You have chosen the Empress and the Seven of Cups. The Seven of Cups shows there's been emotional confusion and you've not been feeling at all like yourself. This feeling of not having the energy to fire on all cylinders has left you feeling slightly shattered. You've had a scattered focus as if you couldn't see things straight at all. You've had quite negative feelings. This has made you feel a little paranoid. Now, you need to clear the clutter, particularly from your mind for you may have created some of this clutter which has led you to feel that you're having illusions. Your imagination has just been running away with you as things haven't been right. If you feel that you've been having delusions of grandeur maybe you are doing far too much and finding yourself out of sorts. The Empress is asking you to take care of yourself for the Empress is all about valuing who you are. It links in with the Planet Venus: this is about the love, romance and the feminine side of everyone. What it really means here is that you must value yourself, love and care about what you want. You've had far too much mental and emotional clutter where you've not been taking care of yourself. You need to nurture who you are and its time to look after yourself and secure yourself for the future. You need to de-clutter, sort things out and get rid of things that are no longer productive or of any value to you - including people. This can include possessions and the kind of things you do within your life that cause you to feel that you do things for others but not enough for yourself. You must take care of yourself. The Empress is the mother figure and it's asking you to look after number one. You'll be no good to anyone else if you can't look after yourself.
The Empress is all about fertility and the Planet Venus. It's time to look after who you are as a person for Venus is about forming some personal values. You need to value who you are and to express your own personal values in something that you feel is unique and individual. You can do by altering where you live - this could be the d?cor. You could change your image or look at how you express who you are to others using your sense of style. You've got to look at what you want for you and put a value on who you are and the possessions around you. You need to look at everything that surrounds you and what it says about you and realise that it must have some sense of beauty and satisfaction to you. If it doesn't you realise that it's time to de-clutter to move on, spring clean and make way for the new.
