Updated: Oct 10

The Emperor and The Empress together are a power couple of the Tarot Deck. Unlike the Empress who is soft natured and caring, the Emperor is strict, disciplined and a believer in order and structure. Let us see further.

The Emperor Tarot

The Emperor Tarot Meaning - General

The Emperor is generally considered to be an older father like figure who is good in business and is also wealthy. This could be you or someone around you.  Interpret the below messages accordingly as applying to you or to someone around you, or as an attribute needed for the situation.

While the Empress was about mothering qualities of care and nurturing, the Emperor is about fathering qualities of protecting and defending.  The Emperor is someone who guides towards growth and offers comfort and security to those around him.

Number 4 can be linked to the four pillars of a structure that give it strength and foundation. Similarly, the Emperor likes order, structure, and discipline. He is a task master and likes things to be regulated and process driven. You are like the father figure around who is solid, grounded and looked up to by everyone for sound advice and guidance.

The Emperor can also indicate that you are being too serious with no time or tolerance for fun and frivolity.

The Emperor is symbolic of claiming your personal power back. When this card appears, it could be a message to you that you need to pull yourself up and start feeling and exerting your personal power to get things done.

On the negative, this can indicate a person who is too rigid and stubborn. The Emperor can be unwilling to listen to views of others and has high expectations from others.

Let us look at the Emperor in specific contexts of a love tarot reading and career tarot reading. Remember to apply all the above general readings to the below readings as well.

The Emperor - Love

You or your partner could be playing a significant or leadership role in steering the relationship ahead towards a goal and creating a strong foundation.

Be careful that one of you is not too stubborn or controlling in the relationship.  It might be good to define roles and responsibilities in relationships so that there is clarity on expectations from each other.

Love Reading for Singles

The Emperor could suggest that singles might find or attract someone with the qualities of the Emperor viz. stable, reliable, committed and a powerful sense of self.

This card can also indicate a certain perspective or approach to be followed by singles in their relationships.  If you have felt less confident earlier, this card could suggest approaching relationships with a lot more self-confidence and self-assuredness. Remember the Emperor is about power. So, this is time to claim that power and feel confident about yourself before seeking new love.
