Bat Chicken
There is definitely a change in the theme of the cards here. The Empress has a human face.

Continuing with the theme that each card has an element of the next, the Empress wears the alchemical King's red rose around her neck. This and the apples are red in a card surrounded by the full bloom of summer green.
Red and green are complementary colours. In art, red is a strong colour to be used with care or overwhelm a work. The red and green are in full complementary balance.
Harvest is in the collection of apples (Eve's apple?) and the child that she carries on her back.
I find the child carrier - the wrap is interesting. The pattern repeating looks like the sun contained in a house. A single red line sits on the left of the disk. I am sure there is something symbolic there....
The Empress wears a wedding ring!
