In Tarot, the Emperor card represents achievement, confidence, money, stability, leadership, achievement, and a capable individual. it also represents father/brother/husband. The throne, rams' heads, and occasionally the eagle, orb, and scepter are the basic symbols for this card. The Emperor is the first sign of the zodiac, since Aries (the Ram) is the newborn. He follows the Empress.
When you have the Emperor card upright in a Tarot reading, you might be assertive, brave, bold, and in power. The card may represent a tough boss or an enigmatic leader. You must assess whether what they are doing is objectionable. A terrible leader must be replaced. Only you will know if the individual is the right leader for you.
In a Tarot reading, the Emperor card reversed represents immaturity, indecision, petty sentiments, and a lack of strength and stability. It can refer to the sensation of being on shaky footing. It could also signal that an older male in your life is giving you trouble and behaving badly, and you are either outraged or impotent as a result. Perhaps this is an indication that you should defy authority, or perhaps you should listen to what he has to say and use only the information that is relevant to you. You are still in charge of yourself.
When the Emperor card appears in a Tarot love reading, it is usually a good sign. If you're single, it could suggest that you need to be more open to love and honest with yourself (and others!) regarding what you want. It could also suggest the arrival of an older man in your life. When you're in a relationship, you're on stable ground and in a genuine partnership, one of mutual support and cooperation.
