 The
Empress
III -- The well-dressed, affluent women who appears
to be pregnant, the Empress card indicates fruit from
our labors. Here we see the seeds we have sown in
life coming back to us in three-fold. This card can
indicate business success. It can also indicate favors
from others. Realizing that when you receive these
favors it is because of the good you have done or
produced in the past. It is not easy to say that deeds
will come from someone who owes you, but more likely
these deeds will come through random means. That can
be the beauty of it.
It does indicate a time when you are feeling good
about yourself and the way things are going in your
life at that time. It is again a card that represents
“the fruits of our labor. “ This can be
a wonderful card if money has been tight. It indicates
money is coming in better and that we are happy with
what we are getting or making financially. For some
it can indicate a time when you feel good about yourself,
when you are attractive to others. Certainly it can
be beneficial for self-confidence.
The woman on the card is indeed pregnant, representing
a time of anticipation of good things. So in meditation,
this card represents getting back or reaping what
it is we deserve. A great card for those who want
to get more business or expand themselves in any way.
This card is great for attracting attention, whether
for business or personal reasons.
This card indicates attractiveness; therefore those
who do not feel good about themselves will find this
card useful. The card also reminds us of how life
is a cycle and what you do in life does come back
to you, one way or the other.
In the reversed position, this card indicates the
opposite. There is a feeling of desolation or hopelessness.
Feelings of wanting to give up on something are common
in the reverse position. This card can indicate that
you are in some kind of trial in your life and you
are not able to know how it can work out. In some
cases, it can turn around and the cards will indicate
that. In others it is an indication of giving up on
something that is indeed going nowhere. Check the
rest of the cards in the lay to see which one applies.
After
faith (Fool), you use your talents (Magician), and
what comes from the fruits of that labor can be seen
through the Empress.
