Perhaps you find yourself in a state of overabundance. You may be feeling stifled by the clutter in your home. You may feel heavy after overindulging in rich foods and drink. The Empress reversed reminds you that though it is good to treat yourself well, too much of a good thing is not beneficial. This card can also show up when someone is trying to do too much to care for other people. The best helping and caring is done when we take time to rest and nourish ourselves. In whatever capacity you help others, be sure you are enjoying the process, not just the end results. Finally, this card can indicate trouble with your mother or mother figure, or difficulty embodying femininity or the mother role. It would be beneficial for you at this time to explore your thoughts and feelings about femininity and nurturing.
