Drawing The Empress Card And The Lovers Tarot Cards Together | What Do They Mean When Together? | A Complete Guide

A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.

However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.

As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the The Empress card and The Lovers card together in particular.

The The Empress card and The Lovers have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.

What does The Empress and The Lovers mean together?

The Empress and The Lovers tarot cards together represent the creation of life, abundance, fertility, and good parenting. These two tarot cards represent the importance of partnership and deep love in order to create new life. They also represent the strength of two people working together to create something beautiful and perfect. When these two tarot cards appear together in a reading, it is a positive sign that indicates new life, growth, and abundance. This is a time to come together with your partner and create something beautiful. There is great potential for success when these two tarot cards are present in a reading.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.

Common 2-card spreads

Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread

The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:

• The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
• The 2 card “Yes or No”

“The Fool’s Journey”

Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over

Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)

Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.

The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation

The 2 card “Yes or No”

Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.

Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.

The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.

Yes or No meaning

Both The Empress and The Lovers mean “Yes” when being asked a question. There is no doubt here, if you draw The Empress and The Lovers the answer to your query is “YES”.

The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.

What does The Empress mean?

The Empress Tarot card is associated with fertility, abundance, and creation. In a reading, this card can represent the birth of a new project, the conception of a new idea, or the beginning of a new relationship.

If you are facing a health issue, The Empress can represent fertility and the potential for healing. In terms of finances, The Empress suggests that you are about to enter a period of abundance. This can manifest as a raise, a windfall, or simply an increase in your overall financial well-being.

This is a time to come together with your partner and create something beautiful.
