The Empress
The Empress symbolizes nurturing abundance, generosity, and the satisfaction of natural desires through careful cultivation and mindful stewardship. She provides comfort and support while others conceive and plan. Reversed, the card warns you to reassess priorities and address neglected essentials of your happiness. Well-intentioned care can become smothering or overbearing, and the image of overwatering plants illustrates how excessive attention can cause harm.
