- Carver and Unicorn are facing each other, which at first glance would seem to be harmonious, as this could represent a meeting, a coming together.
However, Carver is associated with the sign Leo, and Unicorn with the sign Scorpio, and these two are determined signs of strong character, with Carver a Fire sign, Unicorn a Water sign (the associated signs are listed at the end of the delineations for each Celebrant).
Carver represents play, but with a mixture of sincerity, while Unicorn represents a total metamorphosis.
While Carver in true Leo fashion represents what is expressive and romantic, Unicorn in the Second position shows how these two people had changed significantly. - Lovers in State as the Apex Celebrant has two figures which, while joined are also evenly divided and accentuates the division between these two. Despite the word Lovers in its name, Loves in State can refer to finality, and not necessarily to unity. It should be emphasized that Lovers in State does not always indicate a negative result. Because conditions Lovers in State can refer to the final stages of relationships, where they cannot be expected to go further, or that they have reached a summit or a final form, the reader suggested forgoing calling the partner.
