What does The Empress reversed mean?

While each card means something different, the direction of the card changes the meaning.

According to Labyrinthos, if you get The Empress reversed, it means that you have "lost too much of your own willpower and strength because you have started placing too much effort and concern to other people’s affairs."

Seeing the card reversed might mean that you need to work towards building confidence in your own actions and try your best to solve matters on your own.
