The Emperor

Nancy Dailey

The emperor leads rather than follows, and stands for achievement and authority; has a strong self image, and is a provider. The planetary sign for this card is Aries, which is a sign of energy, leadership, and assertiveness. The mountains represent power; the globe of fire represents leadership, strength, power and energy. The number 4 is symbolic of the builder, the organizer.

The focus of this card is self-development. Balance is the key. Without it, one must watch so one does not become self-absorbed, opinionated, bossy, and controlling.
