The Emperor

The Emperor, the father of the tarot cards, is the protagonist of our new blog entry today.

In times of chaos and instability we often crave for structure with rationality and pragmatism in the background as well as a policy towards solving problems through their analysis and understanding the parts that make up the whole structure. Organising our strategy through perseverance and thought through structure. And foremostly the expertise we can gain through learning about our life challenges.
The Emperor is a card which sets out the trip to achieve stability by resolution to be in charge. Being in charge here means to use tools such as your ability to be a teacher, a decision making persona whose experience is both valued and respected by creating rules.
This card has also the other side of it.
With power comes great responsibility as well as questions you might ask yourself when it comes to the interaction of other people. Asserting your power is one thing but leaving others in a position when they cannot fully express their own might be a counterproductive process and also unethical.
Individuals who gain from your expertise can be a little bit uneasy when it comes to bringing in their own experience into the picture. Why not help them?
The Emperor is also an invitation for taking up the action when you are in a situation such as dealing with hierachical organisation, a clash with authority that bears no "no" answers. You can come up to the conclusion that maybe it's better to be your own boss.
Last but not least it's also an invitation to perseverance, to commit to what you have promised to yourself. Your goals, your plans, everything that you wanted to achieve. Update your own guidelines by checking how much what you used before serves you now. The structure and healthy routines can come in handy.
