"Stop producing. Start receiving."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A figure sits in a luxurious chair in a field of tall grass. Embracing their own femininity and sexuality, they are able to enjoy the beauty around them as it unfolds
Look closer.
This card represents the warmer/sensual aspects of femininity (and motherhood) whereas the High Priestess, the card before this, represents the more cool/mysterious aspects of womanhood. You have cultivated something wonderful through a connection to your inner divine and nature. Appreciate the beauty and passion that you attract
You are not attracting the beauty and passion you want. Perhaps you are impatient or perhaps you must connect more with nature or your own raw energy
The imagery (the crown, corn necklace and field) is a nod to depictions of Demeter, the greek goddess of the harvest (and mother to Persephone)
Its place in the deck.

The Empress for Gemini
The Communicator
Gemini is an Air mutable sign ruled by Mercury, whose natural subject is talk, siblings, short trips, the daily traffic of information. Venus sits outside Gemini's usual Mercury register, so this one arrives as unfamiliar weather. Gemini is mutable: it adapts, and this is a card about beginning, so the start will be easy and the shape of it will keep changing. Upright, this is happening out in the visible world, where other people can see it and respond to it.
