4. The Emperor

Sometimes The Emperor card comes up in a reading as a confrontation with The Patriarchy.Sometimes it’s a call to heal The Father Wound.Other times it’s a reminder of your own power.The Emperor, at its best and as it applies to your own personal development, is about self authority, strong boundaries, and refusing to be a victim of life... even when life is unfair or you feel like you’ve been handed the s**t end of the stick. Even if we feel like we were born with the s**t end, The Emperor is here to remind us that we’ve still got hold of the proverbial stick and it’s time to start swinging it around and making some moves with it on our own behalf. It’s your agency coming online through a masculine expression of life force energy, and you can use that… for good.*OUT NOW!
