This is all very welcome. I was little concerned because The Empress keeps coming up lately in readings that I'm doing for myself pertaining to changing situations, finding new paths for myself, etc. I'm not a particularly motherly, lovey person, so the thought of a possible future in this vein was a little alarming to me.
But, it began to occurr to me that perhaps, for me, The Empress meant bringing an idea to fruition, which seems very reasonable given my present circumstances. But I was concerned that I was just rationalizing things. It's good to know that there might be other possibilities of meaning.
