THE EMPRESS
Description
The Empress
sits upon her reclining throne, on her head a crown of flowers and wearing
a floral robe. Her throne is made of pillows and by her side is the
symbol for female in the shape of a heart. Behind her is a forest
of trees and before her a lawn of grass. She is relaxed, her face
pleasant as she appears to be at home and in control of her surroundings.
The image here references Mother Nature in all of her glory. It is
the symbol of Mother Nature that the card uses as representing an important
element in the universe - all that is female.
The image
of the Empress reclining comfortably in the domain that appears to be the
realm of Mother Nature appears to symbolise this more than anything.
Divinatory
Meaning
To see the
Empress in a spread denotes that the person will experience a period of
fertility. Either this period will be in work, love or another area
of like. Occasionally, this card can mean pregnancy itself, but I
would not take this card to heart literally if you were to consult the
deck on such matters. Often and usually, this card simply means fertility
in all of it's forms coming into the querents life.
