Η Αυτοκράτειρα
Όρθια σημασία
Ανάπτυξη, δημιουργικότητα και φροντίδα που επιτρέπει σε κάτι να ανθίσει. Συνδέεται με τη θρέψη, την άνεση και την αφθονία.
Για να το σκεφτείς
Αυτό που προσπαθείς να μεγαλώσεις χρειάζεται φροντίδα που μπορείς να συνεχίσεις να δίνεις. Κάνε χώρο για ξεκούραση, τροφή, τρυφερότητα ή δημιουργία πριν απαιτήσεις περισσότερα από τον εαυτό σου.

Waite: the card
A stately figure, seated, having rich vestments and royal aspect, as of a daughter of heaven and earth. Her diadem is of twelve stars, gathered in a cluster. The symbol of Venus is on the shield which rests near her. A field of corn is ripening in front of her, and beyond there is a fall of water. The sceptre which she bears is surmounted by the globe of this world. She is the inferior Garden of Eden, the Earthly Paradise, all that is symbolized by the visible house of man. She is not Regina coeli, but she is still refugium peccatorum, the fruitful mother of thousands. There are also certain aspects in which she has been correctly described as desire and the wings thereof, as the woman clothed with the sun, as Gloria Mundi and the veil of the Sanctum Sanctorum; but she is not, I may add, the soul that has attained wings, unless all the symbolism is counted up another and unusual way. She is above all things universal fecundity and the outer sense of the Word. This is obvious, because there is no direct message which has been given to man like that which is borne by woman; but she does not herself carry its interpretation. In another order of ideas, the card of the Empress signifies the door or gate by which an entrance is obtained into this life, as into the Garden of Venus; and then the way which leads out therefrom, into that which is beyond, is the secret known to the High Priestess: it is communicated by her to the elect. Most old attributions of this card are completely wrong on the symbolism—as, for example, its identification with the Word, Divine Nature, the Triad, and so forth.
