The Empress card from the Thoth Tarot tarot deck

Number: Atu 3 · Arcana: Major Arcana

Sensuality

Upright meaning

Love, beauty, and fruitful success — happiness, pleasure, and good fortune freely given, souring into dissipation, idleness, or excess only when taken too far.

Reversals in this deck

The Thoth tradition does not read reversed cards. Crowley's system judges a card as well- or ill-dignified from the cards around it and its elemental dignities, so every card here is read upright.
