The Empress Tarot Card Meaning
The Empress Introduction
A woman dressed in plump clothes is sitting in a chair wearing a star crown.
The background is a field that seems to have a good harvest, and behind it are trees and valleys full of leaves.
The chair against this background is a very comfortable cushion, so there’s a little bit of a sense of alienation.

The Empress Description
“Our Mother” in The Empress Tarot Card Meaning
Just looking at the tarot card image, it is full of rich energy.
There is a good harvest underfoot, full of wheat, and the river meanders, making the surrounding plants fertile, creating a lake. The tree you see behind The Empress is lush with leaves, and it couldn’t. And so she represents natural power and vitality, and she represents productivity and abundance.
And this is represented once again by the rich drapery that the empress is wearing. Like you’re pregnant.
“a pomegranate symbol of ability” in The Empress Tarot Card Meaning
A pomegranate with many seeds in its shell. This means fertility, and at the same time symbolizes pregnancy, and ability.
The empress can only go up if she marries the king, but basically the marriage will take place if the empress’ family and background are good. That means that The Empress herself is outstanding.
In comparison, the card to consider is II. The High Priestess.
It is a position that can be obtained through acquired efforts, just as The Empress must be naturally competent to rise, and The Priestess must pass the judicial examination to become a judge.
So you can see that The Empress is completely dressed in pomegranate, and The Empress has pomegranate on the back veil.
I’ll embrace you as a mother
“I’m going to sleep” in The Empress Tarot Card Meaning
Remember these two things.
First, The Empress is a position that can only be obtained by marrying a king. Second, she is pregnant women.
The Empress has her own ability, but she doesn’t have the right to decide. Whatever she do, she needs the emperor’s permission.
Furthermore, being pregnant, the Empress is prone to becoming lethargic. This is not a deliberate choice to be lazy, but rather due to the inability to control one’s body well during pregnancy, leading to a decrease in energy and physical activity.
So it’s good for The Empress to have a helper around her.
