A little more about the card The Empress...

The Empress is the eternal mother of the Tarot. Sitting on her throne with her golden scepter, everything around her seems to exude beauty, success, and wealth. Her crown shines with the 12 stars of the zodiac and she is surrounded by beautiful gardens.

The main feature is she herself, the archetype of the Empress herself: a strong, admirable woman and a quiet aura. On her head, she wears a crown of stars, showing her astrological connection. She is dressed in a pomegranate-printed robe, which is a symbol of fertility, and is seated on pillows with the symbol of Venus.

This is a very feminine card and is about the feminine principle of everything. It also represents Mother Earth or other symbols such as the goddesses Demeter and Freyja. It is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, art, harmony, luxury, beauty, sensuality and grace. Often subjects such as fertility, motherhood and female empowerment are pertinent topics when this card appears.
