It can indicate an imbalance, where either too much or too little attention is being given, leading to a feeling of emptiness or suffocation. The reversed Empress warns against ignoring the emotional or physical needs of yourself or those around you.

Reversed Interpretation

In its reversed position, THE EMPRESS may suggest issues related to self-neglect, low self-esteem, or difficulties in expressing or receiving love and care. It calls for a reevaluation of how nurturing energy is being used or misused. This card advises addressing areas of neglect and working towards restoring balance and harmony.

Interpretation in the Context of Reconciliation
