Meaning of Illusion in Cupid’s Oracle of Love

Card no. 6

We often hear that love is blind. It places blinkers over our eyes, so that we perceive only one dimension of what is unfolding around us and within our heart. And since love calls upon our strongest feelings, those feelings can be distorted by our utter credulity. While fortunately this is not always the case, it nonetheless often happens that after the waking dream experienced at the start of a relationship, everything collapses like a failed soufflé, and from the magical and wonderful moments spent together, we move on to dark days or evenings spent hoping that the beloved might once again become what they were at the beginning of the relationship.

That is why, even though we are madly in love with our partner, we must keep our eyes open to reality as often as possible. This is so that we do not fall from too great a height if, by chance, we have unfortunately become mired in a relationship based on too great an illusion. This illusion is depicted by the card as the hand of an illusionist, who, with the tip of his magic wand, makes a white rabbit appear out of his hat, against a backdrop showing an enormous red heart, a powerful symbol of love.

Clearly, this white rabbit is nothing more than an illusion that highlights our credulity in the face of the reality of the situation we are living through and the distorted feelings that have blinded us. This rabbit embodies the sad reality when our deep feelings towards a person have been mistreated to the point of breaking our heart. This card is precisely linked to the number 6, which symbolizes all feelings in numerology.
