The Empress Tarot Card Description

The Empress Tarot card depicts a very feminine and sensual woman sitting in the middle of nature. She does not hide but is very present and symbolizes fertility, sensuality and femininity as her main characteristics.

She has blond, full hair and radiates deep satisfaction and fulfillment. Her clothing suggests wealth and abundance, which she also flaunts without appearing decadent or aloof.

The Empress wears a crown with twelve stars, a mystical symbol of her connection to the natural cycles that immediately surround us (such as the 12 calendar months or signs of the zodiac).

Her robe is embroidered with pomegranates, expressing abundance and fertility. She sits on several pillows and a red blanket.

One cushion bears the symbol for Venus, the goddess of love, fertility, beauty and grace, just like The Empress herself. Looking at the surroundings of The Empress, it is noticeable that she is sitting in the middle of a small forest in a clearing.

The scenery exudes a lot of harmony and balance with nature. The connectedness and unity with Mother Earth that surrounds us are thus impressively depicted.

We learn to feel and use our senses again through the connection with nature. Although The Empress is dressed in elegant clothes, she has not lost touch with her natural surroundings and knows how to use the energies of nature for herself.

In front of the woman sprouts fresh and golden wheat, symbolizing abundance and vitality. It is ripe for harvest and will be able to nourish many people.

This image shows that Mother Earth provides us with all the necessities for survival in abundance. By being mindful and respectful of nature’s resources, they can give us a long and fulfilling life.

Upright Empress Tarot Card Meaning

The Empress Tarot card represents the feminine side that is in all of us. It is characterized by great care for others, sensuality, fertility and creativity.

Whether man or woman in each of us are female parts, which are more or less pronounced. Let these parts unfold freely and feel the energization and fulfillment that emanate from them.

The time is ripe to help your creativity find new expression. For example, take up a hobby in the artistic field. The need for caring can also be strong within us. It is characterized by how you can help others, for example, in your neighborhood or at work.

The Empress also symbolizes abundance and plenty surrounding you right now. Enjoy this phase of prosperity and try to experience it with all your senses. Abundance does not always mean material prosperity.

The Empress Tarot card encourages us to look at the immaterial wealth that surrounds us, like relationships with valuable fellow human beings, nature in its beauty or the joy of art.

Do not let this wealth simply pass you by, but use it to sensitize and develop your senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling. Thereby, you will be able to perceive your environment more consciously and enjoy it more intensively.

The connection to nature is also an important message of the Tarot card of The Empress. Especially in modern times, we are losing more and more contact with nature, the source of all life.

The Empress encourages us to go out again and perceive nature with all our senses. A regular walk in the woods or working in the garden can already be suitable for this. Through this experienced connection with Mother Earth, new ideas and perspectives arise for you again.

At the same time, nature is a place where you can relax and recharge your batteries. It helps you to cope with the hectic pace of everyday life.

Reversed Empress  Tarot Card Meaning

Reversed Empress  Tarot Card Meaning

If the The Empress ReversedTarot card appears, it can indicate a blockage in spiritual and emotional areas. Through this blockage, you are hardly able to perceive your environment but remain in your inner world.

Creativity and feelings also arise from contact with our environment. If this contact is blocked, like by a challenging life event, we experience a slackening of our emotional life and a drying up of our creative source.

Face these blockages and possibly get help to get them out of the way. Once access to your environment is reopened, you will naturally reconnect with it.

The Empress Reversed can indicate that envy and resentment are present in your environment. Because of the prosperity that surrounds you and that you are enjoying right now, other people get the impression that they do not have enough and thus get caught up in negative feelings.

On the one hand, don’t let this stop you from enjoying your life. You have earned it. On the other hand, don’t brag too much about the prosperity you’ve achieved and turn your fellow human beings against you.

The feeling of envy and resentment can also affect you. Instead of brooding about how much other people have, focus on the intangible things you have and that enrich your life, like relationships/friendships or culture.

The Empress Reversed is also a sign of dependence in your life. This dependence can be related to material things. Of course, it is nice to own a new car and enjoy this luxury.

But if your precious time is only used to buy or maintain expensive luxuries, you miss out on the important things that money can’t buy, like friendship or love.

Dependence can also exist on a special person or work. Become aware of such dependencies and try to take your life into your own hands again and go your way independently.

Reversed Empress Tarot Love Meaning

Single

When you are single, The Empress Reversed indicates that your efforts at finding a new partner are having a little effect right now.

You may have a mental block that prevents you from relating emotionally to someone else. As a result, your behavior often seems cold and dismissive, both characteristics that are not exactly conducive to dating.

First of all, try to dissolve your mental blocks and postpone the search for love for a while. The Empress Reversed is also an expression of envy and resentment, which are very dominant in your emotional life right now.

That envy usually refers to other people living in seemingly harmonious relationships. Don’t get carried away by these negative feelings, but instead focus on what you can do yourself to maintain a harmonious relationship.

Relationship

The Empress Reversed Tarot card indicates in a relationship that you are very dependent on your partner at the moment. Thereby you put your own needs under those of your partner, which can become an enormous burden in the partnership in the long run.

Think about your own wishes and dare to assert them more actively in your partnership. The Empress Reversed shows you that your relationship is very cool and almost only takes place on a material level.

Many relationships experience a phase of hypothermia over time, especially when both partners hardly see each other in everyday life.

But a relationship does not only consist of a shared house or two cars. It lives from shared experiences and intense feelings for each other. Take more time for your partner and let your feelings for each other flare up again before they finally go out.

Reversed Empress Health Meaning

If The Empress Reversed appears in a tarot reading, it is a sign of mental or physical blockages that harm your health. Only if you manage to remove such barriers, your energy streams will be able to flow freely again and cleanse your body and mind.

In addition, the Empress Reversed Tarot card shows that you are becoming too dependent on advisors or alleged “miracle cures”.

The most effective healing powers come from within yourself when you manage to get back in touch with your inner source. Beware of envy and resentment because these qualities have a tremendous destructive power that negatively affects your health.

Reversed Empress Career Meaning

For your career, The Empress Reversed reveals that you are stagnating on your current rung of the career ladder. Your mental blocks, such as “I can’t do it anyway, I’m too afraid of more responsibility.” prevent you from fully developing your potential.

Only if you trust yourself more and develop confidence in your strengths, you can dare to take on new professional challenges with a clear conscience.

Some of your colleagues envy your current job position and will try to act against you behind your back. Don’t let this upset you. Use your knowledge of human nature and empathy to get allies on your side and confront your envious ones.

Reversed Empress Finances/Money Meaning

The Empress Reversed admonishes you to question your relationship to money and material possessions. If your happiness depends only on how much money or treasure you possess, you will constantly live in fear that this wealth can be taken away from you again.

True happiness cannot be bought with money alone but comes from living in harmony with our environment. Furthermore, The Empress Reversed warns you against those who envy your prosperity.

Some people only pretend to be friends with you to ask you for monetary favors again and again. Be aware that you will never see the borrowed money again and ask yourself if such one-sided relationships should not rather end.

Reversed Empress Destiny Meaning

If you draw the Empress Reversed for your destiny, it means that inner blockages are preventing you from unfolding your true potential.

Free yourself piece by piece from your mental blockages. That way, your dreams and desires will fall on fertile ground, where they can grow and flourish.

Reversed Empress Personality

The Empress reversed indicates a dependent character. In this case you make yourself dependant on other people, who then make important decisions for you.

At the same time, this card reveals an envious type of person. Such a character always looks at what the people around him have that he does not. This person often overlooks his own inner riches.

Reversed Empress Tarot Past/Future

Past

A past event blocks you internally. You have to deal with your past once again in order to dissolve this blockage.

Envy of a person has been bothering you for many years. Look ahead rather than opening up old wounds.

Future

Soon you will face an icy wind. The person will relatively unexpectedly put your relationship on hold for the time being.

Do not make your future dependent on other people. You are the creator of your destiny and should shape it in a self-determined way.

Reversed Empress Tarot Card – Yes or No

An enormous inner blockage signals you very strongly a no. Something in you resists your decision in such a way that you get a bad feeling every time you ask yourself your question.

Do not fight against your inner processes, but accept them as a sign that the time is not yet ripe for a yes.
