"The Empress" is the III Major Arcana in the classic Rider White Tarot deck. Other names for the card are "Mistress", "Isis", "Mistress", "Patron". The arcana is favored by the planet Venus, which is in the sign of Taurus, which is a symbol of fertility and creative power.

Description of the lasso

The "Empress" sits on a throne in an imposing pose among a flowering garden with rich vegetation. A fast and clean river flows nearby, everything around indicates abundance and fertility. Her head is crowned with a crown with 12 stones, symbolizing the signs of the zodiac.

In some Tarots there is a different symbolism: "The Mistress" sits on a richly decorated throne in the hall of a stone castle, where the stone symbolizes greatness, constancy and reliability. In her hands she holds ears of corn and an orb - symbols of fertility and power.

There are decks where the "Empress" is depicted as carrying a child under her heart, which indicates rebirth andfertility.

Sometimes the authors of the Tarot "Lady" are depicted as a formidable woman driving a chariot drawn by lions. Wings are spread behind her back, which indicates the demonic personality.

Each school of Tarot sees in this Arcana a unique image that affects the interpretation of the cards.

Direct card

The "Empress" that fell out in the upright position portends a fruitful time full of positive events. This is a favorable card, and the questioner should rejoice at its presence in the layout.

The dropped "Empress" heralds the beginning of fateful changes. What character they will be, they usually help to understand the nearby cards of the Minor Arcana. The card promises stability and prosperity, the likelihood of marriage and conception.

If we take the time frame, then this Arcana never indicates an instant resolution of the situation. When it falls in the scenario for the present, it can be concluded that the expected events will occur after three months.

If a forecast is made for the near future, then the predicted situations should be expected in a year or closer to this date.

Meaning of the inverted Arcana

In reversed form or in combination with the Tarot "Empress" with negative cards Arcanum means a stop in development, improper energy consumption, impotence.

The card also indicates cunning, selfishness, promiscuity, infidelity in characterperson. The "Empress" Tarot in combination with other cards (inverted) can mean a despotic mother or an empty nest syndrome - a lonely woman has no one to take care of anymore, she has started the household and at the same time herself.

Arkan does not portend any adverse events, rather, it is just a hint to understand what mistakes were made. In combination with other Tarot cards, "The Empress" allows you to understand how you can fix the situation.

Personal characteristic

In personal terms, the "Empress" is a mother, a married woman, a wife, an older sister, an adult daughter, an influential lady, a benevolent person who plays a big role in the life of the questioner - this is his loving patroness.

The hostess always knows what is best to do, does it herself or gives instructions. She is regal, authoritative, but at the same time feminine and soft. This is a creative nature with great life experience. The Empress gladly shares her ideas and wisdom with those around her. You can safely count on her advice and help.

She is the standard of motherhood and an excellent hostess. She brings up children with great attention and care, can create comfort even when she is constrained by means.

Inverted "Empress" indicates a woman for whom she herself comes first. We are not talking about caring here: all her energy is aimed at achieving her own well-being, she strives to get what she wants at any cost, without worrying about others at all.

In her character is dominated by bitchiness, hysteria and a penchant for carnal pleasures - this is the reverse side of love. Means a woman engaged in prostitution.

In an inverted form, Arkan characterizes a woman abandoned, rejected and insulted by a man, the inability to have children, the danger of miscarriage in the presence of pregnancy. The interpretation will depend on the combination of the "Empress" with other cards.

Love alignment

"The Empress" in the layout of personal relationships is a favorable card. It means that everything is fine in matters of the heart, or it promises a positive development of relations in the near future.

"Empress" - a symbol of motherhood, pleasure, sexuality. If at present everything is unfavorable on the love front, then Arkan promises an improvement in the situation or a change of partner.

Arkan indicates the leadership of a woman in a relationship with a man: she is demanding and practical, in this union a man is always led. A woman in these relationships not only dominates and leads, the Empress takes responsibility for loved ones, envelops the family with tenderness, attention and care.

An inverted love card also indicates the leadership of a woman, only in this case it is aggressive and overwhelming. The whole dark side of the female essence falls on the man - hysteria, the demand for attention, jealousy, capriciousness. Marrying such a woman will be fraught with great emotional stress, children are undesirable for her and are a burden.

He alth

Given that the "Empress" means development, change, growth, then in the human body it also indicates some changes. In the upright position, these changes have a positive meaning: a period of recovery or rehabilitation after an illness, an increase in vitality, longevity. Children - a good development of the body, and young women - a safe pregnancy.

In the inverted position, the "Empress" also indicates the growth, but already pathological processes that are life-threatening. This may be the appearance of malignant tumors or the growth of existing ones.

In this situation, you need to put an additional card next to it. The Empress in a combination of Major Arcana Tarot cards will give clearer information.

If the card "Devil" or "The Hanged Man" is nearby, this means a malignant degeneration of the tumor or the inability to have a child due to an infection of the genitourinary system.

When the Arcana "Tower" or "Death" falls out, we can talk about a miscarriage or a deliberate abortion.

Profession and finance

No matter what professional activity the questioner is engaged in, the "Empress" that falls in the scenario for career or finance promises him an energy boost and an abundance of creative ideas.

Representatives of creative professions will feel an incredible desire to create and bring to life their wildest emotions and fantasies. "Empress" promises the creation of masterpieces, ingenious discoveries andinventions. People working in other areas are expected to be promoted, improve working conditions or receive bonuses and compensation.

For businessmen, this is a good period for expanding business, signing lucrative contracts. The card in this case indicates a wise woman whose advice you need to heed.

In an inverted position, Arkan portends stagnation in business, a creative crisis, a worsening financial situation. The meaning of the card can be interpreted as advice - it is worth stopping and waiting out the unfavorable time.

Situation alignment

If, in the scenario of a certain situation, the "Empress" falls out to a man, then this indicates that some woman (mother, wife or boss) influences his life. The nature of the impact can be judged in the Tarot layout by the combination of the "Empress" with neighboring cards.

For a woman, in the scenario for a given situation, Arkan is an indicator that she herself is the mistress of the situation, she just has to wait for the right moment.

Direct "Empress" promises the birth of a child, the acquisition of property, a major purchase, a long-awaited trip.

In an inverted position, portends external unfavorable circumstances, independent of the questioner, but capable of affecting his fate.
