The Empress
The Empress embodies matronly authority and nurturing care, overseeing her realm with exacting order while revealing a softer side to those who understand her intentions. Upright, she signifies a strong leader and maternal dominance, combining firmness with concealed tenderness and the wisdom of maturity. Reversed, she warns of weak or neglectful leadership, an inability to maintain order, and setting a poor example for others. The card advises balancing authority with compassion and attending to responsibilities to avoid either overbearing control or careless neglect.

Visual Description
A crowned, corpulent woman stands in a flowing purple gown with a gold sash, one hand on her hip and the other raised holding a slender cigarette from which smoke curls upward. Her face is rendered as two-toned profiles fused together, and a stylized eye is drawn on her exposed belly. A fanciful bird on a leash stands beside her, and behind her a field of flowers rises toward a pale moon and scattered stars. The card border shows the Roman numeral III at the top and the title THE EMPRESS at the bottom.
