Fertility, Creativity, Abundance, Nurturing

In the background, a historical map of Berlin and Brandenburg (circa 1735) alludes to cultural flourishing, growth, and inner harmony. The rune Berkano symbolizes birth, protection, cycles, and new beginnings.

The number 3, the element of Earth, the zodiac sign Taurus, and the planet Venus embody abundance, creative energy, and the natural rhythms of life.

At the center, a snail carries a radiant floral eye – a symbol of slow and steady growth, mindfulness, and the ability to see what truly matters. Golden stars, rainbows, and floral elements refer to fertility, the power of creation, and connection with nature.

This interpretation of “The Empress” celebrates creativity, nurturing, and natural abundance. It reminds us to use resources with care, to cultivate empathy, and to honor our connection to the flow of life.
