Hi LRichard! Thank you so much for taking the time to getting me this information. I really appreciate it. I'm going to print it out and read it. Yes, I couldn't find them on any of my cards - "Astrological decans are not shown on the Rider-Waite pips".
I don't know about the road, although it may very well be. The lion is an alchemical symbol, referring to the union of opposites, as Waite says in the PKT: "above their cups rises the Caduceus of Hermes, between the great wings of which there appears a lion's head. It is a variant of a sign which is found in a few old examples of this card. Some curious emblematical meanings are attached to it, but they do not concern us in this place."
Now, obviously this card speaks of Love, but as a lower numbered card, that love is still abstract and unformed. A crush, perhaps, passionate but of little practical value. The house is still far off probably because the two are in love, but they do not actually love each other (yet).
The astrological decans are not shown on the Rider-Waite pips, but here is the table from Book T.
