The Emperor is an older, wiser version of the Magician; his knowledge in handling affairs in a systematic way has given him the seat on the throne. He is holding the world in his left hand and a T square in his right. The world is represented in numerology by the number 4, which denotes creation of things. The T square is used in building and design, for mathematics and planning. This card represents the fashion in which things are done, a system to bringing things forth and manifest them. Starting with one, two, three, then finally four, which is the building number, putting all things together. The card in a reading showcases the inherent desire to control and dominate. This should be curbed as too much of a control may lead to destruction in relationships. It can also show some rigidity, ego, or some vice to be overcome. |
