The Empress
Death
The most transformative and difficult relationship
What The Empress offers Death
Can receive Death's transformative touch with grace when she has done her inner work — the mother who can grieve.
“The Empress's shadow is Death — what she refuses to release, Death takes. True abundance requires learning to let go.”
What Death offers The Empress
Teaches the Empress that her greatest act of love is sometimes to release — that holding on past its time is also harm.
“Death's shadow is the Empress — the transformer secretly needs to learn how to nurture, sustain, and not only release.”
The Breaking Point
The Empress's need to sustain and preserve is Death's primary obstacle — she will fight the very transformation she needs.
