3 - III The Empress

The Principle of Love with wisdom: The Earth Mother

If one is born with the number 3 one is like the Empress in one's capacity to love, nurture, comfort, support and heal others. It is through one's own mother that one defines who one would e and who one would not be.
For both men and women, this archetype reveals their deep love nature. This archetype reveals their power to receive and to give love with wisdom. For a man, the Empress is his golden lady within, or what in Jungian psychology is referred to as the man's anima. With the Empress as their spiritual essence, both genders have an extraordinary capacity to heal, comfort, and nurture others. With this gift they would do well in any of the professions concerned with nurturing others like the medical profession or the healing arts; animal husbandry, farming, and veterinarian work, architecture, design, landscaping or any of the arts that contribute to beautification like being a fashion designer, gardener, artist or superb chef.
Their greatest challenge is to nurture, comfort and support themselves in equal proportion to how they support and nurture others. They have an enormous capacity to model to others the beauty of what it is like to have a balanced, wise, and trusting emotional nature. Because love with wisdom is their greatest gift, they may need to monitor a tendency to over-give or push to make things happen that are emotionally important to them or, because they feel so deeply, they may protect themselves or hold back emotionally for fear of being hurt. These tendencies may surface in times of stress or may announce that they are not nurturing themselves in equal proportions to how they are nurturing other.
