Balances to Reach
Don’t let a love for others turn into a need for validation or approval. Don’t let self-assurance turn into stubbornness or confidence turn into impulsiveness. Can see into things deeply, but must not forget to also see widely.
Growth Direction

Assured: Has recognized tendency to be eager to please and has taken steps to harness spontaneity into decisive boldness.

Honest: Has embraced the idea that honesty is the only policy and has begun developing a necessary thick skin.
Empress Type

The Nurturing Passion Empress: An extremely rare rising combination, the Nurturing Passion Empress represents duality—making choices that might seem at odds with one another, but are ultimately complementary.

The Demanding Passion Empress: Doubling down on passion, the Demanding Passion Empress is fierce and decisive as they come. They are strong-willed and inspiring, but must beware their own seasons changing like Mother Nature.

THE WARRIOR EMPRESS

Obviously Spontaneous and sometimes over-Sensitive, the Warrior Empress lives by their sense of adventure. The Warrior Empress knows how to love deeply, but also remains grounded in the reality of responsibility and legacy. A born leader, the Warrior Empress also acts as a guide for self-reflection to inspire growth.

Balances to Reach
Don’t let a deep well of feeling turn into a thin skin. Don’t let a bold and adventurous spirit allow you to outrun that which bothers you. Don’t react without thinking first. Anxiety might ensue if proper time isn’t taken to process feelings.
Growth Direction

Assured: Has embraced the idea that confidence is queen and knows empowering others doesn’t always mean sparing their feelings.

Honest: Has fully recognized their tendency to be sensitive and reactive, so has started processing emotions and is beginning to share them more acutely.
Empress Type

The Nurturing Warrior Empress: The most parental rising combination, the Nurturing Warrior Empress always makes choices that protect those they love. However, a parent’s gifts and love can be withdrawn as easily as they are given.

The Demanding Warrior Empress: The most powerful rising combination, the Demanding Warrior Empress makes no compromises about leading with their passions—but they will make compromises for the greater good.

THE ENTHUSED EMPRESS

Very Thoughtful and sometimes over-Eager, the Enthused Empress lives by their sense of inspiration and faith in things outside themselves: people and higher powers. Able to believe in something greater than self as a way to aspire to greatness, they become a fierce ally and advocate. The Enthused Empress has an open heart and is a hopeful romantic. Knows that wise ones say only fools rush in—but also knows, in the tarot, that a fool is the best thing to be.
