Lovers Pyramid

Your heart, their heart, and where the two of you are going

History

The Lovers Pyramid is one of the most used relationship spreads today: the two base cards are each person's heart, the middle card the bond, the top card where it is going. It takes its name from Major Arcana VI, The Lovers, which in the 1909 Rider-Waite-Smith deck shows a man and a woman beneath an angel, a picture of choice and union.
