3. The Empress
Upright
The Empress card symbolizes the life force nurtured by feminine energy, and is often associated with abundance, harvest, and new life. This can refer to literal pregnancy and childbirth, or metaphorically to the growth of creative projects or business ventures. The upright Empress typically represents a positive signal—if you’re considering starting a new project or seeking creative inspiration, now may be an ideal time to take action.
Reversed
The reversed Empress may indicate an area in life where there is overdependence, neglect of self-care, or an unhealthy reliance within relationships. You may be growing impatient or lax about things like raising your beagle, leading to a lack of attention. Therefore, the reversed Empress may also suggest that you need to reignite the passion between you and your beagle—perhaps it’s time to clear out issues that are hindering the beagle’s growth.
