Meaning of the Halt in Cupid’s Oracle of Love

Card no. 16

Romantic situations are not always as we may encounter them in fairy tales and film productions. Thus, sugary romance is not especially suited to the complicated events that a couple often has to endure on a daily basis. And our everyday life frankly does not help us to be available and enterprising enough to keep on beautifying our union. So, either we love each other as on the first day, which makes life easier, or we slowly sink into a romantic routine that we can no longer bear and to which we would like to put an end.

In this rather gloomy case, it is obvious that a break is called for, and the 2 lovers, who are drifting apart little by little, owe it to themselves to take some time for reflection in order to find the best way forward for this relationship. Children may have been born of this union and will suffer from this situation, investments to be divided as fairly as possible may have been entered into jointly, or perhaps an official union will be broken by a divorce. This situation, as sad as it is complicated, but perhaps not yet hopeless, is represented on this card by a simple road traffic light showing the red light.

Red like whatever may be dangerous and forces us to brake and to stop for a while, in order to set off again all the better once the light has turned green. In any case, for the moment the background of the card is a dark sky filled with thick grey cloud, a sign that the situation is still tense. This card is linked to the number 16, which can be seen as a figure 7 once the 1 and the 6 are added together. In numerology, the figure 7 is the one that embodies all reflection and concentration.
