The Emperor card is usually suggestive of stability and security in life. One is on top of things and everything is under control. It is hard work, discipline, self-control and rules and boundaries that have brought one this far.

Generally, if not representing a person in your life, The Emperor signifies the dominance of logic over emotion and of the mind over the heart. It signifies that concentration, structure, stability and focus is required if you want to make your ideas and dreams a reality. 

But The Emperor card is also associated with Mars and with Aries, the zodiac’s most passionate, confident, fiery, strong and sometimes stubborn sign. And we certainly see that energy in this artist’s particular rendition of the card.

So, if you are have difficulty manifesting your dreams, and if visualizing is easy but implementing is difficult, then Aries energy may help you move your spiritual energies into the world. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries energy is the gate to creating the life you want with purpose.

If The Emperor card does symbolize a person for you today, then it is likely either a demanding boss or a charismatic leader. You should decide which is which. A poor leader needs to move on. If he does not, then you must decide whether or not to move on yourself.

So, as you meditate on the Emperor, remember that his appearance today allows you to be assertive, brave, bold, and in command.
