Greetings Friends,
Are you ready for softness? The feel of warm dirt under your feet? A cool breeze on your skin? A long nap under a tree? After standing tall with the Emperor, we return to the Earth in Taurus season. In the Tarot, Taurus is associated with The Empress, the card that invites us to receive pleasure and security through our senses and the Earth.
In readings, The Empress signals a situation where it's safe to let energy in, safe to listen, to feel, to eat, to drink, to rest, to enjoy. In the gorgeous tarot deck, The Fountain, the color cloaked Empress stands at the center of a verdant lagoon, becoming one with her surroundings. After the surge of individualism in Aries season, the Empress brings us back to our roots, reminding us that we are one with the Earth, our physical provider. And while we are meant to branch out in our unique self-expression, it is the Earth element that is nourishing us along the way.
Ruled by Venus, Taurus encourages us to open ourselves to love and nourishment. But receptivity requires trust, and for many of us, trust is hard won. The Empress teaches us to start with our senses, to trust the sunlight on our skin, the fresh fruit in our mouth. It is through trust that she reveals how receptivity and generosity are intertwined, and that true security is found by opening the heart.
With love and trust,
Lisa
