Here we see the Empress as a backdrop for the Two of Wands and the King of Cups. The Wands card shows a passionate debate and the need to choose between two directions. Perhaps it is the start of a new business partnership, or the querent is in two minds himself over which path is best. The King of Cups seems to loom gently over the fiery wands, and indicates clearly which side he favors. He is a mature figure of great emotional depth and wisdom, and it would be prudent to follow his guidance! Along with the gentle yet powerful energy of the Empress in the reading, it is clear that a patient and caring response is needed. The Empress here shows us that there does not need to be haste in the decision making process, but to take time to find the true insight of the King of Cups, and follow your inner wisdom.
