Aligned but not to be confused with the standard Empress Card.
The nineteenth card in the deck.
In the standard tarot deck The Empress is a powerful Earth - Mother figure who can signal the birth of a child or a new start in an "old " life. A rebirth into childhood with the wisdom of an ascended and virtuous being. A woman full of the power of the feminine .She is relaxed and peaceful.
The Dishonored Empress was clearly named for the standard deck card but in no way resembles the same woman. The Empress of this deck is clearly a woman who has much of the same qualities a of powerful female nature with none of the kindness or motherly affectations. She stands defiantly akimbo with a look of stern consternation on face.
In a present, past or future position she represents the woman in charge. She embodies the very nature of a "no-nonsense" attitude.
In an inverted aspect she could mean a slacker attitude full of nonsense, or she could mean the abuse of the power which she has attained. A woman of ill gotten gain.
