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 am totally blown away by how great this book is! Before you even get into the content you will notice it's sheer size. This book is HUGE. The book is filled with beautiful coloured reproductions of each card with a comprehensive breakdown of each cards imagery and numerical associations. Then you have the in a nutshell portion if you want the quick fix.
Upright and reversed meanings of each card are also included. There are chapters on spreads, belief systems, psychic abilities, working with difficult or negative cards. Pam has shared her knowledge and love of tarot in a beautifully accessible
guide that is thorough and easy to understand without feeling like too much hard work.
It's an utter joy to have this book in my collection and is fast becoming my go to treasure.
As an addition while waiting for my print copy I was able to buy the eBook version.
Yes, I have 2! It's THAT good.

UNDERSTANDING TAROT – A REVIEW (and why you should buy it now!!)
I always tell people who are starting the tarot journey (and some of those already into it), that apart from trusting your intuition and buying a good deck you can connect with, the next best thing you can do is to invest in a really good tarot book. I have a huge collection and have added “Understanding Tarot” to it.
What makes this book easily to my top best tarot books list are the detailed card descriptions. Of all the ones I have read, so far this is the best ever! Along with the upright and reversed meanings.
In most books I have come across, the card descriptions are just as you see it : Here is the two of pentacles which shows a man juggling two coins with a red hat and colorful clothes and blue skies…and it stops there or provides very less information. NOT with Understanding Tarot. Every color, every symbol, every background, every single detail on the card is simply and beautifully explained in a way that is easy to learn the meaning of the card, easy to relate and so easy to retain and if you are in a hurry there is also an “in a nutshell” description that gives a quick overview when you draw a particular card. Until this book came along, I never noticed or even knew what the tiniest of details in each card stood for.
Key themes of the card are highlighted in bold for better retention. My only crib would be that the book does not have an index page for quick jumps to the card since I have the Kindle version of it. That aside, it is a MUST OWN and fast becoming my favorite companion for my own daily readings and as a reference for reading for others.
Overall rating: 5/5
