Brigid Bishop’s Tarot Thought for the Day
I enjoy the energy and sheer power of this card and I am so happy that it is coming up as our pick for the day as it bodes well for all of us in the essence of its pure feminine energy.The Empress. Think about the title. If you are a female, imagine how it would feel to be an Empress.
Feel the POWER! Do you feel that it is your duty to nurture those you are responsible for? Do you feel gracious and noble? Contemplate how you would feel if you, yourself, were an Empress.The Empress vibrates to the number three, the number three symbolic of having made a successful start and beginning the work that is at hand. She is Venus, the Goddess of Love, symbolic of femininity, sexuality, pleasure, creativity, union and fertility.
She is ruled by the planet Venus, who in turn rules the zodiac signs of Taurus and Libra, the sensual earth signs.
She is associated with Daleth, which means a door, and also relates to the planet Venus.When The Empress appears in a spread she can represent an individual, a mother (usually), or also the onset of a marriage or serious relationship. She is fertile, and guards her upcoming harvest with all of her feminine powers. She is all that represents the power of the female and the pleasures inherent to the female gender.Think of the qualities of Mother Nature in regard to interpreting The Empress. She can represent a specific individual or the feminine characteristics stated above becoming active within the querent themselves.Since The Empress is associated with fertility, it can be assumed that her appearance in a spread denotes a relationship that is physical in nature.Bring out The Empress within today and take control of your surroundings!
