4 - The Emperor
The Fool journeys to The Emperor where he meets the earthly father. Here The Fool realises that maturity is needed, as are facts and logic. The Emperor is a masculine card of mind over emotion, indicating that it is time to focus on facts and take decisive action. The buck stops here for The Fool, as The Emperor is the King of Kings and the ultimate soldier. The Fool understands that honesty is required, as is a forceful attitude in the face of problems and strong leadership. Here he must roll up his sleeves for some real hard work, have no excuses, and discipline his mind to succeed.
We find with this card that we need to take control of events, situations, and ourselves, as we are where the buck stops and we are the ones who need to take hold of matters with a sincerely logical outlook.
While The Emperor is a strong, masculine, and bold figure who can be in authority over you, or a mature paternal figure who can assist, if that is not an issue, then it is time for us to be the authority we or someone else requires.
Here a stubborn, totally honest, organised, and methodical route is needed, and we find that we need to aim for stability and strength to display confidence. Now is not the time for illusions, as The Emperor does not entertain such whims of fancy.
Success is present here, as is the need to achieve and to rule a situation with a firm yet fair hand. Emotions need to take a back seat, as facts should be followed and responsibility taken.
If you wish to know if you will succeed, yes, that is a big possibility, as long as you stay focused, do not let emotions drift in, and act with determination as this card wins! We have to be willing to fight for what is right and what is needed, even if others find it doing what is best for the situation is called for.
Be strict but also compassionate; fairness should be your measuring stick.

I just recently purchased Understanding Tarot. I wish I had this book when I began learning Tarot a few years back. Simply fabulous. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is into Tarot. It is the best book I have found on learning and understanding Tarot. The description of the cards along with the details and summaries of what the cards represent are amazing!!

Pam has always given me very insightful readings. Sometimes when I get my hopes up too high I know I can come to her for a dose of realism. She explains situations and people clearly and helps me know how best to move forward in a more realistic way. It has helped me avoid disappointment when things don't turn out as I'd like or move as smoothly as I would wish. Highly recommend! Thank you again Pam!
