Tarot Insights: Does the Emperor always represent a man?
|
Reader, This question came up in my last class…is the Emperor always a man in a reading? He does represent the masculine, but we all have that duality within us. The balance of the masculine and feminine qualities. In a reading, he may not always represent a man but will represent the qualities that the Emperor holds. He can represent rules, structure, stability, discipline, force, control. Reversed it’s a lack of those qualities and even sometimes too much of those qualities. Like someone abusing their power or someone who really needs structure to function but avoids it. I’ll be honest, he’s not one of my favorite cards. The Emperor has many of the Aries qualities and as a Capricorn Sun…we don't always see eye to eye. The Emperor represents rules and structure, but with that fire energy, he can make decisions fast without fully considering the consequences. My Capricorn Sun also loves control and order, but she’s slow and considers her decisions carefully. If we look deeper at the image, we see a man with a regal robe over his armor and giving a little side eye. His robe is red which represents that Aries fiery passion, but underneath its armor. Is he ready for battle or is he extremely guarded and doesn't trust anyone? His side eye raises some questions: Is he looking around for threats? Is he not comfortable in his position? Is he looking around at other options? Does this person have a beautiful abundant life, but they are too busy looking around and comparing to truly appreciate it? The river is thin and baron. No longer lush with life like in the Empress card. This card does represent restriction of some sort. The context of any card will depend on the ones around it. So any of these may be true. These are all situations that we can encounter, no matter our gender identity. Ready to dive deeper into reading Tarot for yourself and others?

Newsletter Finding Your Village Remember a time when you and your partner had parenting all figured out? I certainly did. I had grand plans of being a stay-at-home mom, maintaining a pristine house, and whipping up delicious home-cooked meals every evening. After all, I believed I'd have plenty of free time since I wasn't commuting to the office every day. But, as many of you can relate, the reality was quite different—pure exhaustion, sore nipples, a perpetually messy house, and crayon art...
