The Empress
and the High Priestess are the two halves of the female archetype in the major
arcana. The Empress represents the fertile, life-giving Mother who reigns over
the bounty of nature and the rhythms of the Earth. From her comes all the
pleasures and joys of the senses and the abundance of new life in all its
forms. The Empress encourages you to strengthen your connections with the
natural world which is the ground of our being. Too often false sophistications
and pleasures take us far from our roots. Let the Empress remind you to keep
your feet firmly planted in the Earth.
In readings the Empress can refer to any aspect of Motherhood. She can be an individual mother, but as a Major Arcana card, she also goes beyond the specifics of mothering to its essence - the creation of life and its sustenance through loving care and attention.
The Empress can also represent lavish abundance of all kinds. She offers a cornucopia of delights, especially those of the senses - food, pleasure and beauty. She can suggest material reward, but only with the understanding that riches go with a generous and open spirit. The Empress asks you to embrace the principle of life and enjoy its bountiful goodness.
Cultivate your own creative potential. Internal accord with the natural world. Nurturing, caring. Understanding.
