Empress Reversed as Intentions

If you are asking about someone’s intentions towards you, and you draw the Empress reversed, that means this person intends on going their own way. They feel unloved and unwanted. Their giving nature is blocked by childhood trauma or negative emotions that stem from your relationship. They are searching for a specific type of love, and it’s possible that you were unable to provide that for them. They want to retreat into themselves and stay away.

The Empress reversed as intentions could also mean they want to cling to you even more or get away from you. They are insecure about your relationship, and their answer to this is to cling to you even tighter. However, it can also go the other way, and they can feel like you are too overbearing. They aren’t able to provide for your needs and it’s bothering them.

For singles and those embarking on new relationships, the Empress reversed is a sign of them intending to desperately chase after you. They love you and there’s no doubt that they are attracted to you in all ways. But, the emotional connection is being blocked by some emotional baggage. In turn, this causes a fight or flight response within them, and in this case, it’s fight. They want to keep you even if it’s unhealthy for both of you.

For existing relationships, the Empress reversed represents an intention to break out of the harmful push-pull relationship that you have going on. The attachment issues at play are larger than ever, and it’s beginning to take a toll on your relationship. Your partner wants to get closer to you, but they end up pulling away at the last second. This is an issue that can be solved with couples therapy. Working together and being honest with one another is the only way to reinvite love back into your lives.

If you are asking about an ex’s intentions, the Empress reversed shows that they intend to overcome their emotional baggage first. They are still physically attracted to you, but your relationship ended on the wrong foot, and they still carry that hurt with them. You both tried your best to make it work in the past, but things just never turned out the way you wanted them to. Your ex is unsure about where they stand in your eyes and vice versa. They are confused and this confusion is stopping them from reconciling with you right now.

In the context of whether or not a relationship is headed for commitment, engagement, or marriage, the Empress reversed means that this person’s intentions are to pursue a healthier relationship with you. They acknowledge the problems in your relationship, and they are willing to work on those issues. It’s possible for your relationship to blossom into something more if you’re both able to resolve your inner trauma. A healthy commitment is on the horizon.
