3 - The Empress
The Fool journeys to The Empress and meets the earth mother, who teaches him about nurturing, growth, and pure, unconditional love. She gives life and is fertile, creative, and abundant. Growth is built upon sincerity and affection and tells us that listening to your heart is a wise thing when she appears. By following The Empress, The Fool finds on his journey that family, loved ones, and friends are valuable; they ground us, and he can sit and be nourished by his surroundings.
With The Empress we find love, unconditional sincere understanding and affection. We find compassion being present, needed, offered or wished for.
We find a time of soft, gentle comforts, emotional fulfilment and satisfaction can be found within relationships, especially within family and loving relationships. Things can feel very simple with this card, and with a need to create such a vibe, make things about love and simplify those things about you down to that denominating factor – if it is not unconditional, a reset may be needed.
We can wish to be The Empress at times, to be creative, fertile, motherly, and express love or alternately have a deep yearning need to be wrapped up in such feelings to heal and feel emotionally fed. The former can show us stepping up to the needs of our loved ones, the latter a need to go home, in what ever context that means to you. As the mother of the tarot deck, we can step into her protective element, with compassion, which we must also remember to extend to oursevels.
Some may find fertility and issue when this card arrives, a calling of the basic driving forces present within all of us, such as a need to be loved and procreation and for those looking at issues relating to pregnancy and children, here you have a positive card, a green light a time to flow toward what you wish.
Our emotions are not static right now, they move and change as love is expressed, and now is a time to listen to and follow our hearts.

Testimonials - Clients Kind Words
I just wanted to say thanks again for this reading. Hi Pam, Something guided me to look it up this morning and it has brought me real comfort. I’m dealing with a period of depression/anxiety which is taking time to resolve. I’ve been trying to push through it and your reading reminds me that I shouldn’t try to rush the process (and that all will be well).Thanks again, Cath

Pam gave me a reading earlier in the year which I re-read recently – everything she said was accurate and happened! She has also given me a recent reading, and what she has predicted is already starting to happen. Pam is so kind and empathetic and really knows how to make you feel better, even if it is not what you want to hear at the time.
Thank you so much, Pam; you are amazing. x
