Tarot Card Meaning: The Empress

The Empress in a Tarot Card Reading

The Empress rules nature and everything which is sensual and primaly natural to us. Our senses, our way of being, our wants and needs. Food, and comfort, and sex. She is the queen of eveyrthing that loves and gives unconditionally. She nurtures and grows like a loving mother, she cares and comforts as a dutiful wife. But, she is also very aware of her power simply existing, for all eternity, and being so strong as it can be, very unexpectedly.

The Empress is associated with the planet Venus, this means that the qualities of the planet are embodied in the archtype of the card that correspond to it.
