The empress tarot is a very looked upon card in a reading if it occurs in a favorable position. It is a card that is associated with growth, prosperity or sometimes may even signify arrival of a new baby in the house.

The Empress is a sure shot indication of the female influence on the person picking the card. It may be so that a lady may hold the answers to your current problems or just that offering homage to your family deity/goddess may enable you with clarity of thought. A female handling your finances in the current situation is also a great sign of prosperity. A woman's influence on the subject is the most pre dominant feature of this card in the major arcana.

If the empress card comes reversed in a reading, it indicates that you may be in a current situation of loss due to the fury of a woman.

Recheck the situation again and clear your relations. It may also be possible that a woman on whom you are emotionally dependent may threaten you to blackmail to get what she wants out of you. So be on the vigil. A reversed empress card may also stand for an unwanted pregnancy.
