The Empress Tarot Card Meanings and Combinations
III The Empress Correspondences:
Astrology: Venus Element: Earth Keywords & Phrases: Motherhood. Fertility. Nurturing something to fruition. Potential fulfilled. The Empress Tarot Card Meanings The Empress Tarot card represents the female archetype, the power of the divine feminine, and the source from which life springs. Motherhood or 'mothering' in all its guises, is usually found with this card, and it may represent a mother figure in your life. This is an excellent card with regard to fertility matters and can represent pregnancy or birth in relation to questions of this nature. The Empress in the Gilded Tarot nurses the sign of Venus and stands encircled by the twelve signs of the zodiac to which she can produce the physical form. (This card is often found set in the lush abundance of Mother Earth.) Aligned to the planet Venus, love relationships can be strengthened, indicating a strong and supportive relationship, or happy marriage. The essence of the mother is, for me, the strongest association I find with this card. In work or creative matters it tends to show the metaphorical side of ‘mothering;’ something that requires constant care in order to develop and achieve it’s full potential, but with the right combinations it promises abundant rewards and a fruitful conclusion. If reversed, it may suggest reproduction problems, difficulty with mother figures, the repressed feminine, or accomplishments are delayed.
