The Empress

III

The Empress herself has chosen you tonight

Look at her, this woman is refinement standing before the grand Creole Mansion, draped in her flowing gown, beauty all around her. That rich burgundy gown speaks of earthly abundance, of someone who knows her worth and wears it with quiet dignity. Venus rules here, where life creates more life in an endless cycle of beauty.

The Empress is the Great Mother, the creative force that brings forth life in all its forms. She stands against those wrought-iron balconies like she owns the very ground beneath her feet—and in many ways, she does.

See how the light embraces her? That's no accident. The Empress commands respect not through force, but through her natural magnetism, her ability to nurture and create.

I sense you've been giving much of yourself lately... perhaps too much? The Empress appears when we need to remember that we must first fill our own cup before we can truly nourish others.

You're entering a time of fertility—perhaps not of the body, but of the soul. Something you've been tending, protecting, nurturing... it's ready to bloom. Your creative powers are at their peak. There's something wanting to be born through you—a creative project, a relationship, perhaps even a child for some who sit at my table. Whatever form it takes, The Empress assures you that the conditions for growth are perfect.

This woman knows the secret that many forget: true power lies not in taking, but in giving. In loving without condition. In creating beauty where there was none before. In this haunted city, where life and death dance so closely together, The Empress reminds us that vitality is our birthright. The cypress trees that stand in our swamps for hundreds of years? They understand her message—that to create is to be alive.

The Empress asks: what are you ready to birth into this world? What dream, what project, what love have you been carrying that's ready to emerge? Trust in your ability to nurture it into existence. She asks you to embrace sensuality, to honor your body as the sacred vessel it is. When was the last time you truly savored a meal? Felt the sun warm your skin? Allowed yourself pleasure without guilt?

You have everything you need within you, sugar. Time to let your garden grow.The Empress doesn't just nurture—she overflows. The Empress doesn't whisper her wisdom—she sings it. You're being called to create with confidence, to nurture without depleting yourself, to remember that abundance is your natural state.

Whatever you're growing in your life right now needs your loving attention, but not your worry. The Empress knows that growth follows its own divine timing. Trust the process, as she does.
