Empress

The collar and cuffs depict a woman who is submissive and a perfect match for the dominant personality of the Emperor. Her posture displays her sensuality and the desire to please her Emperor and fulfill all of his desires. Yet, she is alone on the card reminding us that women don't need men. She is on her knees because she has chosen to be there. The background is identical to that of the Emperor as a tribute to the oneness between the two of them.

Divinatory Meanings: Passion, sensuality, desire.
