Summary of the Empress card in the Tarot de Marseille

The Empress will speak of a person who acts with discernment. She is an intelligent person, endowed with great intuition, and with a high sense of observation.

He will often be an educated person, but this Instruction can take many forms. His knowledge and intelligence can also be built up through his life experience.

It will generally be a female character, but she can also represent the anima in a man and all the qualities he needs to develop to be more whole and more in connection with his deepest being.

It will also be a question of wealth in some cases, but in the sense of abundance. Finally, the Empress will often be a person full of inner and/or outer elegance and charm.

A good book to understand the associations of the cards with each other and the book "Le Tarot au quotidien" by Colette Silvestre. It allows to understand from a logical and intuitive point of view the associations of the cards between them in the 3 main areas, material, professional and sentimental. A good guide to understand card reading by association.

The Empress is pulled upside down:

The Empress in reverse will speak of loss of power or influence in a situation. It will often characterize an inner malaise. But it will usually be a loss of emotional power.

That is to say rather of loss of influence on a situation or on a person but always in the relational or emotional field. She may also talk about emotional dependence or too many emotions blocking communication and relationships with others. With the drawing of the arcane upside down all the attributes of the Empress are reversed.

The Empress can become a pretty bad card when drawn backwards. But to interpret it in this sense, you will have to take precautions and look for confirmations in the other cards of the deck so that you do not misinterpret your draw.

In extreme cases, you can expect malice.

For example, a person (often a woman) using subterfuge. A person using hurtful, rather untrue words. Conversely, you may see a person using vain coquetries. It could also be a person prone to despotism. On the other hand, you may see a person who is very slow in his actions and decisions.

The Empress upside down, a difficult woman...

The supreme intelligence attribute of the arcana becomes superficiality, ignorance, even stupidity.
It often announces countered actions, setbacks, failures.

The inverted position of the Tarot Empress card will speak of unfulfilled emotional need. Or about not taking into account one's own emotional needs.

She may also show a person who is undecided about her relationships with others or the direction she wants to take her relationships (as in an emotional relationship for example). You should look for the cause of this lack of harmony in yourself and not in others. This will be a sign that it may be necessary to do some introspection sessions to better understand what is happening in you or to meditate with the Empress to better understand her message and see what is happening in you.

The emotional side of the Empress

In a drawing concerning an emotional relationship, the Empress upside down will indicate that you are unable to express your feelings in all sincerity. You hold back your thoughts and the expression of her last ones.

It is difficult for you to express your feelings. You may feel stifled in a relationship. It may be helpful to confide in someone if you have the opportunity. This would allow you to share your feelings with someone who can understand them. This simple action would allow you to reconnect with your inner self.

The upside-down Empress card may also suggest a form of dependence on others. For example, you play roles and act according to the reactions of others, or of your life partner.

You do not feel free to express your feelings and emotions. Meditation may help you to understand how to release and express yourself with confidence.

Do not overprotect!

Another facet of the Empress, on the other hand, could be overprotection. This leads to suffocation. For example, you are overly protective of your child. Without meaning to, you suffocate it with love and do not let it develop. But this can also happen with your life partner, friends or family. You must then listen to the Empress carefully. But here again, remain receptive to the message of the Empress without going too far. Thus, listening first and then acting is a good thing. To help you, you can make the calm and emptiness within you to hear your inner voice.

To redesign your life, connect to the divine source, meditate with the Empress' card.

Taking another look at the emotional realm

More generally, the Empress' card in the Reverse Tarot deck may indicate that you are not feeling well emotionally. She may say that you don't feel at ease with yourself or that there is something missing in your life that you can't identify.

You may need to invest yourself in something else in your life in order to blossom. This may come through the desire to create, or the need to reorganize your life in a different way.

If you are unable to thrive in an emotional relationship, you may need to regain your self-confidence.

In fact, there is no need to think or to make the mind work. It is a matter of acting according to what you feel deep down inside. Like a call from the depths. It is this desire, this voice that it makes you listen if you feel the need to change something in your life.

In other circumstances, the Tarot Empress' card may speak of blockages, certainly emotional, but also in the creative realm. This could be, for example, blockages for people who write or that you are unable to advance in your work or in your professional life due to a lack of ideas.

The Empress may also show a person who is depressed, moody, without desire, may be in the middle of an emotional storm and no longer knows where to go. A too strong hold of the mind that disconnects from the emotional part and does not leave any more the leisure to understand the internal potential.

Summary and Synthesis of the Tarot Empress Card :

The Empress is associated with the number III (symbolism of numbers), a number attributed to the creative intelligence since it is composed of 2+1 which is the fertile power. It symbolizes, therefore, the fertile power of actions, projects and matter.

You pull the cards by thinking of one person in particular:

In the professional field:
You must flatter her to gain her trust. If the card comes out upside down, she will be a person you must be wary of, because she will take advantage of your missteps. The Empress of the Tarot is a good counsellor. She knows how to make contacts and is very good at her job. She is a person of success, you will be able with her to carry out a professional project, and succeed in what you have undertaken thanks to her help. On a more negative side, the Empress could be a somewhat tyrannical person that you see at work, a difficult colleague or a demanding and tyrannical hierarchy.
In the sentimental field:
She is an open-minded, intelligent person, full of charm. She has excellent qualities as a mediator. She is a person who likes to be flattered, but who unfortunately often remains superficial.
The Empress represents the woman in all that is most beautiful and attractive par excellence. If you are a man, you meet an extraordinary woman. If you are a woman, the Empress can represent you as well. She can also be a close person who can be a friend with wonderful qualities. The Empress of the Tarot represents a relationship, success in love, seduction... self-confidence...
In the financial field :
Watch out for his overly interested side. You'll only do business with her if it's to her advantage...

Colours of the Empress

The blue colour (symbolism of colours) dominant in the arcana informs us that this is a rather passive character, blue is nevertheless tempered by the red (symbolism of colours) of the crown and the dress. He is not a totally passive character.

This passivity, this inaction is only appearance, in fact it is overflowing with energy but this energy is concentrated on the legs (red). This tells us about the untapped potential of the character.

Her hair is white (symbolism of colours). They are free, they are not tied up, which is a bit surprising for her rank. The untied hair shows the power of seduction and the freedom that the Empress claims from the Emperor. Thus we can conclude that she is not constrained in any way and that she is free.
