The Empress

The Empress is Mother Earth personified. Her abundant and nurturing feminine energy shows up in numerous values: creativity, beauty, self-care, or care for others. Consider an upright Empress as a reminder to embrace these feminine qualities. Engage in artistic pursuits. Take time for nature-based activities. Participate in support events in your community. Show yourself compassion. The Empress may also signify birth. Whether it be a new life or a project, this is a time to celebrate the emergence of something new and promising, realized through your motherly instincts.

A role reversal of The Empress suggests that you may either be giving too much to others at the expense of yourself or being excessively controlling. Alternatively, you might also feel uncertain about your sense of abundance or become overly reliant on others instead of tapping into your own potential. It is a call to believe in your ability to create abundance, similar to what Mother Nature embodies.
