so I've been thinking about finally quitting my day job and selling my art full time. I did a reading about whether this is the right time and got the empress reversed in the outcome position
I always associated the empress with creativity and abundance but reversed feels like... a no? like maybe I'm not ready or it won't work out?
has anyone gotten empress reversed when asking about a creative venture or business? I dont know if this means I should wait or if I'm interpreting it wrong
ooh this is tricky. I pulled empress reversed when I was thinking about starting an etsy shop and I took it as "not the right timing yet" but honestly looking back I think I was just scared lol
what was the rest of your spread?
The Empress reversed in the outcome position doesn't necessarily mean no - it often speaks to blocked creativity or neglecting self-nurturing in the process.
Ask yourself: Are you rushing this from a place of desperation rather than abundance? The Empress reversed sometimes asks us to tend to our own needs first before birthing something new into the world.
The creative energy is there. It may just need more time to gestate before it's ready to emerge.
I got empress reversed about a similar thing last year!
for me it turned out to mean I needed to work on my relationship with money and self-worth before I could really succeed. like the business wasn't the problem, MY mindset was
ended up doing some journaling about it and 6 months later I started selling prints on the side. still have my day job but it's going well
thank you all sm for the responses. the self-nurturing thing really hit home because I've been so stressed about this decision I haven't actually been making art lately lol
maybe I need to focus on creating for joy again first and the business stuff will come when its ready
this thread is exactly what I needed to find rn
im in a similar boat - been wanting to open an etsy shop for my ceramics but every time I sit down to plan it out I just... freeze?? pulled empress reversed too last week and was like great even the cards think im a fraud lol
but reading what everyone said about creating for joy first is making me think maybe I should just make stuff without worrying about selling it for a while. did you end up setting aside "just for fun" time MelanieArts?
update for anyone who finds this thread later!
so I took the advice about creating for joy and started doing these little watercolor sketches every morning - just 15 mins, no pressure, not for sale. and honestly?? its been amazing. I forgot how much I actually LOVE making art when theres no expectation attached
the business stuff is on pause but im not stressed about it anymore. I think empress reversed was telling me I had the nurturing energy backwards - was trying to nurture the business before nurturing myself as an artist if that makes sense
@brushstrokes_jay yes!! definitely try it. even just 10 mins a day of making stuff nobody will ever see
