I learned how to read cards on the Rider Waite Tarot Deck and the instructor I had said its easiest to have everyone on the same deck when explaining the symbolism.

About Carrie and @QuickLearnQuests

I have been reading Tarot cards for 30 years for fun. I took a two and a half day course, and I was so excited to be able to take the mystery out of getting readings done for myself, and to be able to do them myself. We also have social media channels, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and all major podcast distributors such as Spotify, Apple, Audible and many others under the handle @quickLearnQuests. I am focusing mostly on my podcasts and YouTube at the moment, but I will expand into more social media more consistently when I find my feet. Here is my YouTube Channel video for interpreting cards in Three Card Spreads: https://youtu.be/P8En-8-8njk?si=7LIlOsFv9pNZ9iK7 Here is the transcript:

Welcome to the "Memorizing Tarot Cards" podcast, your three-minute lessons on learning and memorizing each card using symbolism. I use the Rider Waite Tarot, but you can view the card while you listen using your own Tarot card deck or a computer. Today, we're exploring The Lovers, focusing on reversals. Let's start with the divine meaning of the card and then its meaning when reversed.

The Lovers upright symbolizes deep connections, unity, and significant choices that align with one's higher values. It represents harmony, partnerships, and decisions that resonate with love and commitment. However, when The Lovers card appears reversed, it signals disharmony, conflict, or disconnection from what once felt aligned. It may also indicate a choice that feels out of balance with your true desires. The reversed Lovers can point to a period where relationships or important decisions are challenging. It may reflect inner conflict or a misalignment between your actions and values, urging you to reconnect with what's authentic.

So what does that mean when we see The Lovers reversed in a reading? When The Lovers Reversed appears in a reading, it's a sign to pay attention to areas of discord in your life, whether in relationships, personal decisions, or inner conflicts. This card invites you to confront these challenges honestly and be willing to find a resolution or a new path. It may also suggest that you're grappling with self-love and acceptance. The Lovers Reversed reminds you that alignment with others begins with alignment within yourself. Are you nurturing your relationship with yourself as much as those around you?

So, what is the best way to memorize The Lovers in reverse?

Tying the card to a personal experience helps me remember it. For example, my reversed Lovers moment was around challenging decisions. That, for me, was the time when I had to decide where to put my dad when he needed hospice care. I don't mean which care center, I mean what city. He lived on the east side of the country, and I lived on the west side. We are talking a 24-hour drive away. If I had moved him to my city, he would have only had me. He didn't have his other family members or friends nearby. At the time, I was in my late thirties and traveling extensively for work, which would inhibit my ability to spend regular time with him. Making that decision was for sure a reversed lover because I needed to look at what he needed and what I could do around my career. I was stuck on what I "should do" in this situation. As you can see, The Lovers card is not only about romantic relationships but all relationships, commitment, and inner conflicts.

That's all for today's episode of The Lovers Reversed. Remember, to memorize tarot, keep practicing tarot. Thanks for listening.
