Revisiting Tarot Card Meanings

The Empress


  • realization of personal projects
  • comfort
  • St. Adelaide of Italy
  • Joan I of Navarre
  • unintended repercussions of plans coming to fruition
  • external forces at play
  • relevance of numbers 3 and 6

The Empress Reversed

  • bareness or difficulties conceiving / birthing
  • must be resourceful to succeed
  • missing earth element

I tend to view the Empress more as a figure of empowerment, and in reverse, a woman disempowered. I do not really take the earth association into account.
