Meaning of Failure in Cupid’s Oracle of Love

Card no. 34

Despite all the joys, the pleasure and the happiness that love brings to 2 people who are romantically attached to one another, there is the other side of the coin which means that life as a couple can become very difficult to bear in the long run. While many couples manage to bear this by granting each other flexibility and understanding on a daily basis, others come up against habits and everyday worries and never stop regarding their partner as a scapegoat and a whipping boy.

These couples, who therefore live through situations that are more than tense, in which almost no joint plan can come to fruition, really struggle to go on living together? And yet, they could not see themselves living one without the other. That is precisely the whole paradox, between hatred and love which spreads little by little between them. All the more so as they truly play dirty tricks on each other, where each of the 2 would like to win the game, or at the very least, be able to carry off the final round. It is therefore a dangerous game that these lovers indulge in, one that is rarely a source of growth, because no lesson will ever be drawn from it.

Quite the contrary, it will only reinforce the failure of their union, but that is how they have now chosen to love each other. Between low blows and betrayal. To depict this sad fate shared by some couples, the card shows us a chessboard in close-up, where a king and a queen confront each other during a delicate passage, which is going to prove painful for one of them, who is going to find themselves in the position known as “Checkmate”. The colours of the card are dark and even the white of one of the sides is transposed into an ochre brown, a sign that the situation is rather murky. This card is linked to the number 34, which gives us the figure 7 after reduction, and which expresses mental strength in numerology.
