This is a time for nurturing, material and domestic comfort, a feeling of abundance, harmony, joy and love. A time for motherhood - you may already be pregnant or thinking about motherhood, if female of course! If male, this is a period of joy and abundance for you too - the appearance of The Empress here could also indicate that your mother or mother figure could be of great significance or comfort at this time. This is also a card of creativity so it is a good omen if you are feeling creatively inspired at this time.
You're probably looking for an easy solution to a difficult problem. However in life, turmoil and upheaval often bring about positive change - just not quite as we would like it. Seize this opportunity that is forcing change as a chance for a new beginning.
You are fearful of lacking the willpower and strength to deal with someone or something that concerns you. Feeling negative and listening to all your fears will only create failure and lost opportunities. Be as brave as a lion but work compassionately and you'll be fine.
With patience this passive time, this time of feeling in limbo and indecision, will pass and then you will know what decisions to make, what or who to let go of and how to move on. Whatever self-sacrifice you have to make, you will feel a better and stronger person for it.
A run of bad luck here, perhaps already evident or there are certainly signs that things are not going your way. The responsibility of important decisions weighs heavy with you where there are choices to make. Trust your intuition, and even if you have to make the painful decision to give up something in order to move on, then have the courage to do it. Trust that The Wheel of Fortune constantly turns and whilst it may be against you at the moment, it will in time turn and bring you good fortune.
This is a transformational time for you. However turbulent or perhaps distressing some of the events in your life may be, endings always leave room for brand new beginnings. This is a fresh start in life for you, embrace it and live every day as though it were your last - life is for living!
