The Emperor is the Fourth major arcana card of the tarot deck. If the Empress is a symbol of femininity, the Emperor is the symbol of masculinity. The ram heads on his chair represent the astrological sign of Aries which is ruled by Mars the planet of passion, anger, and war. Notice that Mars is the opposite of Venus, the ruling planet of the empress. The Emperor wears a white beard showing that he is old and experienced; this could suggest that he is wise. He is like a fatherly figure and he represents security, stability, and the ability to make plans a reality. If this card comes up in a reading, it may mean you yourself have taken on the traits described and have the willpower to make your dreams reality but you should be careful to use your head. When this card is reversed it could mean that you are overusing power or have a problem with other authority figures, as well as general relationship problems or lack of self control.
