Whether or not through adolescent rebellion or through forty-year-old angst, this querent will always urge the individual to be truest to his or her heart. Finding the right partner may for some be the first authentic choice in life they will ever make, as the risk of parental disapproval may almost inevitably be hovering in the background (the artist did not totally forget about this figure for this design - she appears in the top left column); especially should this partner come, for example, from a different ethnic background. Some individuals, of course, do not have the courage to make the choice at all and remain close to their mother's - or father's - heartstrings.

The card need not necessarily appertain to matters exclusively of the heart. The lovers may appear in a spread where the querent wishes to choose what style of clothing to wear, or what colour to wear, or what colour to put on the bedroom walls. The issue of the pearl of great price may emerge in matters both major and superficially trivial.
