Empress as How Someone Sees You (Upright & Reversed) Tarot Card Meaning

The Empress is the card of abundance, fertility, marriage, and unconditional love. She is Venus, ruling over all matters of the heart: love, relationships, sexuality, affection, desire, beauty, luxury, and art.

The Empress is as generous as she is sensuous. As the mother of all creation, she believes that everyone deserves to be loved. She provides, nurtures, and cares. Her love is everlasting. 

Upright Empress as How Someone Sees You

If you are asking about how someone sees you, and you draw the Empress, that means this person sees you as someone they genuinely love. The love here is not just a feeling; it is unconditional. They want you in your life. They believe you bring out the best in them. Being with you brings abundance, joy, and all the positive things in life. This kind of connection lasts a lifetime.

The Empress means that they see you as a sexual and familial partner with whom they can start a family. The Empress is the Earth Mother and is governed by Venus, the fertility goddess. When they think about you, they cannot help but feel their love’s passion. They desire you. 

For singles and those embarking on new relationships, the Empress is a sign that they see you as their potential life partner. They have fallen in love with you. They once desired you, and now they are willing to put life into their thoughts. This person believes your relationship will be filled with abundance; you can achieve so much together. But you might think otherwise. This is the time to ask yourself: do you feel the same?

For existing relationships, the Empress means that they see you as a priced companion. They are happy and proud you are with them. They know your relationship is headed in a positive direction. There is individual growth while you are maturing as a couple. The card indicates a positive sign for a deeper commitment. If you are looking forward to marriage or starting a new family, your partner feels the same.

If you are asking about an ex’s intentions, the Empress shows that they see you as “the one that got away.” They still have deep feelings for you. They heavily regret what happened. They now realize that you have so much room to grow individually and as a couple. If given a chance, they are open to reconciliation.

In the context of whether or not a relationship is headed for commitment, engagement, or marriage, the Empress means that they see you as their life partner…their soulmate. When the Empress is on your deck, rest assured that the answer to these questions will always be a big “YES.” Your partner is confident about your relationship and your ability as an amazing partner. They may propose any time soon.

Empress Reversed as How Someone Sees You

If you are asking about how someone sees you, and you draw the Empress reversed, that means this person sees you as someone they cannot commit with. They know you are interested in them, but they can’t give you what you are looking for. The card indicates the lack of love; the Empress’ upright energy is therefore blocked. This person may have unresolved childhood issues that most likely have something to do with problems involving their relationship with their mother.

The Empress reversed means that they see you as someone who neglects and takes advantage of them. They feel that you don’t love them, no matter how much effort they put in for you. You may need to reflect on your past actions if this is the case. Alternatively, the card could also mean your relationship with this person is toxic due to their insecurity. They are afraid you will abandon them; as a result, they are highly clingy to the point that it will suffocate you. If this resonates with you, remember you are not in control. Attachment issues are internal problems this person has to deal with alone.

For singles and those embarking on new relationships, the Empress reversed is a sign that they see you as an object of sexual attraction. They only see you as someone who can satisfy their physical intimacy. Something is blocking them from building an emotional connection with you. They might not reciprocate the feeling if you have already fallen in love with this person. They cannot give what you are looking for.

For existing relationships, the Empress reversed means that they see you as a toxic partner. You are always in a push-pull situation, where one of you is always chasing the other and pulls as soon as you are near your goal. It also means there are attachment issues in the relationship. The relationship will only flourish if these problems are resolved. Couple therapy may be a good option if you cannot overcome them by yourselves.

If you are asking about an ex’s intentions, the Empress reversed shows that they see you as someone who did not really love them. They still desire you from time to time. But once they think about how your relationship ended and how you played a big part in ending it, past wounds are reopened. You may have offered reconciliation many times already, but the emotional blockage prevents you from starting anew. Only by overcoming them can you genuinely reconnect with this person. Otherwise, you are going back to square one.

In the context of whether or not a relationship is headed for commitment, engagement, or marriage, the Empress reversed means that they see you as a potential life partner. However, they have a lot of questions in their mind. Are you someone they can spend the rest of their lives with? Your relationship is tainted by harsh words that hurt them on a deeper level. It would be best to have open communication so that past issues will be resolved and know where your relationship is headed.
