The Empress : Tarot

The Empress (3)3 – Mother Nature

KeywordsFertility, Abundance, Pleasure, Enjoyment

The Empress sits back and relaxes on a bed of pillows. She is surrounded by trees. A gentle waterfall flows behind her. An abundance of grain lies before her. She bears a shield with the emblem of femininity. Images of fruit are sewn into her robe. With a crown of 12 stars on her head, she holds her royal scepter in the air. Her dominion is Creation.

The symbolism in this card is used to suggest that Mother Nature is the ultimate provider of all our needs. She brings us into the world, she sustains us during life, and she reabsorbs us back into her at death. The other key point of this card is that the world exists primarily for the sake of enjoyment.

In a tarot spread the Empress represents experiences in your life that are very enjoyable and memorable. It can also signify a period of heightened creativity. However, it can also negatively represent blocks in creativity or a period of stagnation and barren results.
