Card 3

The Empress

Brief Description

The Empress embodies love and creative energy that bring beauty and abundance into the world. When mind, body, and spirit are aligned, warmth and inspiration spread outward and foster new growth. Creative projects and relationships will flourish only when sown in appropriate conditions and tended with patience and care. Balance is essential: recognize when you have given enough and when it is wiser to prune rather than continue pouring energy into something.

Meaning

Harnessing her love and creative energies, the Empress brings forth beauty into the world. Her mind, body, and spirit are fully in tune; her warmth and inspiration spread out, take root in the ground, and send out an abundance of new growth. Miracles of natural beauty spring forth from the smallest seeds of thought and affection, but they will only grow if they are planted in fertile soil and cared for with love and patience. A maple tree will not grow in the desert, and a cactus will not thrive in the Arctic. You must observe the conditions and carefully choose which seeds to plant. It is also possible to give too much of yourself, and it is important to recognize when you have given enough. Perhaps the time for the watering can has passed and it is time to do some pruning instead.

Visual Description

At the top a Roman numeral III sits against a green treetop sky. In the center a framed scene shows a crowned woman kneeling on the ground, clutching a small golden cup, her head crowned with stars. Beneath the frame a pale stalk extends down into a tangle of white roots set against a black field. The bottom margin bears the printed title THE EMPRESS.
