I wasn’t sure if I wanted to pull any cards for myself today. I started to shuffle the deck (just an absent minded tidying habit) and The Empress popped out. Okay. The Empress has a strong personal meaning to me – it wa the card that popped out of the deck the day I found out my sister was pregnant (the day she gave birth to my beautiful nephew). As a woman with a sex life, it always makes me question my own cycles and fertility. This year, I’ve actually cried a few times over the fact that I don’t have any children and I’m 31. I feel nowhere near healthy enough physically or mentally to handle a pregnancy now, and I fear that as I get older I’m just getting further from the mark, My partner seems ambiguous though he speaks often about being happy childless. We are in agreement that as a couple, it would be irresponsible to have a child right now. So who says The Empress has to be about pregnancy and childbirth? Am I inserting that meaning because of past experiences when drawing this card? I know The Empress is about creation. So I looked at her and asked, “what are you suggesting I create?”9 of Cups. The card of wishes granted. Happiness, having enough, satisfaction. Also knowing when enough is enough. Sensual creations. -- source link
