As I read various interpretations of the Empress the theme as mother, as the womb, fertility and generosity kept coming up. I think Molly personifies this. Apart from the 7 children she also seems to 'mother' anyone else who needs it, Harry, Hermione, Remus and Tonks on occasion. She will take on anything and everything to protect her babies if she feels they are threatened.
She does how ever often slip into the flip side of the mother. Smothering, jealous, not knowing when to let go.
The pic was all about symbolism and I looked at the components usually used and found out what they mean and then substituted stuff from Molly's life that had the same meanings. Hence the rolling pin as a sceptre, it's a symbol of Molly's control and creativity.
The flowers, herbs and fruit show the fertility along with her physical traits such as the rounded belly, her curves, her sagging breasts.
The worn arm chair instead of a stone thrown also represents her personality and her life/The Burrow. It is old and worn but serviceable, comfortable and strong.
