The Empress Tarot Card Meaning

What does The Empress Tarot card mean?


Did you know, there’s a card that’s often overlooked?


Some Major Arcana cards get all the attention…


The Devil and the Tower have a huge shock factor. The High Priestess and The Hermit can indicate a huge change in identity. 


But there’s no shock factor with this one…


This is a card of manifestation. And because it’s a Major Arcana card, it’s a big energy to work with.


The Empress Is Magical


The Empress represents manifestation but in a different way to The Magician. She has a beautiful, motherly energy. She nurtures, protects and celebrates your creations. 


The Empress is the embodiment of abundance and beauty, created from within. This abundance and beauty pours out from you into the world. 


If The Empress shows up for you in a tarot reading, it’s an invitation to enhance the richness in your life. 


The Empress Represents Abundance And Beauty


What can you do to activate that energy?


  • Notice where beauty already exists around you

  • Notice the abundance already present in your life


Beauty isn’t about looks. Beauty can be present in your friendships, your home, and the environment around you. Perhaps you are lucky enough to see the sun rise or set every day. Perhaps you can rearrange your home to make it more beautiful. Train yourself to see the beauty in everything.


Abundance isn’t just about money. Like beauty, abundance exists in nature - the leaves on a tree, the stars in the sky, the living creatures all around you. Abundance is present in other places too. Perhaps a friend bought you a coffee today. Perhaps you have a surplus of something and can give it away. Train yourself to notice abundance everywhere too. 


The Empress Helps You Create


Think of your life as a beautiful garden. The Empress is tending to your garden. She is watering the flowers, planting new seeds and nurturing the whole area until it becomes a place of abundant beauty.


When The Empress shows up, she’s telling you it’s time to become her and embody this garden.


  • Is there a creative project you can make a start on?

  • Is there a relationship you can nurture and grow?

  • Can you breathe new life into your home, your workplace, your mind?


If The Empress has shown up in a reading recently, it’s the perfect time to start pondering the above questions. 


What will you nurture this year?
