In fact, the nuns at her Catholic school represented her
earliest image of female power—and “divine” feminine power at that. She hated
this image, yet she was embodying it in her management style at work.

 

The outcome card of the reading was the Three of Cups
Tarot card which typically
depicts three women dancing together. The card can have many meanings, but in
the context of this reading, I knew it suggested the joy Leslie could find if
she embraced her own powerful feminine. She could be a leader and still have
fun; be a full-on executive and still be vulnerable, curious, and “real.” She
came away from the reading with a new definition of the empowered feminine.

 

“I want to be kick-ass but wise, approachable, and kind.
And I want to trust myself more—the intuition thing—I want to say ‘yes’ to
that!”

 

The Empress: Nurturing, Love, Creativity

 

Bob had a very different issue. He and his wife had
recently had a baby, and he was staying at home to care for the child. The
nursery was perfect, with every gadget and accessory the baby might need. Milk
from mom was labeled and organized in the fridge. A schedule was tacked above
the changing table. Bob was giving his new daughter great care, but he felt he
wasn’t doing a good job. He was scared that if he didn’t do everything right he
would “mess up” his baby girl.

 

“I can’t relax. I can’t just love her, you know?”

 

Bob needed to access his inner Empress, the aspect of the
Divine feminine that is the mother, the creative impulse, the warm, forgiving,
eternally loving archetype. The Empress is strong and fierce but also soft and
playful. I did a similar process for him as with Leslie and had him focus on the
Empress Tarot card.
