From the Wayfarer Tarot, the Empress; from the Curious Oracle, Gargoyle:
Love conquers all difficulties, surmounts all obstacles, and effects what to any other power would be impossible. —William Godwin
The Emperor uses force to bring people under his control and laws to keep them in order. The Empress uses love to bring people to her, and unconditional benevolence keeps them in her favor. In her world, there is no "mine and yours," just "ours." Yet the Gargoyle - symbolizing a guardian - warns that people can overuse and take advantage of her resources. Often, those with the most want more, while others are barely holding on. The Empress might be a creative nurturer, but she cannot tolerate such imbalances. She'd agree with Bruce Springsteen: "Nobody wins unless everybody wins."
