The Empress is the fourth card of the Major Arcana, although it is numbered 3.  (Remember The Fool is the first card and is numbered 0).

The Empress is linked to the The High Priestess but unlike the HPS, the Empress is a card of activity and movement. The basic meaning of this card is growth, prosperity and fertility as The Empress is ruled by Venus.  In a spread, this card can indicate pregnancy, luxury, abundance and acting on one’s internal guidance.

The card shown here is the 2 of Pentacles from the Rider-Waite deck. The Rider-Waite deck was the first Tarot deck to have each Minor Arcana card illustrated. Traditionally, the cards would look more like the one shown in the 3 of Pentacles - simply the corresponding number of the suite. Read more »

The card depicted here is the Ace of Pentacles from the Robin Wood deck. It’s a beautiful deck and well worth looking out for.

When the Ace of Pentacles appears in a reading, like the other Aces, it tells me that something is about to happen. It’s a card of a new beginning, espcially in regard to work and money. Read more »

“I dreamed I was in an airport and the loudspeaker announced the aeroplane would be leaving in 1 hour and 10 minutes for Rome. What does this mean? could you please also read my cards?”

There are three references to travel in this dream - the airport, the plane and Rome, which could also be ‘roam’, which means to travel. I would say that there are some changes coming up in your life which will take you out of your comfort zone but open up new horizons for you. An hour and 10 minutes is 70 minutes, so I would be looking for synchronicities around the number 7.

I drew a card for you as well and the card is the 6 of Wands. This card indicates succes in any endeavour, but particularly in exams and promotions at work. This is a very lucky sign for the next three months.

The 8 of Cups shows the querant walking away from the familiar and into the unknown. The querant is taking an emotional risk and has no way of knowing if it will pay off or lead to more unhappiness. This card is a warning against putting too much emotional energy into the early stages of a relationship. The querant needs to keep enough distance to remain objective.

The 7 of Cups indicates change and choices confronting the querant. There are several paths the querant can take, but there is no guarantee that they will take the right one, or even that any of the possible paths will have the desired outcome. The querant needs to undertake thorough research and use commonsense, rather than relying on their ‘gut feeling’.

The 6 of Cups shows the querant is or will be thinking about the past or family siutations. This card can show someone from the past coming back into your life, but not necessarily a romantic partner. A family reunion can also be indicated.

This is a melancholy card. The querant has been disappointed in some way and is therefore somewhat depressed or sad. The querant may feel let down or hurt now, but there is still a way for a better future to occur.

The 4 of Cups is uncertain. He doesn’t know if he wants what he has or if the grass is greener on the other side. He is not sure of his feelings and is also not sure of what he wants.
