THE EMPEROR - TAROT CARD - THE MAJOR ARCANA CARD - DIAXNA
THE EMPEROR
Keys: stability • action • success • authority • balance • structure • reason • protection • discipline
The Message:
While this card points to being able to strategize and plan ahead, perhaps in the guise of time management, and structured routines and responsibilities, the Emperor also encourages us to take stock of our state of mind and powers of discernment. If you are experiencing stress due to external influences in your life, now may be a good time to maintain your focus on the task ahead and reassess how you are processing your thoughts.Very often when our minds are buzzing with clutter, our external world can end up being a bit chaotic and draining. The Emperor asks us to step up and be confident in who we are. He encourages us to take back our power and to distinguish thoughts and actions that are damaging or aggressive from those that are nurturing and positive. From here, we can begin to create order out of chaos, and be systematic with our plan of attack. Now is the time to be a strategic thinker in order to get things done!
Questions To Ask:
How can I take the initiative in order to manifest my goals
What steps will I need to take from here on?
Where do my strengths lie?
Reversed:
When reversed, the Emperor could indicate a rigid or stubborn mindset, which might be associated with someone who is overbearing and authoritative, or who lacks an inner spiritual connection. If you are seeking a more flexible and non-conformist lifestyle, now may be the time to speak your truth and break away from any limitations that have been imposed on you. You might need to detach from certain people in your life in order to heal from within and make positive changes.

THE MAJOR ARCANA
These are the juicy, potent keys in life that shake us to the core and fuel our hearts. Also known as trump cards, the Majors are numbered 0 (the Fool) to 21 (the World). These indicate universal archetypes found on the path to spiritual self-awareness, highlighting stages in life that we might encounter as we search for the meaning of it all. These lessons are traditionally reflected in the Fool’s Journey of the Majors as he meets each oracle and transitions through the three major planes of existence that show up in this Arcana:
The Physical/Material Plane: The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot
The Mental/Psychological Plane: Justice, The Hermit, The Wheel of Fortune, Strength, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance
The Spiritual/Astral Plane: The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgement, The World.
These connect to the journey of our spirit and the powerful forces that come into play. When these cards show up in readings, it is important to pay attention. Cards in the Major Arcana act as signposts to events, energies or people that are, or will be, significant in your life and story.
