The Empress (Reversed) in a Love Reading:
New Relationship:
The reversed Empress can signify a budding relationship where one partner is overbearing, smothering, or needy. This might have the unintended effect of turning off the very person they are trying to impress. If you are coming on too strong, back off a little. The advice of the Empress, upright or reversed, is always to “let them come to you.”
Long Term Partnership:
The Empress reversed can represent a partner who “needs to be needed.” Although this person likes to think that she is selflessly acting for those she cares for, this may be masking her insatiable desire to feel wanted or loved. This card will alert you to a partner that gives much while silently expecting a lot in return.
Seeking Romance:
The Empress reversed can highlight issues around past mothering or nurturing which is unconsciously affecting one’s adult relationship life. A lack of adequate nurturing from early family life may at the root of extreme aloofness, or excessive clinginess in adult relationships. A councilor or other professional may help with healing past issues.
