4:   The Emperor

BACK Scan through the Tarot cards NEXT

BOTA (Builders of the Adytum)

Universal Waite

1.   Fatherhood; responsibility. 2.   Stability (social structure). 3.   Government, and governmental authority (sometimes oppressive). 4.   Getting things under control; giving orders (think of Donald Trump building the border wall). The Emperor creates order and stability. 5.   Law enforcement; the creation of boundaries. 6.   Reason and logic.

COMMENTS:

"An accumulation of experience has led you to a place where you are confident about your decisions."

I think of this as the "Father Knows Best" card.

"Pay attention to the rules of society rather than the direct experience of nature."
