I love all of your insight
A comment about the valley. The valley is the sercurity that she provides. I think of this as her role as a mother. She has set up boundries within which the children are free . She is there if they need her, but she knows enough to let them come to her rather than interfereing in their discovery. She has everything they need, but lets them decide when they need it.
This is by far my favorite card.
I don't think we can look at the empress without balancing her role with that of the emperor. While she sets boundries and lets her children run free within them, the Emperor shows what is beyond the boundries, but sets rigid guidelines for the child to follow to protect him from what lies beyond. He takes an active role in the child's behavior, where as the empress is more passive.
