1. An Empress is used to represent the Body, indicating it is under the authority of the Mind (The Emperor). 

2. Her eyes are blind-folded, indicating she is completely guided by the Mind.

3. She is wearing a dress that is not-so-white and not-so-black but transparent, indicating her approach is neutral and the transparency means the positive path is beneficial for her.

4. There are some strings on her neck area and some strings tied on her hand, indicating she has some constraints on her approach.

5. Her left hand is holding a scale, indicating she is weighting positive and negative paths by her instincts.

6. Her feet are resting on some higher stones, indicating she stands higher than the Mind and can see farther.

7. She is sitting on a throne, turning her left side of body and looking to the left side, indicating she prefers the negative path.

8. She is sitting on something like a black box, indicating the catalysts are mostly negative.

9. There is a lion under her feet on the throne, indicating the Body has a level of power.

10. There is a big white cat and a small white cat inside the black box she is sitting on, indicating the positive path (right hand side) is protected. The big one (protection) is from the holy spirit and the small one is from the spirit of the Mind. 

11. There is a small white person standing behind her on the throne, indicating she is being protected by the Mind.

12. The white person (The Mind) has a big wing, indicating the Mind can fly high like a bird.

13. There is a ring under the Mind’s wing inside the black box, indicating the union/marriage between the Mind and the Body.

14. There is a bird cage with an open door on top of the little white man, indicating the spirit has been set free.

15. There is an eagle flying on top of the bird cage and above the head of the body and the Mind, indicating the Holy Spirit is flying high and protecting the Mind and the Body.

16. There is a fan on top of the head of the Empress with some stars on the top of the picture, indicating the universe is bringing guidance to the Body and the Mind and the guidance will bring clarity(the cooling fan effect ) to the Body and the Mind.

17. There is another bird sitting on a column that supports the fan, right in front of the face of the Mind between the Mind and the Body, indicating the spirit of the mind is resting between the Mind and Body. It also means the spirit of the Mind doesn’t fly as high as the Holy Spirit but still in a way supports the fan for guidance and facilitates communication between the Mind and the Body.
