The Empress is ruled by Venus and is known as the Daughter of the Mighty Ones. She represents femininity, motherliness, nurturing and feminine wisdom. She holds the balance of the Seasons and the Earth in her hands - she is Gaia, Demeter and Rhea.
She brings harmony, balance and a sense of wellbeing to one's life, and a caring benevolence to nurturing the best in others that helps them believe that life is ultimately affirming, just needing care, loving attention and patience to deliver its fruits.
The Empress resides over an abundant world, green with fertile promise. When she appears in a reading for you she brings good news, especially where an idea or creation is eagerly awaited. She counsels you to put your positive attention on that which you wish to manifest, and to see your vision already delivered in all its glory, knowing that with loving attention and much patience you will be delivered of your desires.
At the same time, she is not a woman to be crossed or to disappoint - she is the Earth Mother after all, and her impulse towards life and beauty will not be denied.
She rules over creativity, and creation, and she is pregnant with possibility. This can point to a positive answer when trying to conceive a child, or equally when wanting to conceive a creative enterprise.
As a person she can appear in your life as a strong and sensual woman who seems to have the secrets of life at her fingertips - life flows towards her and from her. This may be you, or your unlived potential that you can now own and manifest.
If there is a situation that has stalled or seems to be taking a long time to come to pass, the appearance of The Empress assures you of its arrival and success. Patience is a virtue valued by this Goddess and is rewarded in the end.
“You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” ― Maya Angelou
