Well, after enjoying the Stories in Hand class over at Jessica Sprague.com, I decided to go ahead and take the Up and Running class to learn Photoshop. I've just finished lesson 1, here's the result.
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

I love your layout. I am looking forward to taking the class also but am afraid that it will have to wait until after the first of the year. I have to buy a new computer so in February I will be treating myself to a new laptop and Jessicas class. I loved the SIH class and look forward to taking more. See you around the Spraground.
