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.

I want to thank you Pam Richards for the detailed reading that you made for us! Being on a crossroad, now taking a decision doesn't seem so hard as before.

Understanding Tarot. I thought I could just start this review with ‘with over 400 pages this book didn’t just land on my doorstep, it landed with a thud, to then go on to round it all up in a nice quick paragraph. But no, I’m not even 50 pages in and Pam’s descriptions of each card is meticulous. To read it you feel yourself as part of the card and near enough to touch everything she describes, from the reasons of the colours of their clothing I love how that is so important and will make me look at tarot cards so differently , to everything else in the background, nothing is missed , actually more things are found in the cards I’d never seen before . I’m not going to flick through to the end to say it was all good! It’s full of history, numerology and heaps I haven’t even got to yet, Pam writes with passion and enthusiasm in a way that reads exciting so I’m going to enjoy every page. I know there is other information at the back for everything Tarot and I will read that at my leisure . I will finish with ‘in a nutshell’ it’s fab . Read it and enjoy x
