The Card of Love

Today, I have chosen the Ace of Hearts because we all need to experience the feeling of new love - love that is creative and inspiring! A love that is a muse, to love deities and a love that is on a new level, a deeper, richer and more vital love. And you need to give and receive unconditional love, that is love that is fully accepting, fully engaging, fully real and open, without criticism or judgment. If we want to receive love, we must be lovable; we must show we are worthy of long lasting, sincere and love that has sweetness and beauty, that is healing and motivating. A heady excitement can occur in an existing relationship providing there is a fresh response and a will to please. 

The Dream: A purple winged heart from a vase filled to the brim with the supreme magical power of love. Love takes form within the vessel and can be poured into the cupped hand of one that is open. Never a closed fist! in the centre of the winged heart is a smaller vibrant heart that is open and receptive. This heart nurtures and overflows with caring and happiness. Unconditional love is embedded within the soft velvet petals of a deliciously fragrant rose, as roses have always been a favourite of Cupid's messengers. The universal symbolism of the heart represents the human hearts role as a beating muscle that is vital to life. Like the beginning of a love affair, everything in this dream is enhanced by love's transcendant glow. 

Accept and give love on a new level in your life. To love is to release powerful hormones within the body that affect the mind and physical health, creating joy, vitality and relaxation. 

To attract more love, light a purple candle tonight and go outside and try to see the arc of the new moon. Speak to the moon and star about your wish for more fulfilling and meaningful love relationships, with depth of understanding and wisdom. Listen for the reply from the new moon. If there is a cloudy sky, imagine the moon and stars are there, which they are, and if you listen carefully, you will receive a reply!

Also today the card of the Lovers is appropriate. This card expresses the dance of love, infatuation and partnership. There is love and important choices to make. Partnerships can be complicated, difficult and dangerous. The card says: There are many types of relationship where mutuality, respect, caring, responsibility need expression. Eroticism is also part of a loving relationship usually. Partnerships require caring actions. If it hurts, it’s not love. Mutual satisfaction is the way ahead. 

Symbols: An Angel represents blessings and the sanctity of a higher power. The Tree of Knowledge brings awareness and responsibility and the Tree if Life brings the weakness of human nature and ambition. The Snake represents temptation, and rebellion, but can also represent wisdom and maturity. Nudity shows transparency, vulnerability and openness. The Mountain is one of solitary life, sacredness and the quest for inner wisdom. Adam & Eve are lovers, but are split apart through conflict. 

From Total Tarot

The Lovers Speak: we embody the choices you make in your life, the union of opposites and what you attract. We represent the wave of desire and attraction you feel towards people and objects. We are the bridge of opposites. Our energy keeps humanity moving forward. Your erotic desires, wants and needs feed your creativity. Choose wisely! Yearn passionately and feel everything!
