Romance, Love Or Relationships:
This is a very potent time for love and you may find that men and women alike are suddenly finding you far more attractive (both in terms of friendship and romance) and you will want to be careful with how you use this power. Don’t underestimate its potency. If you are single and are looking then this is a time when love, true love that is, could very well come your way. In fact if you are single and NOT looking then true love may seek you out anyway. Committed relationships often become sweeter, deeper, and truer under the influence of The Empress. There will be, however, a tendency to get a little carried away with the emotional side of things. The Empress loves the emotional side of life – it’s where she’s coming from – but there needs to be some balance. Don’t let yourself get too carried away!
Card Meanings: Harmony, Development, Nature, Motherhood, Fertility, Accomplishment Action, Femininity, Evolution, Creativity, Sensuality, Nurturing, Beauty, Pregnancy
The Empress is an archetype of feminine power; she is watery, hard to fathom, mysterious, fertile, and sexual. She augurs a need for us to be in touch with our feminine side, to listen to our intuition, and to give priority to our emotions and passions. The Empress does not play by the rules. She has her own way of doing things and her own idea of what is right and what is wrong in any and all endeavors. That doesn’t mean she will always get her way, but she is a reminder not to ignore your creative and intuitive side. She can signify coming abundance but don’t make the mistake of thinking that that will always mean financially. There are many types of wealth and richness in life and money is only one of them. The Empress can encompass any or all of them.

Complete Book of Tarot: Trump 3: The Empress. Unlike the Female Pope, the Empress was a legitimate female authority in sixteenth-century Europe. Being female, however, she ranked toward the bottom of the heap. Much of her authority was due to her status as wife of the male Emperor.
Reversed Cards: If the upright version of this card alludes to the courting dance of the Emperor and the Empress, then here in the retrograde aspect we see a time-out of the relationship altogether.

Take this time-out to explore what is really being offered here. Use all that detailed energy of the four to examine every tiny detail, for only then will you know if moving forward and courting a new person, idea, or position is a good use of your energy.
