The lover is a powerful archetype that tends to first be encountered as a late teen/early adult. It teaches us to connect with others, with ideas, vocations, children, art, the earth, etc.
This archetype invokes passion and sensuality in us and others; it awakens sexual feelings. If the lover is strong in your life, you like the feeling of being “in love” and search it out, either with one partner or many.
The lovers attention differs from the caregiver in that the caregiver wants to help others (sometimes save them) and the lover treats others as peers/equals.
Someone with strong lover energy tends to be romantic and think that love solves everything. Sometimes they are seen as having their head in the clouds by others more practical and pessimistic.
Experiencing the lover can be transformative. It teaches us to love and honor ourselves, others and the earth. In its higher stages, the lover can teach us to connect to a higher power.
Questions to ask yourself: When have you fallen in love? Are you in love with someone or something right now? How much do you enjoy your sensuality? Who do you know that expresses a lot of lover in their life?
