The Emperor can be seen as the manifestation of the Empress’s wild
creative imaginings. The archetype
of leadership at its best, one who serves the people first, sacrificing the
self for the whole, the Emperor signals the maturity of the mission, a
stabilization of purpose. This is
the point on the journey where all seems possible.
Key words- Manifestation/ Authority/ Structure/ Leadership / Stability/ Containment/ Creative masculine imagination

The Emperor
“After
reading about the Emperor, I immediately thought of my father who embodied the
positive characteristics of the Emperor, a charismatic, trustworthy and
rational leader who was respected and admired, but also loved by many.
The
man depicted is not my father, but he represents one who believes in the law
and order of the natural world rather than one created by mankind. He
understands the balance and cycles of life and gives thanks for the gifts from
the Heavens and Earth. He realizes that his main purpose in life is to 'Fix the
World,' to be a role model for others in how to live in balance. He takes
his responsibility whole-heartedly and is willing to fight and die for
it.
The
Emperor is also very wise in knowing that the world is not in balance without
the Empress. He knows and respects her power, wisdom and characteristics that
are not his own. He knows his own balance comes partly from her and hers from
him, and without each other there could be chaos.
For
me, the Emperor represents my own journey to not only find balance in my own
life, but to be part of the greater responsibility of humankind to restore the
balance in our communities and to our world. He is a reminder for me to
work towards becoming a role model for our younger generations, through hard
work and sacrifice, as well as prayer, ceremony and love.”
