The Empress

Upright

The Empress is a good mother. Fruitful, benevolent, loving and caring. A person of station who must be reckoned with. While she may not be the genesis of things, she nurtures and grows them. When seeking answers about one's self, the card may indicate motherly worries about people or projects. It may raise the question of too much mothering or overprotectiveness. It may also be a reminder to the seeker that patience and persistence are necessary when nurturing growth.

Reversed

The opposite of nurturing and caring. Disregard for others. Abandonment of those who need care. Perhaps an indication to learn to be a better nurturer or caretaker.
