'I lovingly nurture myself, nature and all life'. I am at one. I see the beauty in all creation. I use my feminine, loving energy within me. 

The Empress often appears in a reading when we need encouragement and 

support…nurturing and positivity in our lives (blessings). Represents 

abundance, well-being and good foundations in the home, material matters, feelings, and thoughts. It can also indicate pregnancy, motherhood and the 

growing of ideas.
