World Spirit Tarot Empress
First Impressions : Waterfall represents feminity and receptivity and emotions. Yellow/Gold bird (7 brds total) makes me think of a Sun Conure which is light and love and joy to me. There are purple flowers at the top .. five, three, four. She is reclining on what I know as a Cleopatra couch or fainting couch or chaise lounge. A crook in in one hand. She is a shepardess? She is staring with cat-like intensity at me. In her right hand she holds a lotus. Might be pregnant, but definitely zaftig beauty. There are scales in front of her and what looks like an avocado lies halved in front. Ah! There is the flail. It is lying on the ground. So the symbols of Isis (the crook and the flail) are hers as well, but she chooses the crook over the flail. Large bowl of fruit is there as well. AN apple has fallen out. She appears to be on a rug of leopard sin. In the tree over her, a snake coils around the low-hanging limb to look at her. Cattails are at the edge of the pond with the waterfall and there is a dragonfly if you look closely.
She is all about fertility and abundance!

A voluptuous queen reclines in the shade of a flowering tree, wearing her starry crown. She holds an Egyptian crook, the emblem of her role as shepherdess of the people. Around her are symbols of fecundity and authority: a flowering lotus, ripening fruit, scales and a flail.
The Empress is the Earth Mother, who creates and sustains life. Prolific and generous, she is the great provider. She pours forth riches from her body, the fruits and grains and greens of the earth, symbols of her deep love. She governs all things relating to motherhood: conception, gestation, birthing, and sustaining a child or other creative endeavor. She possesses an incredibly magnetism that draws everyone to her, especially animals and children, who instinctively trust her maternal spirit.
The Empress reminds us of the magic and wonder of our own bodies, and the miracle that we, like her, have the capacity to give forth and nurture life. Her power lies in her reverence for the physical world. She loves nature, and delights in indulging her senses.
Her sensuality encompasses both the gentle intimacy of mothering and the fiery passions of a lover; either way, the Empress lives her life through love. She needs to share herself to be herself. Her generosity is so boundless that it can be overwhelming, and her unceasing proliferation can at times generate chaos.
In a reading the Empress calls on you to love and care for yourself, body and soul. Follow your emotions and listen to your instincts. She also asks you to embody her qualities of nurturance, and give something of your own glory to the world.
