Major Arcana
Theme:

Interpretation of the card:
The image depicts a young woman surrounded by symbols of sensuality. She loves comfort and beauty. She reconfirms her attractiveness over and over again by looking at herself in the mirror. The beauty bath and precious jewels are already waiting for her. This archetype embodies a very precious creature, one that every man would like to "adorn" himself with - but not everyone can "afford" it. Grapes and fruits indicate that she does not despise the pleasures of eating, she loves to enjoy a hearty snack.
Astrological Sign: Taurus
Planet: Venus
THE MEANING OF THE LOVER SYMBOLON CARD
1) As a single or first card︱ The problem
WHAT IS THE SUBJECT?
Deep down, you consider yourself worthless, and this feeling has taken over you. You see yourself as a victim. Your feeling of inferiority, the state of "I don't like myself" should be able to manifest itself. It is no longer enough to surround yourself with external beauty, or to go hunting: whether someone still loves you, whether you can seduce someone else, whether you can take them to bed. The card wants to remind you of the feeling of worthlessness and inferiority, which you must now consciously experience and process these feelings.
2) As the next card︱Way through the problem
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT?
As much as "detachment" from materialism and physical things is promoted and recommended in esoteric circles, your task now is to deal with your Venus, that is, to make friends with it. Only that which we have once taken into our hands, what we have completely made our own, can we finally let go. Learn to experience life as a sensual experience and to respect your body as the temple of your soul, but at the same time, don't exaggerate the importance of it or waste too much energy into it.
3) as the last card︱Result
WHERE DOES IT LEAD?
By the end of the journey, you have developed a sense of self-worth and your self esteem has increased. You have learned to evaluate things realistically, to consider them for what they are: material things. You accept your place, you accept who you are. The situation may not have changed, but now you value it differently.
