What is the energy of The Empress?

We’re progressing with the Major Arcana to The Empress this month. We started off with The Fool: new beginnings, new starts, adventures. Then The Magician: energy begins to manifest. Moving forward into The High Priestess: urging us to tap into our intuition. Going within helps to give birth more fully to that new beginning. And that’s where The Empress comes into play. Once you’ve truly tuned into your inner voice, you’re able to go beneath the surface to see what was missing and to tap into the inspiration to take things to the next level. With that information, The Empress energy then helps to give birth and bring to life this more full vision.

I “couldn’t” paint or write poetry or compose music and therefore, my brain determined, I was not creative...
