The Moon enters feisty Aries at 3:05 am EDT, reminding us that we needn't express everything that we feel. Our reactions to circumstances are swift, yet mature judgment can make the difference between what we say and what we don't. Additionally, an anxious semisquare between logical Mercury and alluring Venus can cloud our decisions by encouraging us to over-personalize what's happening. We are best served by aiming for objectivity in all that we do.

Card:The Lovers Deck:Etteilla Motto for today:May commitment bring out your best. General Card Meaning: Although it has taken on a strictly romantic revision of meaning in some modern decks, traditionally the Lovers card of Tarot reflected the challenges of choosing a partner. At a crossroads, one cannot take both paths. The images on this card in different decks have varied more than most, because we have had so many ways of looking at sex and relationships across cultures and centuries.
Classically, the energy of this card reminded us of the real challenges posed by romantic relationships, with the protagonist often shown in the act of making an either-or choice. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.
Modern decks tend to portray the feeling of romantic love with this card, showing Adam and Eve at the gates of Eden when everything was still perfect. This interpretation portrays humanity before the Fall, and can be thought to imply a different sort of choice -- the choice of evolution over perfection, or the choice of personal growth through relationship -- instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort.
