Conditions of The Empress
Positively
- Female (for women). You are the true guardian of the family hearth. You are an excellent homemaker, a faithful wife and a responsible mother; those around you try to take your example and imitate you in everything. You are beautiful and feminine, you sincerely love your husband and provide him with all the support he needs. Daily life and household chores are your favorite activity, considered not a burdensome duty but a pleasant and easy activity.
- Female (for men). You understand all women perfectly and have a deep spiritual bond with all the women in your family: grandmother, mother, sister. After getting married you become a wonderful husband, you are very homely, always help your wife with household chores, love order and cleanliness. You are ready to take responsibility and provide for the family.
- Abundance and fertility. You have succeeded in achieving much, in the process you have gained rich life experience and considerable material benefits. Everything you touch begins to grow and bear fruit. You know how to manage money, what to buy first, increasing your standard of living. You have a sense of taste and touch, instilling in everyone a love of beauty.
- Patronage. Very often you become a mentor, or rather a patron, a protector. You can engage in education, training or provide material support to those in need without any benefit to yourself. It must be said that the Universe does not remain in debt and supports you in many endeavors.
- Luxury and comfort. Another important aspect of this energy of yours is the love of luxury and comfort. You want to have only the best and most expensive; your house is always "full" and looks like a palace. You love to give and receive gifts, and whenever possible you try to make life interesting and full of happy events.
- Power and stability. You are used to solving global problems, and at some point in your life you may acquire power. However, you are not ambitious and power is not an end in itself for you as it is for the Emperor. Rather, you enjoy the state of stability and confidence in the future that power offers. Well, the accompanying luxury and comfort also play a role.
Negatively
- Rejection of the feminine principle (for women). You don't want to grow and take responsibility. You don't want to develop, learn or climb the career ladder. You constantly fight with your sisters, mother and grandmother. In your youth, you may openly despise family values, consciously refusing to have children and marry. In adulthood, you make obviously impossible demands of your partner and are in an eternal passive pursuit. As a result, you get a cat and resign yourself to the status of an old maid.
- Infantility (for men). The downside is that you are a very childish or "oppressed" man. You can live your whole life at the expense of your wife or mother. You have no desire for development; you always hope for chance and go with the flow. You may, in principle, have no family life, and if you do, it will become a greater burden for you. Therefore you may become aggressive and blame women for all your problems.
- Impatience. Extreme impatience and lack of punctuality are your most common negative traits, though not the worst. You may neglect time or, on the contrary, be particularly demanding of everyone around you. For the slightest failure to meet your requirements they will get a scandal.
- Pride and arrogance. Two other no less frequent disadvantages of this energy of yours. Having attained a certain wealth and social status, you place yourself above others and become inaccessible to ordinary people. In this state, you may ignore old friends, relatives and colleagues. You brag a lot, boasting about your position and money.
- Abuse of power. In the absence of more ambitious people, like the emperor, you can take full power into your own hands. Permissiveness can make your head spin, and then you go beyond all the boundaries of what is allowed. As a rule, you become a mercantile, aggressive and unscrupulous person. As a result, you lose your essence and become extremely unhappy.
