The Tarot Cards Reading: The Pope and the Lovers
The Pope - Tarot Card Number V
The character represented on this Tarot card is an old man, symbolizing purity.
The accessories of his clothing are divine material and intellectual world symbols.
The furniture of his palate represent the moral law, the free will.
The symbols of seven traditional planets (the Moon, Jupiter, Venus…) are drawn on his crozier.
Basic meaning:
In the right position, this Tarot card represents indulgence, wisdom, protection, kindness, being devoted to traditions.
In the reversed position, this Tarot card symbolizes cowardice, frivolity, lack of conscience.
Example:
A
mother wants to know if her child; who wants to become lawyer and will
study at the University; will succeed. In fact, she worries in front of
his lack of enthusiasm and the kind of people he meets.
Four
major arcana are pulled: on the left is the Strength, on the right is
the Pope, at the top is the High Priestess and at the bottom is the
Fool.
The Strength card means that this teenager has the capacity
to study very well and succeed but the Pope, in a negative position
means that the child does not have this kind of thoughts in this
moment, the High Priestess at the top represents his mother and her
questions and the Fool at the bottom teaches us that if the child
continues on his impetus, he will not do anything good.
The
synthesis of these cards is number 4, the Emperor and means that the
teenager will obey his parents when they will become conscious of their
authority.
The Lovers - Tarot Card Number VI
Do not think that “The Lovers” card means systematically “Love”.
The principal character this Tarot card represents a young man surrounded by two young women.
The
first woman seems to be rich and tries to take him along towards the
richness; the second seems to be poor and wants to convince him to
follow her.
Cupid, at the top of the Tarot card takes care of this young man’s choice.
This Tarot card symbolizes the choice, the free will.
Basic meaning:
In the right position, The Lovers represents love of beautiful things, the choices, youth, discovery of love…
In the reversed position, The Lovers represents selfishness, instability…
Example:
A consulting person wants to know if her fiance will decide to marry her because he always seems to avoid this subject.
Let’s
pull four major arcana: on the left is The Empress, on the right is The
Justice, at the top is The Sun and at the bottom is The Lovers card.
Interpretation:
The Empress reveals us that her fiance loves our consulting person very
much, but The Justice in a negative position means that something
related to Justice blocks the situation (is this man already married,
not divorced yet, is he a foreigner and does not have a residence card,
etc).
The Sun card represents our consulting person and her
question (The Sun is happiness) and The Lovers teaches us that her
fiance does not know what to do, hesitates but will probably make the
good choice.
The synthesis is 9. The 9th number is The Hermit
arcana. It confirms that her fiance is a discrete person, he requires
time to make his decisions , to tell the truth to our consulting person
about his situation.
