Card combination

The Lovers and The Star

Both Air, and the tradition reads the pair as love without defence. The Star is unclothed and unhurried, which is a particular kind of exposure the Lovers card also carries. Drawn together they describe openness that is being met rather than punished.

In love

Associated with a relationship where somebody has stopped protecting themselves. Read warmly and with some care.

In career

Read for a working relationship built on candour. The pair is favourable and notes that it depends on the other side.

The advice

The openness is the good part. Keep noticing whether it is being met, because that is what makes it safe rather than reckless.
