Wrapped up in a natural setting, The Empress is the personification of fertile earth, the senses, and diffusing oneself into creative pursuits that envelope the essence of “being.” She’s an individual full of feminine strength, sensuality, and a strong love for relationships. Being that she is the third card of the Major Arcana, her presence and placement suggest that The Empress puts a strong emphasis on groups. This is why she most often appears for those with a nurturing side, who may soon become a parent or know someone who is currently with child.

Her main message, however, is self-expression. Artists of any sort will value her appearance, for they are about to feel a motivating, creative surge. To receive that wealth of creativity, ideas, and compassion, you’re asked to give to others some love. Furthermore, you need to connect not only to others but to the natural world and its rhythms.
