Hello you,
Happy new moon and solar eclipse and entry into Taurus season! The stars are certainly busy at the moment, huh?
The new moon means it’s time to step into embodying another archetype of the tarot, this month we’re getting luscious with my babe The Empress. Get yourself something delectable to snack on and let’s step into the realms of pleasure, nature, and communities of care with them, shall we?
Before we step into The Empress’ shoes though, I have a few things to tell you about…
First is that I'm running a series of pay-what-you-can breathwork group practices online as part of training as a breathwork facilitator. The final two sessions are coming up in the next few weeks and I’d love to see you for both or either. Head here to book your place.
Second is that I’m taking on new one-to-one clients. If Spring has you coming out of hibernation and wondering how you wandered so far away from yourself, this is for you. We’ll spend six months together, playing with breath, rest and embodiment practices to help you trust yourself and feel at home in your body. Sound good? Book a discovery call and we can talk about how one-to-one work could work for you.
Okay, announcements done. Let’s go hang out with The Empress…

The Empress
Here you are, plushly reclining on your throne of cushions, bathed in warm light. You’re surrounded by nature - fields of wheat at your feet, a river and a rich green forest at your back. And babe, you’re resplendent. Your crown of stars shimmers in the golden hour light and you’re lounging, supported by your cushy comfortable throne and exuding an air of grounded confidence.
No one would dare to question your right to pleasure, self-love, and care. No one would doubt your ability to nurture and create abundant new life in which ever manner calls to you. You are softly open, ready to give and receive it all.
Who is The Empress?
The Empress is an archetype of abundance. This card is ruled by Venus - planet of love and connection, beauty and pleasure - and boy do they embody that energy.
As they lounge upon their throne, wearing a very comfortable looking mumu, they invite us to find that same body love for yourself. As they gaze lovingly from their nest of cushions they ask you - when does your body feel like a glorious place to be? What outfit makes you feel like your most favourite version of yourself? What might is be like to live shamelessly in this beautiful body of yours, free from the niggling voices that chatter unkind things?
The Empress wants to hug you into the luscious softness of their body and remind you that rampant self-love is yours to step into as well. It may take time to unlearn the ways you’ve been taught to hate or distrust your body, but your body is there with you unconditionally.
