Today we ask the archetype of
The Empress
to provide us clarity.
Widen your perspective.
Be with the images for a sec before you look at what they mean to me. Your own clarity, your own voice. Let the images speak for themselves.

““It is not what you look at that matters, it is what you see””
Here is what I think… The Empress receives. She is (definitely a she) the highest symbol of nurturance, fertility, and beauty. She asks us what gold we spin from wool and how we make life from death and destruction. Deeply connected to the Earth this a grounding card that wants us to hold and amplify life with the tools of our own creativity and warmth.
nurturance
caretaker parts
fertility and creativity
receptiveness
GERMINATE the question.
The empress asks…
What did you grow?
Today is a great day to take your question for a walk. Get out in the world and let the clarity bloom.
“Beautiful things comfort; they bring a real clarity and ease. We have to continue to make our environments beautiful - it’s sort of like a prayer. If you surround yourself with beautiful things, you have a better life - one with more oxygen.”
BE CLEAR WITH YOURSELF.
In your journal, write about what you created this year.
If you feel like drawing a picture of something from your walk earlier, this would be a good idea!
TAROT BONUS: If you have a tarot deck and want to explore more about the empress in certain areas of your life, look at the minor arcana threes.
3 of pentacles for clarity around work/money/family - What gave you pride and joy?
3 of swords for clarity around mental issues - What kept you stuck?
3 of wands for clarity around creative and spiritual things- What required faith and patience?
3 of cups for clarity around love and connection- Who were your best creative partners?
Is it making sense yet?
