In The Tarot- key 3, The Empress, is the symbol of the universal principle of love with wisdom. She is a symbol of our ability to extend love and receive love. In Jungian psychology, she is the anima, the feminine nature.

The Empress is numbered Three and symbolizes one half of a perfect polarity - the Emperor being the other side of the balance. From the purity of the High Priestess we move naturally onward to the Empress' sense of bounty and fertility. She represents the Mother Goddess, fulfilling her part in the eternal cycle of creation, hence is ruled by VENUS (Aphrodite).

The Empress holds the power to steadily and determinedly rebuild, renew, nurture and nourish. She has an unquenchable and generous courage, responding instantly when she sees a need to defend. Her realm is built of love, fertility and warmth. When the Empress holds us we are once again in the sure safety of the infant at its mother's breast.

She also represents unconditional love - making no demands and setting no conditions. If we allow her love to flow through us then we too can become a pure spring through which the Universe flows. Only our fears stand between us and the Goddess.

The Empress shows us how deeply we are embedded to our femininity. Femininity could be associated with fertility, expression, creativity and nurturing among many other aspects. It therefore calls you to connect with beauty and bring happiness to your life. Understand yourself and get in touch with your sensuality so that you can attract life circumstances to bring happiness and joy. She is a signal that be kind to yourself, to take care of yourself.

In certain decks, The Empress depicts a woman sitting on a throne. From the abundant nature that surrounds her, we can assume that this woman represents the Earth Mother archetype, a goddess of fertility. Her world is ruled by Venus which means that there is complete love, harmony, fertility and luxury by the grace of this goddess. The woman herself has blonde hair crowned with stars, signaling her divine connection with the mystical realm. She is dressed in a pomegranate-patterned robe that represents fertility, and she is seated on cushions embroidered with a Venus sign. She is surrounded by an enchanting green forest with a river streaming through it. The Empress brings abundance and blessings in the readings of those she meets.

The Tarot Experience is a Project linking Organic and Electronic Music with the Tarot Cards Energies. Iv'e created Image Videos to play along with my Music to connect dots within the wonderful World of Astro-Theology and Syncretism "The Holy Sciences". I have created the full Tarot Deck, 78 Videos/Songs, to help connect dots from the Stars to your Body to the way certain energies may manifests.

The first four albums each contains 14 Songs "1 song per Card for it's respective Suit". This project has four albums:

Ace of Cups: Emotional Body: Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Ace of Swords: Mental Body: Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Ace of Disks: Physical Body: Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Ace of Wands: Spiritual Body: Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Ace of Swords is more of a Trance Electro House Trip-Hop Techno.
Ace of Cups is an Electro-Guitar "No Distortion" type of Groove.
Ace of Disks is an Electro-Lounge
Ace of Wands is what I call Techno-Rock where I have some Rock Distortion intertwined with Electronic music.
