From the Daniloff Tarot, the Empress; from the Kuan Yin Oracle, Verse 59:
Alexander's Empress is more queen of her kingdom than a Mother Nature archetype. While her husband might be more concerned with law and order within and military might on the borders, she focuses on protecting others in more nurturing ways. She wants the realm's children to be educated, her people to have enough to eat and drink, and for everyone to have sufficient shelter from the elements. She has to be strong enough to take on the king when his desires try to roll over the needs of others. The Kuan Yin verse speaks of how fear can take over our common sense: "it makes about as much sense as holding your breath when you are trapped in a thorny jungle." The adrenaline surge of fear can make us want to hide, run or cover our eyes and ears. But fear is simply a messenger, suggesting we search out available resources and put them to use while adapting to the situation at hand.
Do not fear things that arise in the mind; question them, know them. The truth is more than thought and feelings, so do not believe and get caught by them.
—Achaan Chah
