This card is a good portent for you and those around you.
Abundant creativity, the arts. Any artistic endeavours you are currently associated with are likely to be more successful, as this card often finds those exposed to strong bursts of creative or artistic energy. That creative energy may not be in the form of an art project, however -- it could be literal creation (children).
She represents your mother and relationships with other women.

Peacemaking. Recognize your good intentions in carrying out your responsibilities as a compassionate human. You are capable of demonstrating the finest aspects of your personality.

Overbearing, smothering. Losing yourself in taking care of others or overly relying on someone. Lack of self-reliance.
Insecurity. One's self-worth may need a boost.
Lack of growth, lack of progress. Your career might feel stale. Sort out which of these are problems that require an external change, like switching jobs, versus an internal one, like developing confidence and communication skills.
In a relationship, a partner that is too smothering, controlling or alternatively, unable to express their feelings. Maybe clingy.
Natural disasters, bad weather because the Empress represents Nature.
Feeling financial instability despite being comfortable. Materialistic. Just be responsible and it’ll be okay.
