The Emperor IV

In a Nutshell

Authority, fatherhood and leadership. The Emperor rules an effective and efficient kingdom. Naturally strong, dominating and successful. He is disciplined and determined and works well within a structured environment. Sticking to the rules. Status, power, laws, rational arguement, patterns, reason and logic.

Larch Tarot's Experience of The Emperor

Mystic Mondays Tarot

After the intuitive influence of the High Priestess and the creativity of the Empress, the pattern and boundaries of the Emperor are quite welcome. The Emperor overseas while the work goes on. The day to day, bill-paying and grind work of creation can be honoured for its structure. I often have a negative gut reaction to The Emperor. A bit like how I often feel guilty when I see a policeman, even though I've never committed any crime ever! 

Logic and reason can be comforting with its boundaries and support but it can also be restrictive and infuriating. The way the template of this website forces me to set the layout in a certain way is becoming more annoying. I wonder if anyone reading finds navigating it counter-intuitive. It's been on my mind to change to another platform but that means learning new rules and ways of working. Maybe I should just breathe out and stay within these walls? It makes sense in theory. But it doesn't feel right.
