Appearance-

The card appears with a female clearly meaning its based on feminity or celebrating your feminine energies. She is seen seated lavishly on velvet covered seater with supporting cushions, which points out the luxurious life she is having also about her comforting nature. She wears a gown printed with pmegranates which signifies the fertility of the empress.
She is seen wearing a crown topped with stars. Her surroundings show a field ready to harvest with abundant crops... She has a stream of water flowing at her right side. The entire theme of the card is of luxuries, of the materialistic world. We can also call this card a Nature card with mother nature or mother earth seated amongst abundance. Natural wealth comes in when nature is satisfied by the conduct of the beings around, this is the feeling reflecting from the Empresses face. Her look says she can obtained easily.
There is a golden aura shown around her crown region which shows she has developed her spiritual side too, her energies are pure and generated by her good heart and spirit. She is with abundance yet her aura reflects the golden being that she is within. The card is for being deeply grounded even after attaining riches.

Meaning-

The basic feel of this card is for the feminine energy it brings, the feminine energy to care, nurture, love, bring harmony, give birth all are different sides of this feminine card. You need to balance out our feminine energies and give yourself credit to be born as a female. If you are a male then you need to develop the qualities of the empress of caring and nurturing. Female side of our person is also the side of creativity in us. Develop your creative interests and give them time and space to expand.
The empress as the name suggests is the bringer of abundance, in usually materialistic world. She is seen seated lavishly on a very luxurious seat with lot of support, which shows you have people aound you to support you along with material stability. If you dont have such people know that this card brings you message of upcoming support.
Empress shows actual birth or pregnancy, depends on cards along that fall after this. Or this may show birth of new ideas, or creating opportunities. This card also tells you the message from mother Earth to get into natural environment. Or start eating organic naturally available food. Try to be in natural surroundings and let the nature cleanse your energies with its 5 natural healers the earth, fire, air, water and your spirit itself. When we connect with nature our body automatically starts healing itself, such are the healing abilities of our maginificent planet.
Also the calm poise with which she raises the wand in her hand shows that the abundance around her is earned by her efforts. Her creativity has helped her get to this much abundance. The motherly feel of this card may also point out to some people in your life that are acting as your mother!

Reverse-

The reverse card says you might be supressing, cursing, or disregarding your feminity or creative energy. Which may be resulting into lack of abundance or resources.
On the other side you might have disrupted your natural energy balance to a great extent resulting into disharmony or even ill-health. If you are not experiencing this then your lifestyle and food choices maybe such that may lead you to this place in future. Being too much off the path of one's own spirituality or of ones life's purpose leads us into this position; where you hardly find any resources and satisfaction. See for the cards ahead of this for solution of getting out of this situation.
You may be using your motherly side to over-do things. The people who never seem satisfied by your emotions maybe just consuming you energies this way. Remember feminine energy is creative energy, use this creativity to help people bring out the best in them rather then just vaguely trying to satisfy their ego's.
It may also revolve around with issues related to feminity, pregnancy or periods. Any disharmony in these processes show the un-nourished female by you tugged deep inside and wanting to come out.
