In this combination, the two most powerful women in tarot come together. They both represent different aspects of the same coin: The Divine Feminine.
The Empress is illustrated as a beautiful woman sitting on her throne, surrounded by a luscious spring garden. Empress is the mother archetype in the physical realm, representing maternal instincts such as creating life, home and nourishment. She is represented by the planet Venus.
On the other hand, we have the High Priestess guarding her temple, shrouded in mystery and wisdom. She is the feminine powerhouse of the spiritual and unconscious realm, represented by the Moon.
Just like Divine Masculine, the Divine Feminine is one half of Spirit. This eternal balance play between the feminine and masculine is also known as ‘’yin and yang’’. Yin, or the Divine Feminine, is the sensual, sacred, cosmic energy that exists in both men and women, that is expressed with qualities such as gentleness, healing and inner wisdom.
Therefore, the Empress and High Priestess tarot combination advises you to awaken the divine feminine within you, especially if you had been living in a dominantly masculine energy (action and power oriented).
This means exploring your intuitive, creative, loving and sensual side more, in order to create harmony within you and in your relationships.
