THE EMPEROR
Description
The Emperor
sits on his solid, sturdy throne. It is the throne of the true King,
larger than his figure and masculine. You will notice the difference
between the throne of the Empress and the throne of the Emperor.
While the Empress is reclining, the Emperor sits upright with his spine
straight - an image of masculinity. His has a long beard indicating
he is wise and wears red robes - red being the traditional colour of maleness.
Underneath his robes he wears a suit of armor, indicating that although
he sits on the throne, he is by no means a sitting target.
The Emperor
represents all that is MALE is the same way the the Empress represents
all that is FEMALE.
Divinatory
Meaning
The Emperor
in a reading means male. It either means that the person is going to be
getting in touch with their masculine side or they will have an encounter
with someoe who is very male. Generally, I tend to see it as a manifestation
of all thigs that are male. This meaning that the person can expect success
in matters as a result of hard work and effort. It is not success that
comes easily as with other cards. However this is often beneficial as it
indicates that and gains acheived will be long-term in nature as the path
to them was properly paved. This card can represent a father or husband
in a womans spread or a father or male employer in a male spread.
However rest assured that this male will probably represent a man who is
most important in their lives.
