Arcanum 6 (The Lovers) in the Matrix of Destiny: Meaning, Plus, Minus, Positions

Arcanum 6 (The Lovers): the Archetype and the Essence

The archetype of arcanum 6 is the Person of choice and relationships. The Sixth arcanum is choice, relationships and values. The Lovers know how to love, to come to agreement and to bring people together, but their main theme is to learn to choose and to take responsibility for the choice. This is the arcanum of partnership, harmony and heartfelt decisions. For a person with a "six", connection, love and being at peace with themselves matter. This is not a "good" or a "bad" arcanum: every energy has a resourceful and a distorted side, and the task is to turn arcanum 6 towards the plus.
