The Empress is the embodiment of womanhood. She covers all aspects of love, beauty and female strength. Her throne is one built of endurance, tenacity, loyalty and sheer determination. She stands for the mother, and for the daughter…..who will in turn become mother. And at her highest level, the Empress also represents the Great Mother in her aspect of protector, nurturer, teacher, lover, and friend. Here are all the elements of compassion, unconditional love and acceptance that comes from a pure and unadulterated relationship with the Goddess. In recent times we have tended to overlook the importance of the innate strength in womanhood. We can get blinded by the dynamic power inherent in male strength, and completely forget the necessity for the counter-balancing influence of female power.

There’s nothing mushy about this power – it’s no accident that many Goddesses are regarded as destroyers – but it is infinitely different to male strength. The entire dynamic of its expression is unique and enduring. On a day ruled by the Empress, we need to be trying to touch the Goddess – either within or without. You’ll see Her gentle beauty in a thousand places if you look for it. We also need to be considering love, and the ways in which we express love and receive love in our lives. It’s a good exercise to try out every now and again, anyhow. When we run a quick check on the level of love in our lives as a regular thing, we find it much harder to make the mistake of taking it for granted. On a more mundane level, this is a time to think of mothers – you, if you are one; your mother; the concept of motherhood. And finally, again we need to take that back to whatever we regard as the highest principle of mothering in our lives.

And by the way – just because I have talked a lot about women, and mothers, I am not excluding men. You have many of these same qualities within your nature too. So get in touch with them!

Psychic Abilities : So how do you go about meeting other people like you, you ask? The answer is easy. One of the best ways to find others is to join a local psychic development class, which can often be found at various new age stores.  Another option you have is to go and look into your spiritualist church, which is usually a very welcoming group. Some of these churches even offer development classes. Your last option is to get online and seek others out who are like you. Look for blogs, websites, and even Facebook groups that you can join to find others. Just tread carefully when looking for groups online because there can be some really nasty ones that you run across. Do your research carefully and make sure you find a group that has reputable people, if it seems off or you don’t feel comfortable, stay way!

Elements of the Psychic World: The deck of cards known as the tarot is divided into two parts: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The word ‘arcana’ is from the Latin word for secret. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards, each separately titled. These cards depict symbolic figures, such as the Fool, the Magician, the High Priestess and the Empress, elements of nature such as the Star, the Moon and the Sun, and human experiences on the spiritual journey as well as joys, hopes, fears and sorrows. The symbols are universal, drawn from legend and from magical belief. Typically the Major Arcana cards are subject to broad interpretations. In essence they are archetypes and their sequence from 0 to 21 is believed to represent the soul’s journey to awareness, the process of becoming whole or the alchemical process of spiritual transformation. Some have equated the Major Arcana with the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and work them with the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life.

Tarot for Beginners: In the next section, you’ll find general meanings for each of the cards in the Tarot.

Tarot Triumphs: The Empress is a female figurehead of the physical world, in contrast with the High Priestess as the female authority of the inner life. The Empress’s popularity among her people does not depend entirely on an external show of pomp and pageantry, but also on the way she is seen handling her private domain in palace or castle. The equivalent in modern times is the hunger of the public for details of the private lives of the royals. Ruling an empire successfully requires creating a certain rapport with one’s subjects, and the skillful Empress will understand just how much of her personality to display and what to keep private. A monarch who tries to conceal her domestic life completely will be perceived as rigid, arrogant, and unreal. However, she has to conceal certain things; she has to hide her personal feelings for much of the time, and she must not show weakness unless it is advantageous for her to do so. Her personal and public strength, therefore, is built through these tests and rigors.
