III. THE EMPRESS

A plump mother cat wearing a crown sits amidst wheat. The Empress card represents harvest, fertility, high productivity, blessings, and a natural, relaxed atmosphere. Thus, the Empress is proud, joyful, affluent, and close to nature. She also embodies a mother's duty to nurture offspring, provide ample food, and even the responsibilities of the Earth Goddess to ensure smooth childbirth for women, good harvests, fair weather, and peace. It symbolizes children, creations, or pets. Reversed, the Empress indicates issues with this protection, hindering reproduction.
