The Empress
Upright: Fertility, femininity, beauty, nature, abundance
Reversed: Creative block, dependence on others
With the Empress the Tarot now starts to deal with the unification
of spirit, mind and body. The Empress is the latter leg of this triad,
representing the physical body and the material world. From her come all the
pleasures of the senses and the abundance of life in all its forms. She is also
the mother archetype, and through her we get a first glimpse of the power of
love in the Tarot. The
Empress is the archetype of the mother, the ultimate creator and giver of life;
thus her associations can be extended beyond creativity into fertility,
pregnancy and the daunting task of motherhood, which she always faces with a
smile and a happy heart. She takes pleasure in all things, particularly her own
creations - and everything in nature is her own creation.
When the Empress appears in our life, it’s time to open up to
perfect and unconditional love. So take some time to celebrate Life! The Empress
can also herald the conception or the birth of a child, and in that
circumstance there is even greater reason to celebrate. The fertility that The
Empress shows can also indicate new beginnings within career, money or
relationships. She also asks us to step out of our day-to-day grind and step
into nature, enjoy a walk, breathe in the fresh air and take a break.
