Self Portraits

I just can't get into my artwork for classes today...see the frustration in the color pic....I need to make an eye appointment..these glasses have to go...I need new contacts. I still have to wear readers with my contacts, there must be some new technology out now...okay, I know I am 50 going on 51 at the end of May...and my eyes are wearing out...OMG! did I just reveal that info...I must be feeling vulnerable as well as not creative today!!!

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
