Meaning of Jealousy in Cupid’s Oracle of Love

Card no. 15

In love, once the love at first sight has passed, along with the first outings between lovers and the shared pleasures of intimate relations, a true union generally forms between 2 people. The couple then takes shape and becomes one single being, with the same direction for a vision. It can quickly emancipate itself by easily reaching the serenity that life holds in store for it. And so, between closeness, professional successes and the joy of starting a family, it will be able to attain a certain harmony.

But unfortunately it happens that in some cases one of the 2 partners comes and spoils everything with one of the most excessive character traits there is: jealousy. Indeed, the jealous person shows themselves in a new light, displaying a change of behaviour in their personality, which turns towards acute fits of paranoia and misplaced tyranny towards the loved one. Unable to bear that their love might spend time with others, the jealous person takes possession of them and even goes, in extreme cases, so far as to poison them. According to some psychologists, the jealousy that certain people harbour towards their partners would be due to a genuine feeling of inferiority mixed with a possible emotional deprivation.

Jealous people are therefore people who suffer, but who unfortunately make their partners suffer too, and sometimes to unacceptable limits. To represent this dreadful feeling, this card reveals to us a tiger in all its power, stretched out at full length in the middle of lush green nature. Between its two enormous front paws lies a scarlet red heart, which the tiger has seized and which it grips tightly between its powerful claws, while roaring fiercely. This card is linked to the number 15  and by adding the 1 and the 5, we come upon the figure 6 which in numerology is linked to all sorts of feelings.
