The empress

3 The Empress


The empress is the third major arcana card.  She is ruled by Venus as you can see by the heart with a Venus symbol by her feet.  Her dress has pomegranate as a symbol for fertility and the nature around her also show this theme.  As she is ruled by Venus, she represents all things that Venus represents such as beauty, love, femininity, creativity, and motherhood.  When the empress card comes up in your reading it may mean you or someone close to you is pregnant, but it can just as easily mean that you need to connect with your feminine side.  Since this card represents a feeling of growth and abundance, if the card is reversed it can represent a feeling of lack especially in correspondence to creativity, personal power, or good relationships.
