- A man with energy 3 in the Destiny Matrix understands women well, feels comfortable among female colleagues and stays close to his mother all his life.
- In its minus, energy 3 shows up as bossiness, excessive control over loved ones, pride and a habit of judging people by status and wealth.

The third energy in the Destiny Matrix corresponds to The Empress. It is the energy of conception, fertility and abundance, the energy of Mother Earth and the Mistress of Destiny. It is the most feminine energy in the matrix, yin by nature, and it is tied to creating, nurturing and earthly goods: home, family, children and status.
The three gives power and authority. People with this energy aim for leadership roles and make excellent managers and organisers. For them, the main signs of fulfilment are financial stability, success and social standing, and a house, a car and comfortable holidays become the symbols of that success.
The three makes a woman an empress. Fate gives her good looks, charm and femininity, the ability to earn and a natural nose for profit. Her power shows through love, kindness and order at home, not through pressure. She respects her man, helps him grow and can inspire him to prosper. When she pays attention to her feminine nature, she draws through her husband all the wealth she could wish for.
This is a truly feminine energy, but it often appears in a man's matrix too. It is usually read differently for men and women, though one approach gives the three the same meaning for both sexes. A man with the three understands women very well, feels at ease among female colleagues and stays close to his mother all his life. He often has women who act as patrons. The third and fourth energies are similar and show how important the balance of masculine and feminine is within a person, so a man needs to raise the vibration of his three to the truly masculine energy of the Master of Destiny.
The life mission of the three is to increase material well-being on Earth in any field. By their own example, these people teach others to prosper, to love Mother Earth and be grateful for her gifts, and to reach great heights through wisdom, gentleness and good judgement. A woman with the three should ideally start a family, have children and hold a certain status in life.
- A home that overflows with good things: comfort, order, beautiful and well-made things, care for your husband, children, pets and plants.
- Leadership and a gift for organising: business, senior positions, social standing, wise rule.
- You attract material wealth and know how to receive good things passively. Everything you touch starts to bear fruit and flourish.
- Good taste in food and clothes, a sense of style, a love of luxury and five-star holidays.
- Responsibility and reliability: you look after your body as well as you look after your home and children, you solve your family's problems and never leave people in trouble.
- Openness, kindness, warmth and generosity: you give people money, gifts, attention and affection.
- In women: femininity, sensuality and grace, the joy of motherhood, luck in business, running a business in a feminine way, a good relationship with your mother or mother-in-law.
- In men: romance, sensuality, an understanding of women, the role of a devoted family man and caring father, a willingness to run the household.
- A creative nature, a love of art, nature and animals.
- Stability in everything: long relationships, a steady job, confidence in the future.
- Bossiness, pressure, a commanding tone, overprotection and too much control over children and loved ones.
- Pride and arrogance: a “crown on the head”, looking down on people, boasting about achievements, abuse of power, a sense that anything goes.
- People are judged by their status and their wallet. The material is put above the spiritual, and greed, mercenary motives and a wish to take more than you give appear.
- Obsession with looks, possessions and household problems, a compulsive need to own someone or something. The opposite extreme: neglecting yourself and letting the home fall into disorder.
- Excessive fear and anxiety about the lives, health and success of loved ones, unrealistic expectations of other people.
- Demanding extra attention, impatience, touchiness, an inability to forgive, hysteria and vulnerability, or else being closed off and unemotional.
- Rejecting other women and clashing with them, problems with your mother or daughter, refusing to forgive your mother.
- In women: dominating a man and suppressing his masculine energy, conflicts with the husband, jealousy, workaholism, a marriage of convenience, not wanting children, abortions, withdrawal into loneliness.
- In men: weakness and too much emotion, dependence on women and on the mother, running from responsibility, living off a woman, drinking, frequent changes of partner, stinginess and slovenliness. When the spiritual and the material fall apart, despotism appears, along with cruelty to the weak and to subordinates and a fight for power by any means, which ends in losing that power.
- Not accepting your own nature: in women, the image of “a man in a skirt”; in men, trying to look tougher through pumped-up muscles and a beard.
In different points of the chart
The same energy is read differently depending on where it stands.
3 · In the day of birth · point A
A three in your day of birth describes an emotional, creative person with strong feminine qualities. You are kind, warm-hearted and genuinely caring towards people. The other side of this portrait is a tendency towards self-admiration, materialism and control over others.
Women born under this energy are attractive and take great care over their appearance. Social and family status matter a lot to them. They know how to set up a business, often become leaders and attract strong, caring men who will do anything for them. Men born on the 3rd are drawn to female company and to housework.
Both men and women show a creative approach to life, a vivid imagination and attention to other people's needs. You are altruistic: you are ready to sacrifice your own interests for others.
In its minus, in women this energy turns into despotism, bossiness, capriciousness and excessive control over loved ones, including children. Looks and material goods start to push out spiritual growth. Men tend to be too soft, henpecked and to escape responsibility under a woman's protection. Regardless of sex, there may be greed and hoarding, excess in food, entertainment and spending, vanity, laziness and procrastination, intrusive meddling in other people's lives, and an inability or unwillingness to deal with everyday chores.
3 · In the month · point B
A three in your month of birth speaks of a gift from above: the energy of Mother Earth, fertility and prosperity. When you trust it, the Universe helps you gain a home, a family, children and status with ease. Women play an important part in your life: they become your guides and mentors.
People of the third arcana have an innate love of self and a talent for caring for family and children. They manage money sensibly. God gives women outer beauty, charm and femininity; their money channel is open and good things come to them on their own. They are big-hearted, kind and generous. A man with the three feels at home in female company: he has a gift for understanding women, enjoys their attention and knows more about many women's matters than other men. Female influence does you good: women share their experience, give valuable advice, guide and support you.
In this position your guardian angel may be a mother figure, loving or overprotective, young or with many children, a pregnant woman, a helper. It may be an influential, powerful woman: a female boss, a director, a woman politician, a rich and respected regal figure, a businesswoman with a profitable company, a lady of good taste, someone who does their job well. The same number stands for sisters and aunts, a mother-in-law, a mature married woman, a wife, a beloved woman, a mistress, a man with a strong feminine side. You yourself can also be the guardian angel.
This is the energy of Aphrodite, Hera, Demeter and the Mother of God, of the element of Earth and of nature. Blocks arise in everyday life when you stop seeing beauty, control and pressure others and so suppress your own femininity. It is important to be free of attachments and of a burning desire to own things. Then every height and every blessing of the Universe comes easily.
- Notice beauty in every part of everyday life and develop your sense of aesthetics. The more beauty you see, the stronger your connection with the Higher powers.
- Accept the woman within you and let women into your life, understand what they want, and forgive your resentment towards your mother.
- Develop your femininity: grow your hair, wear dresses and skirts, use make-up.
- Treat the Earth and everything it gives with gratitude. Give it your negativity and recharge with positive energy. Join women's communities, work and actively engage with women.
3 · In the year · point C
A three in your year of birth sets the task of balancing leadership with not suppressing others and listening to their views. A woman needs to develop her feminine qualities, a man his masculinity and sense of responsibility. The most important thing for both is to let go of control over loved ones.
A woman with a three in her year of birth needs to develop traditional feminine qualities and her creative nature. In a relationship with a man she needs to be flexible. She should support and inspire her partner, respect him and give him freedom, without trying to suppress or re-educate him. With other women, especially her mother, daughter and female relatives, she should be respectful.
A man needs to build self-control, resilience and a sense of responsibility. His task is to provide for himself and his family and to become a reliable support for his chosen partner. He should build his relationships with women on trust and respect.
It is important to see your children as independent people and to let them go in good time. Housework should not swallow all your time. When duties are shared out sensibly, there is room left for self-development, creativity and social life.
- Speak gently, without a commanding tone.
- Instead of indignation, come to acceptance and forgiveness.
- Teach your children to love the land and nature.
- Men: develop generosity, share your resources easily and help people.
3 · In the bottom corner · point D
A three in the karmic point shows up as repeating events. In them you can recognise greed, arrogance, pettiness, the temptation of power, an obsession with material goods and a wish to control everything, and at worst this karma brings childlessness. A man has to build the right relationships with women, a woman has to mend her relationship with her mother and secure her own material comfort.
For a man, the karmic task concerns women, and first of all his mother. He should consciously develop his masculinity, take on a leading male role, learn to make decisions, take responsibility and be an authority for his family.
A woman needs to give more time to her family than to her work. Her life goal is linked to carrying out material plans on earth: providing people with enough so that they live in abundance and prosperity. It does her good to literally fall in love with the land, plant a garden and treat Mother Earth and all her gifts with gratitude.
The urge to control loved ones often grows out of fears and worries about their lives, health and well-being. It is important to recognise these fears and push them into the background. Working off the karma is helped by healthy relationships with children, with men and with women, a warm and cosy atmosphere at home and at work, and comfortable living conditions. Being a good housewife and manager of the household, keeping the material side of life in order and having no financial debts also help.
- Get rid of bossiness, self-importance and the urge to impose your views on others.
- Learn patience, forgiveness and acceptance. Judge people by their inner qualities and treat women with respect, especially your mother and daughter.
- Do not stay alone; build romantic relationships. Women should avoid dominating a man and making excessive demands.
- Let go of your fixation on appearance and of the compulsive wish to own something or someone. Do not put material values above spiritual ones.
3 · In the centre · comfort zone
A three in the centre of the matrix describes your comfort zone: order, cosiness, convenience, beautiful and well-made things. You draw energy from caring for others, from making your home and garden beautiful and from the parent's role, and not necessarily towards your own children. You need social fulfilment, respect and love.
Your strength comes where everything is orderly and structured. You are filled up by the feeling that those weaker than you are safe with you. You feel comfortable when there is someone to lead and give orders to. Behind this lies a need for motherhood and care: to have your own “palace”, a son, and to be cared for.
A man with a three in his comfort zone draws strength from female company, and the more women around him, the better. He is comfortable talking to his mother, wife and daughter. His support comes from harmony between his inner man and inner woman and from understanding what women want.
Society sees you as a person of power and authority. People recognise an empress in a woman with the three. You like to be the centre of attention, and your house, car and social standing tell others about your success.
- Aim to live well and prosper, but without getting too attached to material things. Let go and stay in the flow of abundance.
- Open your heart and share your resources with those in need. Let go of anxious worry and needless burdens, trust the divine source, and treat people as equals.
- Stop controlling your family, stop giving orders and speak without a commanding tone. See your children and loved ones as independent people, and give grown-up children their freedom in good time.
- Bring harmony to your relationship with your mother and your mother's line, work through resentment towards your mother and the women of your family, and respect other women.
- Women need to accept their feminine energy and drop excessive control and hardness of character. Women's practices, dance, yoga and stretching help. There is enough energy for everything: for yourself, for your family and for your own path.
- Men should keep in mind the image of The Emperor, who rules through understanding and kindness, learn to take responsibility for themselves and their family, and not sink entirely into feminine energies. There is no need to deny your sensitive, delicate nature: it gives you an edge in understanding women.
- Grow spiritually and do not drown in household routine. Find a balance between housework, your own creative work and a social life outside the family.
- Love nature and the Earth and pass that love on to your children. Take leadership roles and rule with love and peace.

Questions people ask
What does energy 3 mean in the Destiny Matrix?
It is The Empress, the most feminine energy in the matrix: the energy of fertility, abundance, motherhood and power. For a person with the three, home, family, children, wealth and social status matter most, and they make good leaders and organisers. Their mission is to increase material well-being on Earth and teach people to love its gifts.
How does energy 3 show up in its minus?
Bossiness, pressure and excessive control over children and loved ones appear, along with pride and a habit of judging people by status and money. A woman starts to dominate a man and clashes with other women, her mother or her daughter. A man becomes weak, dependent on women and on his mother, and runs from responsibility.
How do you bring energy 3 into its plus?
Stop controlling your loved ones, speak without giving orders and let grown-up children go in good time. Mend your relationship with your mother and the women of your family, share your resources and do not cling to material things. A woman needs to accept her femininity, a man needs to learn to take responsibility for himself and his family.
What does energy 3 mean for a man?
A man with the three is gentle, sensitive and romantic; he understands women well, feels comfortable among female colleagues and stays close to his mother all his life. He is a good family man and a caring father, and often has a woman who acts as his patron. He needs to develop his masculine qualities, raising the three to the energy of the Master of Destiny, and step out from under his mother's influence.
Does a woman with energy 3 have to have children?
Ideally, a woman with the three should start a family and have children: this is the energy of fertility, and as a rule she does have them. If she does not want children of her own, she can bring the arcana into its plus by working with women or children. There is also a stricter view: not wanting children points to ancestral programmes and parent–child karma, and with the three in the third purpose, a life without children will be full of difficulties.
What does energy 3 mean in the Destiny Matrix?
Energy 3 in the Destiny Matrix matches the arcanum The Empress. Like each of the 22 energies it shows in a plus and in a minus, and its meaning depends on the point where it stands.
