This card calls on you to trust yourself when it comes to entering a relationship with another person. Don't let the tribe (family, society or religion) control your choice of partner. The two of you will combine in an alchemical way to become something larger together than when you are apart.
This card also contains a more ancient meaning within it. It calls on the questioner to make a decision between two mutually exclusive choices. Specifically it commands you to follow your heart, not your head.
If the other cards support a more individual-centered reading, the times may call for you to fall in love with your own existance in order to draw someone else into it. Allow the space for mystery and magnetism to develop. If the 5 of Pentacles also appears, this last interpretation is almost certainly correct.
Psychologists say we attract partners to oursleves who are at the same level of emotional development. Look at who you attract and who you are attracted to. Are your relationships fulfilling? If not, a choice may be at hand.
