FYI, there is much nudity, some very mild sexual imagery, and lots
of in your face playfulness and challenges!
The Empress sits in a field of daisies, perched upon a daisy. She
raises her head and face to the sun (Add an aluminum reflector and
she's ready to tan). But a moon rises behind her hand. A corona of
small golden spheres floats around her head. Her legs are part of
the daisy field.
This is a young Empress. Her breasts are barely developed. A dark
triangle at her mons suggests pubic hair, and one daisy floats
over her umbilicus, suggesting the onset of fertility. A bee sits
upon her knee (funny, this is the first time I've noticed
this)...so clearly, she's ripe for fertilization!
This is a powerful Empress to me. She is ripe and full of promise.
She has not yet fulfilled her potential; she is still
self-absorbed and full of contemplating her own fertility. She is
possibility itself. She's not yet been disappointed and trodden on
by life.
With that said, I usually think of the Empress as the Queen of
Queens; one who is the maturity of all the Queens. This young
Empress has not yet mastered all of those challenges.
Blessings all,
Janet
