Not a teacher or spiritual leader. A "Matchmaker." Everyone goes to someone to help them find their perfect match somewhere along the line. The College kid goes to a counselor to help them decide on a major that is right for them; the young person searching for work goes to another expert to find them the perfect job. You go to a real estate agent to help you find that home you'll love and want to live in forever. People even go to dog experts to help them find the perfect pet--the one that's just right for them.
Matchmakers are more than those who just find you the right partner.
These aren't spiritual leaders who guide a person through difficulties, nor a teacher who give students lessons so they can become whatever they're trying to become. These are people who figure out *who you are* and *what you need* to be "whole." To be all you were meant to be. And they connect you up with that thing or activity or work or person.
They are matchmakers.
I love this idea of the "matchmaker" in lovers because it stresses the element of decision making. Lovers can be a card of deciding whether or not to go for the "match"offered by the matchmaker. It makes spiritual sense to me now of how this card fits within different contexts! So in the real estate example; the client needs to decide if they are going for the house suggested, in the college kid example he needs to decide if he will take up the suggestion. So metaphysically speaking deciding to accept that which may make the person whole. Thank you Thirteen for the insight xxx
