I've always been puzzled by this card... Some people say that the meaning of it is choices, and some say love... Which is it to be? What does everyone else think? I have always preferred the Love idea.. Cuz there's not really a Major Arcana to cover this life issue, and considering it is such a big part of life, it seems strange to leave it out of the Majors...

I think that "LOVE" is a much better interpetation than "LOVERS"--lovers implies that you will have a sweetheart, whereas this card is always about "What you love"--be it people or anything else, including your country, your mother, your faith, or that sofa for the living room
You can fight against Love, but in the end, you know what you want, and denying it might bring you more problems than just giving into it. This makes sense, if you think about it, because we can only do right, give all of ourselves, to those things we're truely passionate about. If we take the lesser choice, what we don't love, then we won't be really committed to it. Our heart won't be in it.
In regards to choice, the definition on choice that I've read on this card is that you will be faced with a choice and you should trust your instincts on which way to go, that your instincts are right. Which fits perfectly with knowing "what you love," with choosing "love" and passion. This also relates to Gemini, with finding your twin or other self. And, of course, with perfect communication. Does that make sense?
