Card Meaning
The Emperor is the highest authority in a country and represents male power, symbolizing patriarchal supremacy. His expression is stern, intimidating the world as he expands his territory. The Emperor possesses the power to dominate the material world, representing moral precepts and prohibitions. When upright, the Emperor primarily represents rationality, order, authority, and glory. However, it cannot be denied that the Emperor can be either a wise ruler or a tyrant, so the Emperor card can be both good and bad. His lofty demeanor may always subdue his people, but it also gives a sense of loneliness at the top. When predicting relationships, whether the Emperor card is upright or reversed, it often carries the meaning of emotional detachment to some extent.
