Loving this vibing with series. The Empress in shadow reminds me of the more negative feelings around 'empty nest syndrome', the mourning and grieving that go with it, and the resistance to let it be and let it go. Feel like you're talking directly to me Kelly-Ann!
Oh yeah! I am so stoked to get into the Empress, mainly because I *struggle* with not generalizing this card into oblivion. Edit: I would LOVE a video of book recommendations.
it was right at the end that really hit me, the Empress anxiety that asks what more can I do, being insistent and hanging on to a feeling of responsibility for a situation that isn't mine to control or direct. Mind and heart opening to hear!
Wow this was juicy! I somehow never thought about her in relation to cycles! I suppose o thought of her as ever-verdant…never experiencing an end of thing with the same level of love and grace. Dang. Thank you for the way you shared that. And when you read the portion from the book I got goosebumps & teary eyed - phew! Never heard of that book either, but it’s going on my list! Thank you for taking the time and energy to share your angles on the cards with the world. If you ever offer a course, I’m in. Much love to you, Willow Lee Waters 💫✨
youre such a teacher bc ive always struggled with the empress card (difficult mother figure) and you explaining empress in shadow has clicked something within me. I resonate with this archetype much more deeply than I thought and i've been repressing aspects of it. im excited to work with the empress more now. thank you
Well, I am feeling ⚡️ triggered⚡️by the Empress in shadow description, so I know what I need to focus on next... This was so helpful. I didn't really.GET her until this video. I very much appreciate your insights.
We are moving this summer where we can have decent Internet and a new computer and I will be scheduling a reading with you I'm so excited about it I just have to decide which reading I want
The Empress is my personality and soulcard, so it is very special to me. I really love your interpretation! Wonderfull words, wonderfull insights. Thank you! 💜💜💜
You and your style are best seen in high-def. And you are looking very Empress here! I'm enjoying the Empress vibes of nature as I continue healing this morning and listening to you describe Her tendrils in _The Garden Party._ So good! Your excitement (the fizz?) as you invoke Her is contagious.
🥲 Thanks love. A friend of mine said that to me recently too. It means a lot coz my body has been through the ringer for the last couple of years with everything I've been dealing with x
Wonderful as always. I have a complex relash with the empress. She’s always someone I like to have, but it can be exposing sometimes. I’ve been reading tarot for many years, but when you juxtaposed it against specifically impatience and patience, the impatience resonated with me. I’m struggling rn and not feeling creative or abundant due to health, financial, professional, personal etc. paraphrasing-when you said the impatience about things being bad personally and in the world, that hit hard. I’m so burned out and sick of the awful shit happening in the world and in my country (USA). It’s a horrifying dystopian nightmare. It’s so hard to find strength anymore and when you said impatient and wanting to be out of this time or event, it made me stop. That’s it. I think I’m going to do some deep work with her for awhile, something I haven’t done to the extent I should for ages. So you in your empress expression, inspired me, the uninspired, creatively deficient, burned out reader. Thanks as always. Much love ❤
Aww darling, I really relate to so much of what you've expressed here. ❤️ I'm glad you will be doing some nurturing work with The Empress. Sending you strength x
I am also child free. My relationship with my own mother has always been difficult and has recently gone downhill. There are a l9t of reasons I don't vibe with a pregnant Empress card. One of my favorite Empress cards is from Dream Visions Tarot. The Empress is pregnant, but she is not human and the pregnancy is depicted via light. I have also been having creative difficulties, so the Empress tends to be a shadowy card all around for me these days. Lots of words to say that this video is particularly meaningful and affirming for me.❤
I love what you said. I relate to a lot of it aside from my relationship with my own mother. I have a lot of trouble with the pregnant empress. I am child free and have always wanted to be. It’s tough for people to get their head around. I love the dream visions. One of my favs. And funny enough, I always wondered why that empress didn’t trigger me. You’re right, it’s that it’s light feeling. It’s not an actual human womb, so it gives way to the more nuanced expression of that metaphor. I hope you can find some peace with your tumultuous experience with your mother ❤
Well, I don't read reversals and lots of cardslingers don't. So, I am choosing not to refer to the two sides as 'rightways' and 'reversed'. They are simply two distinct sets of characteristics, and if those who read reversals want to use them that way then they definitely should. 😁
@@kelly-annmaddox thanks! I don’t actually read reversals either 😄 I just wanted to know your opinion. 🌻 I find it a bit confusing…😅 how do I know when it’s the shadow of the empress, or when is the positive side of the empress? I guess it depends on the context and on the cards next to it?
@testcardII I use spread positions. 🙂 Makes everything clear. A card in a position such as - obstacle - weakness/flaw - fear - avoid/beware is much more likely to be in their shadowy stuff.
Oh my goodness, Mythic Tarot was my first deck too. My daughter chose that deck to be her first too. I've often thought about getting it again as I think I would understand it very differently now :).

Excellent video- Empress card gives North Node In Taurus in the 5th house vibes . Love your series.
Take your time. ❤
💋😘 Thank you love x
Love this Tarot Series! 💝 Just wondering… wouldn’t the negative side of the Empress be the reversed Empress?

Love the child free point of view of this card ❤

Oh my goodness, Mythic Tarot was my first deck too. My daughter chose that deck to be her first too. I've often thought about getting it again as I think I would understand it very differently now :).
Ok I LOVE that you and your daughter chose the same deck. The fact that it was The Mythic Tarot just makes it all the better. ❤
