The symbolism in the card Lovers is so obvious. They are Adam and Eve. Once again, I see correlation between yin and yang. Eve is on the left, and the left hand controls the right brain. Yin represents darkness, female, right, creativity. Adam is on the right, the right hand controls the left brain. Yang represents light, male, left, logic.
Behind Eve is, obviously, the Tree of Knowledge and the snake. We all know what happened.
I think Adam, or the man, can also represent Moses. The tree behind him looks as if there are fire on the branches -- the burning bush. Moses hears God at the same time he encounters the bush. He saves his people, etc, etc, glorification of man. Or he can be Prometheus, or Prometheus's creation, or both. He is both the bringer of life and the life he created, ergo, he created himself. Fire is the symbol of creation -- with creation Man can "create weapons and subdue the beast." More glorification of humans.
The angel above, maybe a messenger of God, approves of this union.
