The Emperor: Embrace The Wisdom On Offer

You’ve been dealt ‘The Emperor’, but what can that possibly say about your future? As a symbol of domination, stability, and responsibility, this card can have positive or negative effects depending on how it's drawn out. He represents power and authority, and his cold and closed attitude contrasts with the sensuality of his feminine counterpart, The Empress. 

This particular card is the father figure of the Tarot. As the Patriarch, he guides with wisdom and passes on his knowledge and experience to the youngest. In a draw, this card can evoke a power in the consultant's life, or evoke their difficulties in conforming to authority. It could mean a change of status towards a position of "power" is in progress. It's also a good indicator in a love draw because it can signal marriage.
