Upright Meaning:
The Empress is a strong pregnancy indicator and very good omen of success for those actively trying to get pregnant.
On the flip side, if you are not intending to get pregnant and you are capable of getting pregnant x The Empress is a warning to be very careful and take proper precautions! If pregnancy is not a factor in your health concerns, The Empress is an indicator that you need to nurture yourself more and listen to your body’s signals. Watch your energy levels, take time out for yourself to relax and unwind.
Reversed Meaning:
Generally in health terms, The Empress tells you to take care of your health in a productive way as you deal with your emotions. It can indicate that emotional conflicts may be causing laziness, apathy, lethargy, or binge eating. You need to exercise and do activities that make you feel good about yourself. Your health will be all the better for it.
The Empress reversed in a tarot reading can also indicate fertility/ pregnancy issues. That can be an unwanted pregnancy, a difficult pregnancy, miscarriage, termination or problems conceiving depending on the supporting cards.
