The Emperor Tarot Card Meanings and Combinations
IV The Emperor Correspondences:
Astrology: Aries Element: Fire Keywords & Phrases: Leadership. Authority. Stability. The Emperor Tarot Card Meanings The Emperor in the Tarot represents those qualities traditionally associated with the male archetype. When this card appears in your Tarot reading it may signal the need for you to adopt similar qualities. The Emperor rules his domain with leadership and authority, prepared to take responsibility and with strong reasoning ability. It may signal the need to step into his shoes to take control of a situation from a strong position, setting aside emotion in favour of calm rationale. There are times in life when we need to assume a strong role to see us through, dealing with facts and logic rather than allowing emotions to get the upper hand. The Emperor is not the hearts and flowers type of guy, think more along the lines of the mythic warrior king, leading his people from the front with conviction; a strong protector striving to bring order and stability. This card is associated with Aries, which is ruled by Mars, which gives an indication of the power and force behind it. The Emperor is an excellent card for matters connected to work and business and can bring both success and stability to matters. It may represent a father figure or powerful male influence, one considered at the top of the tree; a ruler or an alpha male. If reversed, or badly aspected, it may signify a bullying type, conversely it may also point to a sense of lost masculinity, loss of power, lack of strength, failed leadership, inability to realize goals, instability, or problems with father or authority figures.
