Tarot Card Meanings - The Empress

[christopher dale]

The Empress is the fourth card of the Major Arcana, actually
designated as III because The Fool is designated as card zero. If you
want to know the meaning of The Empress in both the normal and
reversed key, this article will give you some enlightenment.
The Empress, unlike The High Priestess, is a very active card. The
basic meaning of this card is one of growth, prosperity and fertility.
This card is one of the most sought after cards in a spread for women
who are looking to start a family, workers looking for promotions at
work and businessmen looking to take their business to the next level.
This card is especially significant in the fifth and sixth positions.
This card, however, is more than just the promise of these things. It
can also mean that the seeds that you've planted have taken root and
now it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labors. However, don't go
overboard, as overindulgence can lead to problems down the road.
The surprising thing about this card is that in many cases, the
rewards and gains are much greater than the subject anticipated. This
card will frequently come up in cases where people are about to win
the lottery, or in the fourth position where they may have just
recently won the lottery. Sadly, in many of these readings, the future
cards show recklessness and loss....
