Texto original de Waite (1911)
Simbolismo interior (original)
A stately figure, seated, having rich vestments and royal aspect, as of a daughter of heaven and earth. Her diadem is of twelve stars, gathered in a cluster. The symbol of Venus is on the shield which rests near her. A field of corn is ripening in front of her, and beyond there is a fall of water. The scepter which she bears is surmounted by the globe of this world. She is the inferior Garden of Eden, the Earthly Paradise, all that is symbolized by the visible house of man. She is not Regina coeli, but she is still refugium peccatorum, the fruitful mother of thousands. There are also certain aspects in which she has been correctly described as desire and the wings thereof, as the woman clothed with the sun, as Gloria Mundi and the veil of the Sanctum Sanctorum; but she is not, I may add, the soul that has attained wings, unless all the symbolism is counted up another and unusual way. She is above all things universal fecundity and the outer sense of the Word. This is obvious, because there is no direct message which has been given to man like that which is borne by woman; but she does not herself carry its interpretation.
In another order of ideas, the card of the Empress signifies the door or gate by which an entrance is obtained into this life, as into the Garden of Venus; and then the way which leads out therefrom, into that which is beyond, is the secret known to the High Priestess: it is communicated by her to the elect. Most old attributions of this card are completely wrong on the symbolism—as, for example, its identification with the Word, Divine Nature, the Triad, and so forth.
Significado original del derecho
Fruitfulness, action, initiative, length of days; the unknown, clandestine; also difficulty, doubt, ignorance.
Significado original invertido
Light, truth, the unravelling of involved matters, public rejoicings; according to another reading, vacillation.

The shield carries the sign of Venus, but the crown of twelve stars is Marian iconography — and Waite drew a line under it deliberately.
Documented imagery
Attested by surviving objects or texts
She and the Emperor are a pair of secular sovereigns
In the early decks this card is L'Imperatrice, the Empress, paired with L'Imperatore, the Emperor, depicting the highest worldly office. Read together with the Popess and Pope pair, the head of the triumphal procession is two symmetrical sets of offices: the ecclesiastical and the secular, each with a man and a woman. This is a diagram of Renaissance social order, not a pantheon.

The shield of Venus and the garden of Venus
Waite states that the shield beside her bears the device of Venus, and calls entry into this life by way of this card an entrance "as into the Garden of Venus." Venus in the Roman pantheon corresponds to Greek Aphrodite. The Golden Dawn attribution is Venus as well (Hebrew letter Daleth). The field of ripe grain in front of her and the running water behind her are fertility imagery Waite added.

The crown of twelve stars comes from Revelation, and Waite drew a line
She wears a crown of twelve stars, and Waite also uses the phrase "the woman clothed with the sun" — from Revelation 12:1, one of the most fixed formulas in images of the Virgin. He goes so far as to borrow two titles from the Marian litany: Regina coeli, queen of heaven, and refugium peccatorum, refuge of sinners. And then he writes immediately afterwards: "She is not Regina coeli." This is the second time he puts a tradition's iconography on a card and then refuses the identity that comes with it — exactly what he does with Isis in the High Priestess entry.

Demeter and the earth mother: a modern juxtaposition
Because there is grain on the card, she is often read as Demeter, the Greek goddess of corn, or as a generic earth mother. The grain field is genuinely there, but the frame Waite gives is the inferior Garden of Eden, the earthly paradise, plus Marian iconography — not Greek agricultural myth. Connecting her to Persephone's mother makes for a smooth line of talk. That line was run by modern teaching material.
