“When Its Good, Its Good”

The Lovers, speak to relationships that reflect your personal values and being in the sign of Gemini, it’s also where one learns to choose for the betterment of all. This card stresses the importance of communication or expression within the union, as it’s the pillar of any healthy relationship, and you choosing to be part of this alliance will have big changes in your world. These unions may not only be romantic but extend into relationships of all kinds, for better or for worse. Commitments, whether between two people or within like-minded organizations, work in mutual cooperation, each member doing their part, not only empowers the bond but each member as well. This bond is bigger than the both of you. Its binding force is indeed a blessing to both parties providing emotional support whenever faced with danger or difficult obstacles. It’s a source of strength whose integrity needs to be protected from outside forces or temptations that seek to corrupt & destroy it.  Together you become more powerful as a working functional unit at the expense of sacrificing some of your individual will to preserve the union. This is the cost of membership. It doesn’t seem like a sacrifice because you make the conscious choice to join forces for the greater good. This is not collectivism but community. The former, seeking to bring elements down to a common denominator, does not recognize the evolutionary direction of each member while the latter appreciates the individuals innate desire to evolve, and so cheers on personal growth & expansion.  On some level, you have to conform to the rules of the group in order to enjoy the safety, comradery, and benefits of the group. Consider making sure it’s the right fit, dispensing real tolerance and is a place that truly allows for individual expression. Unions will only survive if we have those who are willing to stand by us. Those who treat us or its members as disposable, simply cannot. Question if this is what you want & is it working in communion with your personal values or in competition with them? Watch for those who welcome you to “express your authentic self” only if it conforms to the consensus. Come to a different conclusion than the prescribed directive, and you may find yourself cast out of the Garden with a lack of empathy or at the very least a cold indifference. Sadly, those groups who ooze a social or intellectual arrogance or who have a preoccupation with the group’s image simply cannot tolerate dissenters. It’s just group mind all moving as one.
