	Christian morality: "The philosophical component of the card centers around choice: there is duality or a decision to be made, and it is a choice between vice and virtue, an ethical quandary.

			IN addition to efforts to make this card about relationships between a man and a women (binary gender), this also perpetuates Zoroastrian thinking. "Finally, the Lovers card encourages you to unify dual forces. You can bring together two parts that are seemingly in opposition to one another and create something that is ‘whole’, unified and harmonious. In every choice, there is an equal amount of advantage and disadvantage, opportunity and challenge, positive and negative. When you accept these dualities, you build the unity from which love flows." <ref>Biddy, Briget. “Lovers Tarot Card Meanings.” Biddy Tarot (blog).

	Pollack suggests the card is about a choice between light and dark, variously defined as the choice between giving in to "dark" urges, and leading a more proper life, a choice between an "outer path" (exoteric) and ~~niner~~ path of the occultist. A choice between developmental stagnation and independent development. Pollack also points to individuation.
