The Emperor No 4 in the Major Arcana

Good morning everyone.Today we are taking a look at the authoritative masculine energy of the The Emperor, Number 4 in the Major Arcana.

The Emperor is the number 4 representing structure, order and discipline. Like the Empress is the female archetype so the Emperor is the male figure or father figure. He is the representation of structure and authority. In terms of the Fool’s Journey this is the point that he encounters rules and the necessity for order. This is all about the confines and restrictions of living in a material physical world.

In a reading this card can come up indicating a promotion or opportunity to show your abilities of organisation, planning and discipline. Often in a spread this can be an older person, usually a man that you respect and look to for advice. He may be a senior management type who has a lot to do with the rules, regulations and running of a business or he could be a legal or financial advisor. They may be very experienced but also very stubborn in their viewpoints; wise but stubborn.

If you draw The Emperor today then you will need to be organised and disciplined and to work hard to achieve all that you have to do. Perhaps you need to take the advice of someone older, wiser and more experienced in your field or you may need to act "the boss" in some respect.

🦉🦉🦉🙏 Have a happy and productive day!
