In traditional Rider-Waite Tarot, The Empress is one of the Major Arcana cards which focus on the life journey of spiritual growth. Specifically, The Empress represents the divine feminine, motherhood, fertility, and abundance. She carries a nurturing energy and embodies the archetype of Mother Earth. The Empress encourages creativity, self love, connecting with the pleasures of nature and the deep fulfillment of slowing down and enjoying sensory experiences, periods of lush growth, and abundance.
