Romance, Love Or Relationships:

Organization or lack thereof can become an issue when The reversed Emperor shows in a reading. If you consider yourself to be an orderly, methodical person, you may have fallen for someone who is not (or that could be about to happen.) Consider where or how compromises can be made. If you do not the relationship has next to no chance of working.

The figure of the Emperor says much about the essential qualities of this card. We see a stern, commanding figure seated on a stone-slab throne. His back is straight, and his eyes meet ours directly. He is confident of his complete authority to rule. Just as the Empress embodies the female power and force, the Emperor encapsulates the male dynamic force in life. Here we find action, decisiveness and high energy. There are also many connections with fatherhood and kingship for the Emperor. This is a card that indicates responsibility, a sense of commitment, protection and strong leadership.

On a day ruled by the Emperor, we need to engage all our energies in order to take dynamic steps forward in life. This is a day which offers us terrific opportunities to forge ahead in important areas. Spiritually, we can often make big realisations, and receive clear divine guidance which resolves difficult or troublesome issues. So if your spirit is troubled by ethical issues, use this day to offer up these problems to the high powers, and await omens or directive. Remember also, that on a day ruled by the Emperor, there’s a special type of strength in the air. So, if you are feeling vulnerable or frail, reach out for the power of the Emperor’s influence, and be renewed! The Emperor can represent an encounter with authority or the assumption of power and control. As the regulator, he is often associated with legal matters, disciplinary actions, and officialdom in all its forms. He can also stand for an individual father or archetypal Father in his role as guide, protector and provider.

In general for any purpose involving empathy or the emotions.

Portable Magic: Lay out the circle of the zodiacal trumps in the usual way, beginning in the east with the Emperor on Aries and proceeding clockwise around the circle to the trump the Moon on Pisces. If you are sitting in the west facing east, Aries will be at the top of the circle from your perspective.

Tarot Triumphs: 5 I do of course respect the right of other authors to draw their own conclusions about the importance of Tarot numbers (for example, acclaimed Tarot specialist Rachel Pollack in Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot [San Francisco: Weiser Books, 1997]). However, I’d also suggest that developing full meanings for the seventy-eight cards is more profitable with a complete pictorial pack, such as the Rider-Waite pack, which she has used here.

Elements of the Psychic World: The issue of evidence – how many alignments over what distance – to validate a ley remains a hot topic among ley enthusiasts. Author John Michell gathered seductive evidence when he identified 22 alignments between 53 megalithic sites over 7-mile distances. Michell also pointed out similarities between the ley lines of Europe and the ‘dragon paths’ of China, which were thought to carry energy to the Emperor.
