The Empress represents the person who makes life feel more fertile, more creative, more full. He's experiencing what feels like a drought after losing your rain.

During No Contact

He's likely trying to replace the abundance you provided — either through other people or by attempting to create that richness himself.

If It's Been a Long Time
