Possible keywords: Order, structure, leadership, organization

The Emperor is the Divine Father, the protector and builder of our world. He is the organizing force in our lives, the necessary guiding light that helps us manifest our practical needs and keeps us on track when the wind inevitably blows. “Stand firm, stand tall,” he counsels, reminding us to focus and channel our energy toward attaining our goals. He may represent this energy in the shape of another person but more likely the Emperor is the masculine principle within us, the active yang energy of agency and action. He takes control of a situation and sets boundaries where necessary. He is the steady hand that helps us find our way through the chaos of life. The Emperor always reminds me to bring my brain back into the equation. He inspires me to take responsibility for my actions.
