Card 2 - Emperor

In the Emperor tarot card, a stoic ruler figure can be seen on his throne, which is adorned with the heads of four rams, representing his astrological sign - Aries. In one hand, he carries a scepter, representing his reign and his right to rule, and in the other an orb, a symbol of the kingdom that he watches over. The long beard of the emperor represents his vast experience; over time he has learned much about what it takes to rule, to establish power, authority and complete order for the benefit of his people. Behind him, the barren mountains shows his determination, his ambition for greater heights and his leadership capability. Contrast this with his complement, the Empress, whose flowing fields are filled with nurturing kindness. The Emperor instead rules with grit, strength and force.

Associations:

Similar or supporting cards:
Justice (logic and reason) Hierophant (conformity and structure) Ace of Swords (force of strength and power)

Opposing or contradictory cards:
The Emperor is the male yang to The Empress female yin, where the opposite forces of duality complement one another.
