The Emperor
Card IV
Ruled By Aries
The
Emperor, a regal man in middle age, exudes confidence and
accomplishment. Crowned and dressed in ornate robes, he
surveys a barren domain. At his feet is a shield bearing
the device of an imperial eagle, symbol of worldly power
and aspiration.
The arms of his throne are decorated with ram's heads, and
the Emperor holds a septre with a ram's head. these
symbols related to the astrological sign of Aries, which
govern the card.
Only one side of face is seen. This suggests that the
Emperor is only concerned with one side of life. In a
woman's reading this card can show an important man with
paternal overtones.
Meaning: High honor, the achievement of ambition. It may
show an influential man whose help may be required. It is
the card of bosses and people in authority. The Emperor
represents the man in control in any given situation or
problem. To a woman, he may represent her husband or
father.
Reversed Meaning: Tyrannical attitudes and the abuse of
power. Ambitions unfulfilled and a carving for status.
