Upright Meaning:
Supportive, sensual, nurturing
If you are doing a love reading about a particular person and you draw the Empress, it is a good omen. The card signifies a nurturing, loving, and sensual relationship. It also signifies a sense of security and confidence.
In some cases, the Empress in a love reading also indicates that love could come from the workplace, a colleague, or someone that shares your career.
If you are doing a love reading for an existing relationship, the Empress signifies stability and a healthy connection. The card also indicates a serious commitment such as marriage, pregnancy, or even simply moving in together, is on the cards.
Reversed Meaning:
Jealous, overbearing, clingy, overly dependant, no progress
If you draw the Empress in reverse for a love reading there are a few different ways to interpret it. If you have read the overall meaning then it is clear to you by now that it indicates a lack of confidence.
Or, an over dependant and smothering relationship. The reversed Empress card in a love reading also indicates that one of the people in the relationship is having difficulties expressing feelings. It could also be a clear indication of a lack of self-worth in the relationship.
Know that you are worthy of love, always. Without this feeling rooted within you, it is unlikely that the relationship will be a success. If you or your partner feels unworthy of love then it is likely to develop into issues related to jealousy, over-dependence, and insecurity.
Alternatively, the Empress card indicates that you should spend quality time with your partner.
