Symbolism

- Meaning
- Marriage speaks of union, commitment and a promise made knowingly. It can refer to marriage itself, but also to any firm agreement, such as a partnership, a contract or an alliance. Next to another card, it seals that theme, gives it a character of commitment and points to a bond becoming official.
- Love
- It favors commitment, promises and formal steps such as engagement, marriage or moving in together. In long relationships, it renews the agreement and strengthens the bond.
- Work & money
- It indicates partnerships, associations and contracts that close on lasting terms, benefiting both sides. With money, it favors clear agreements and joint planning, as between a couple or business partners.
- As a person
- The spouse or partner, or the person with whom there is a commitment, an alliance or a firm agreement.
- Advice
- Take on the commitment with clarity and keep what you promised.
