists, but just the continuing urge to forever be searching for one's completeness within oneself and that it feels like a search for a soulmate.

There is no 'choice' in the RWS, there is a naked Adam and Eve being blessed by an Angel. They accepted their love for each other as they were, it was only when Eve bit into the apple that they realised their nakedness and covered themselves up. However, even though they were cast out of the garden, they remained together.
Eve isn't biting into the apple in the RWS, she is contemplating the Angel as Adam looks upon her. It's a beautiful card showing a beautiful human experience.
