The Empress is the fourth card of the 22 trump cards (Major Arcana) and is associated with the number 3. If the card is drawn in a reading, it is a representation of abundance, deep and nurturing love, fertility and sexual desire, especially for Une femme. She can also mean her own mother, or someone with a motherly figure, that is, loving, kind and offering advice throughout her life journey.
If it appears in your Tarot card reading, The Empress brings a nurturing energy that shows the birth of something in your life. It could be an idea, a relationship, a business, or even a child. It bodes well that you will soon start nurturing something or someone you have been dreaming of.
In a love reading, it is indicative that your relationship is fertile, loving, and passionate. You are being supported, protected and loved. Enjoy the time. If you are trying to conceive, now is the time to give it a try. Take extra precautions if you do not intend to have children.
In a business / career reading, the hard work you’ve been putting in is about to pay off. This could mean that a pay increase, promotion, or earnings will be generated on a recent project. Don’t worry about finances, everything will be fine. When the Empress appears, it is a sign of abundance and joy to come. Things will be in your favor since she has your back.
However, there may be times when your heart and head disagree, you will feel overwhelmed. It’s okay to feel sad, especially when you are dealing with a loss. For those who work too hard and are too busy, try to do something you enjoy at any time during the day to keep your balance and avoid burnout. It can be just a short walk in the park, listening to the music you like, watching a movie, playing video games, praying, reading a book – anything that brings you joy and a sense of nutrition.
This card also encourages us to spend more time with Mother Nature. Take the time to meditate, listen to the rustle of the leaves and the song of the birds. Stay humble and slowly breathe in all the beauty around you. She encourages us to hug each other and take a moment to acknowledge the beauty and luxury that surrounds you. The more you have to be grateful, the more you find. Be open to both giving and receiving love.
