The Empress and The Lovers

Venus drawn with the card of union, which the tradition reads as attraction meeting the question of commitment. The Empress is not a choosing card and The Lovers is nothing else, so the pair is about the point where an easy affection has to become a decision.

Associated directly with the move from something pleasant to something declared. The pair does not assume the declaration is wanted.

Read for a comfortable arrangement requiring a formal commitment. The comfort is not the same as having agreed.

Enjoying it is not the same as having chosen it. The pair is asking for the second and only the second.
