According to tarot expert and creator of The Wild Unknown Tarot Kim Krans, the Empress contains a mysterious power and magnetism—a vitality or life force relating to the divine feminine found throughout nature. “The big question for the Empress,” Krans says, “is how will the power be used? Will the Empress rule from above, looking down at those less fortunate? Or will the Empress slow down, trust, and settle into the earth, finding new ways to govern by spreading kindness and generosity throughout the realm?” “The Empress does not seek out relationships but rather trusts in divinity and waits for her partner to arrive,” she explains. “These qualities of patience and magnetism can be activated by meditating at night by candlelight, asking for guidance from The Empress.” She adds that nature is the Empress’ guide, which we can take a cue from when pulling this card: “When in doubt, study water, weather formations, and root systems. This will tell you how the Empress sustains for centuries without resentment and remorse.”
