The Empress Description
A fertile woman sits on her shell throne. The shell, with the woman in it, is a symbol of femininity and she is the pearl herself, symbolizing fertility and the Goddess Venus.
She grasps a wand with a pearl at the end which represents how precious fertility is over time.
The fallen pomegranates, the fruit with a crown, represent ripeness and fertility at the right time. The red color of the fruit symbolizes fertility and love.
The branches ripe with fruit in the woman’s left hand symbolize readiness and care.
A solo star shines brightly over her head - she is a role model and a star among other stars.
