III. - Die Herrscherin

Bathed in the golden glow of a setting sun, The Empress reclines in a field abundant with the fruits of the earth, embodying the essence of fertility, beauty, and nature's bounty. Her gown, rich with the hues of harvest, flows around her like the gentle embrace of Mother Earth. Atop her head sits a crown studded with stars, symbolizing the cycle of the seasons. Her scepter, a symbol of her power, rests in her hand. The symbol of Venus on the heart-shaped pillow signifies love, femininity, and creation. The verdant landscape and the flowing wheat around her denote prosperity and the nurturing of growth. The Empress is the archetype of the maternal principle, the nurturing force that turns abundance into sustenance and warmth into comfort.
