The Empress embodies the Divine Mother, the nurturing, life-supporting energy that nourishes the planet and all beings on it. She makes the crops grow, and our dreams blossom. She encourages us to live through our senses, to enjoy the sensual pleasures of being human, and to embody our god/goddess nature. Often depicted as a pregnant woman, she appears when we are pregnant with ourselves, filled with our creative potential, and about to birth magic into the world. She teaches us to embrace physical life in all its messiness and majesty and to remember that just as the fields are planted and harvested, there are cycles in life. There are times when we are blooming and times when we are fallow. Channel the Empress and plant your seeds, trusting that the rain and sun — your passion and dedication — will bring your ideas to fruition
