The Empress and The Emperor

Three and four, and the two cards the tradition treats as a complementary pair: growth and structure, abundance and boundary. Neither works alone for long, and the reading is usually about which one is currently missing.

A partnership where the two people contribute different things. Read badly when one has taken on both roles.

Creative output meeting operational discipline. Associated with businesses at the point where the founder has to stop doing everything.

Ask which of the two the situation is short of. The pairing is rarely about their balance being right already.
