Surprisingly, the Emperor placed his throne in the lap of nature, in the fresh air. Behind him rises a majestic mountain range and a river flows.
Perhaps for the first time in the Waite-Smith deck, such clear and numerous indications of parallels between the Emperor and the sign of Aries appear. Unlike the Marseille Tarot, there is armor underneath its toga. Perhaps in this way Waite wanted to emphasize the meaning of the Emperor Tarot card as belligerence, his penchant for forceful decisions, determination and inflexibility.

Secrets of tarot cards, Emperor, lasso 4 in direct and inverted meaning. Description and recommendations
Generally speaking, Arcanum 4 belongs to the group of positive cards and its appearance in layouts is interpreted as reliability and care. Many people decipher the meaning of the Emperor card in the tarot as a dictate.
General description of the Emperor card
Note. The emperor is always right, so he acts from a position of strength in order to convince that he is right.
Emperor upright
Implementation of plans is the main motto of Arkan. In a normal situation, these are serious and real prospects. Arcana Tarot, Emperor, if he plans something, then before implementing the plans, he must check everything exactly. Actions must be consistent and logical.
Direct positions
Without the conviction that this is the correct path, the Emperor will not step forward in the tarot.
If we talk about a general description, then the map helps to bring any matter to its logical conclusion. This is management of completely different aspects of life:
- Putting things in order.
- Clear recommendations and confidence in their implementation.
- At the same time, everything is carried out according to the rules and regulations, with a capital letter of the law.
Note. When fortune telling a situation, the card will indicate to you that your issue will be resolved thanks to a powerful person; the outcome of the situation does not depend on you.
Sometimes the surrounding arcana will tell you whether the influence of this person will be positive or whether you will be tripped up. After all, power has two sides to the coin.
The meaning of tarot cards, the Emperor reversed and its significance in readings
Completely opposite meaning. Common sense and clear planning are in short supply. Loss of confidence in one’s own “I”, inability to achieve a goal.
In a nutshell, your plans will not come true, you will not have enough strength, will and maturity.
Emperor in tarot, meaning in reverse position
Key points of the card:
- Sometimes this position comes across as a warning: failure at work due to a boss who constantly opposes you.
- Or your stubbornness interferes with the implementation of your plans.
- Someone, or the fortuneteller himself, represents a real hero who has been overthrown from the throne.
- Sometimes, under this card a person falls like a false boss. He doesn’t manage anything, there are just people behind him who dictate their own rules.
Emperor reversed (tarot), the meaning in relationships suggests that:
- The person denies authoritarianism and does not take part in the lives of his family and friends (bad father).
- Complete disregard for order and generally everything correct and orderly.
- Bad masculinity.
- A person is always dissatisfied with life, creating a conflict situation around himself.
Emperor - meaning in relationships
At this point, any relationships with relatives, friends, and companions will be significantly strengthened. All unreliable and deceitful individuals will leave your life, only time-tested, reliable people will remain. Be careful, as not everyone can adequately perceive your greed and desire for absolute security and maximum stability.
Such disagreements can lead relationships to a dead end. In the relationship between a man and a woman, the Emperor has a double meaning. Do not forget that this lasso means absolute power, which means the person who is identified with the Emperor must be the master of the house, his word is law, he makes decisions, eliminates problems, and patronizes his relatives.
Such a man will dominate and can impose his opinion (the Strength or Hierophant cards located nearby will tell you this). The Emperor and Empress cards lying next to each other will indicate a harmonious and stable relationship.
If the lasso falls to a young girl, this may indicate that she is looking not for a partner, but for a “daddy,” a patron who will worry about everything himself, and she will only need to have time to agree with him on everything.
If the Emperor appears in a reading of relationships between young people, this indicates that the girl has a very domineering father and he may regard the young man as a rival.
The meaning of the 4th arcana in the Manara tarot deck
If this card falls, it’s for a reason; it is considered quite active in any scenario. If you pay attention to the picture, the red color carries with it very strong energy and power.
Emperor, Manara tarot and its meaning
A girl is sitting and a powerful warrior comes out to her from the depths of the sea. The question is who are you: a warrior or a girl? If you feel like a warrior, then take action and move forward. If you find yourself in the role of a girl, then accept the role of the victim and look for reliable support for yourself.
Example. To the question: Can the emperor card in the Manara tarot be considered as the answer “yes” to a question about marriage? The meaning of the card is as follows: love, sensitivity and understanding will rarely be traced in your relationship. But perfect order, like in the army, is guaranteed. Family life will be without romance, but everything will be correct and orderly. And what is typical is that both partners will be satisfied with this. The answer is yes.
Tarot cards, major arcana Emperor in Crowley's deck
The basic interpretation is intelligence, power, control, submission. This is a STRONG POWER that can manifest itself in absolutely any area of life.
Note. The lasso indicates paternal qualities, the head of the family and a reliable person.
Thoth Tarot Emperor, 5th Arcana
This can also be a very strong and wise ruler who thinks not only about himself, but also about his people.
The shadow side is completely opposite qualities.
On a psychological level
The person has a clear vision and understanding of how everything should work and how it will be. A person has no compromises, he only acts realistically and clearly. Sometimes such strong qualities can turn a person into a notorious egoist.
On a psychological level
Tarot advice: Don’t go too far, try to find the middle, even though it’s difficult for you.
Emperor Thoth Tarot in his mind is an uncompromising realist, in whose head a clear structure is built. Such an individual greatly values order in everything. The card can also communicate the internal ability to feel strong and powerful, which can subsequently lead to selfishness and elevating oneself above others.

How to determine time using a map? Owner and zodiac sign
With the major arcana, the situation is a little more complicated in determining time than with the minor ones. It is generally accepted that you can use numbers, images and your own intuition.
Emperor + zodiac sign
Look at the activity of the lasso itself; the more mobile it is, the faster events will happen. Considering that the Emperor is a stable card, events will not happen so quickly.
Let's rely on the zodiac sign, Aries falls here. This means that the situation that they are guessing will happen around this time: March-April.
Like Aries, the Emperor combines the following qualities:
- Common sense.
- Discipline.
- Responsibility.
- Pragmatism.
- Tenacity.
- Power and despotism.
Key points: loyalty, confidence, patronage, reliability.
Description of the plot and designation in layouts
The fourth lasso of the Tarot depicts an elderly ruler sitting on a throne in a rather tense position. The throne is quite primitive and carved from ordinary stone. The ruler’s face expresses concern, and his eyes show firmness.
The background of the card depicts mountains with poor vegetation and a red sky, symbolizing Mars and is a sign of the aggressive god of war and masculinity.
In some images of the card, you can also see rams' heads decorating the throne of the emperor and denoting the zodiac sign Aries. And therefore this card opens the zodiac circle.
And the main meaning of the Emperor Tarot card often comes down to justified and powerful power. And the owner depicted on it acts as the head of the family, leader or boss.
And his power is characterized by rudeness, since it is based on a certain idea of the denial of feelings and the absolute superiority of reason. But at the same time, the emperor is a symbol of divine mercy extended to all subjects.
Often this card personifies a born leader who has great ambitions and a certain goal to leave a noticeable mark in the vast world.
And therefore he competently organizes his own affairs and is constantly responsible for his family and his actions. And he simultaneously combines stubbornness and aggressiveness with balance and inner wisdom.
It is they who make it possible to balance the various affairs and actions performed by the emperor, who is a born leader.
In fortune telling for attitude and love
If the fortuneteller is a woman, then this may indicate that she is looking for a man who should become her patron, like a father, who can protect her and solve all her problems, including financial ones.
Marriage where the man is older than the woman
Note. The Emperor tarot card for a woman appears as a mature man who is laying the foundation for a long-term relationship and fighting for this woman.
If fortune telling is performed on a man, then the card advises this: be more persistent, take the bull by the horns and everything will work out. Since the Emperor tells him that in his life he will meet exactly the woman-beloved who will become his soul mate.
Perfect family
The meaning in relationships and love suggests that the couple under the “Emperor” card will help each other and balance male and female energy.
Here are some examples
For example, in a tarot reading for future relationships, you got an inverted Priestess and an upright Emperor, how to decipher? The priestess is a mystery woman, and the one upside down is a lying, hypocritical, homewrecker.
A good, prosperous male Emperor will fall into the trap of a mysterious person and will be too dependent on her.
A man is afraid of a serious relationship
Here is another example of what the question in tarot means: why did a man behave this way? The Emperor fell out upside down. Probably, the woman met a weak, irresponsible man who was afraid of a serious relationship.
In fortune telling for work and career
In business and career, the 4th lasso indicates that the fortuneteller wants to organize all his affairs and fulfill long-standing desires and plans. In a nutshell, the old mechanism is starting to be put into action.
This is a planned concept, discipline and determination, a willingness to take full responsibility for all of your decisions.
Implications for the situation in business and work
You will need to work hard, since everything that will be created in the future will only be done through your own efforts.
Decoding an inverted card
- No career growth is expected at work.
- There is pressure from management.
- If this is a business, then you do not have enough strength to conduct business correctly or the business is being conducted incorrectly from the very beginning.
Advice. Don’t start new things, nothing will work out, the situation is doomed to failure.
Straight Emperor
The Emperor represents power and government. The person who is the subject of fortunes has an iron will. The lasso symbolizes the theological quartet, strength and sovereignty. He says everything is fine, everything is under control. The landscape behind the Emperor indicates a stern, serious nature.
Traditionally, if the card appears in a reading, it indicates self-control and mature authority, a man fit to be a father. The modern, more gender-neutral interpretation speaks of dominance and superiority in work, career and business areas.
When the Emperor card appears, it indicates that order, power, and jurisdiction will be brought into effect.
If the questioner is preoccupied with the current situation of conflict, then the Emperor card is a positive omen - you will be justified in your struggle. The authorities are on the side of the fortuneteller, and the card portends a greater likelihood of success.
- An influential person or government, military forces.
- High position; founding a new business.
- A person uses his own initiative, taking responsibility.
- Passion for adventure.
- Bravery and kindness will serve you well.
- If you depend on another person, it can become a burden.
- Organizer and successful student.
- Leadership success or big business opportunity.
Description in the health plan
In an upright position, this means excellent health, and in cases of illness, recovery.
Physical illness
A reversed card indicates a dangerous or traumatic situation. Sometimes in questions about illness it predicts a deterioration in health. It could also be depression or physical illness.
In fortune telling, the “answer to a question” is YES or NO
If the Owner falls in a straight position, he responds positively to the answer. But in order to implement your plan, you will need patience and determination. I would also like to note that your wish will not come true tomorrow; it will take time and patience.
Emperor, yes or no (tarot), meaning in fortune telling
Advice. Ask for help or funding from an influential person and you will succeed. What it means for a woman is that she needs a reliable patron.
Reversed position: The immediate answer is NO and without explanation.
Fourth Arcana as card of the year
The year will be productive, as the card tells you: “Take action.” If your ideas need implementation, then go for it, as this year will be like a reality check for you.
Card of the year, tarot, “Emperor”, what awaits you?
Some real part of the plan will come true, but some less realistic part will have to be abandoned. In one case or another, you will need discipline and patience.
Tarot, Emperor card of the day or what awaits you today?
Like a card, strong and powerful, the lasso will make you think rather than feel. Today is a favorable day for creating long-term plans. Today you can keep everything under control and are 100% sure that all your work will bring you results, you are on the right path.
What awaits you today
Advice. Just follow the rules and regulations, there are certain boundaries that you have to adhere to.
General meaning of the Death card
Tarot card Death means the end of something for the birth of something else, definitely something new. Initially, there is a feeling that Arcanum has a negative meaning, as most people imagine. The card is rather favorable, since it promises liberation, although it will be accompanied by suffering and grief.
Natural resolution of the situation is the main meaning of this card. Death is a sunset, after which comes the all-healing blossoming of new life. Interpretations of Death have always been viewed in a positive way: light at the end of the tunnel, movement from bad to good, getting rid of unnecessary things, freedom, transformation.
The death of Tarot promises inevitable changes. Everything goes on as usual, nothing lasts forever, what you start will end sooner or later. The living will become inanimate and turn to dust. Changes and transformations are frightening with instability. Life is reaching a new level and it is completely unclear when it will again take its final, unchanging form. The end of what is happening, the cycles are completed, the allotted time has expired, what was previously created is destroyed. Death serves as the foundation for renewed efforts and a new long life, sweeping away and dissolving everything in its path.
At the same time, where there is an end, there is always the beginning of the unknown. Death is like a gateway to a new life, the passage of which is inevitable. At first, the destruction of the past promises little change for the better. The inevitability of the process seems like an exceptional end without a future, however, this is not the case at all. Other cards can open up interpretations of what will happen in the future.
It is extremely rare that a card really means mourning, grief, death. In special cases, especially if the situation really involves the possibility of such an outcome, Death communicates humility and preparation for the inevitable.
If you are not afraid of quick and radical changes, Tarot Death takes on a positive meaning in your case. It is often difficult and difficult to let go of the dear, beloved, familiar, valuable, but, nevertheless, you are required to have humility in understanding the inevitability of this transformation process.
Any life changes promise anxiety with their unknown. Nothing can ease the trials of Death. There is also reason to associate the meaning of the Arcanum with the complete renunciation of one’s own “I”, the victory of a person over himself in the form of rebirth into something else.
Often the questioner is able to experience lightness from the fact that something that has outlived its usefulness will finally sink into oblivion and become part of the past. Death is the complete absence of life. There may be cases when the questioner, on the contrary, is tormented by the bitterness of loss, but in any case, the time has come to cross the limit. It is useless to cling to the past; Death shows everyone powerlessness in the face of inevitability.
The Death Tarot card gives you the opportunity to independently abandon the current, familiar, but lost meaning, exclaiming “Finally, it’s over!”, allowing something new to enter into the free space. The changes that Death promises are profound and inevitable.
One way or another, she is never wrong. If the card appears in the reading, it’s time for transformation, letting go of the past, then so be it. Serious changes of this kind are rarely negative, they are like a breath of fresh air, you can’t help but rejoice at them.
One stage of life gives way to another, this is what the Death Tarot card speaks about, the meaning reminds that everything begun must be resolved by ending. Life changes and the questioner himself changes. The most important thing is to find common sense when interpreting the meaning of the Arcanum in relation to the question asked. The main meaning of the card is that the current situation is coming to an end. As a rule, the Thirteenth Arcanum brings good news to those who corresponded in spirit to the Hanged Man (experienced weakness, powerlessness, despair, crisis).
Emperor in combination with other tarot cards: decoding and meaning
We have studied the direct and inverted meaning of the arcana, let's now take a closer look at how to read the Emperor card in layouts in combination with other Major and Minor Arcana of the tarot.
Emperor + Senior Rank
Decoding with the Major Arcana
| +Jester | A worthless leader who has lost his authority in the eyes of his subordinates. Look into your past actions and correct them before it’s too late for the sake of the future. In relationship fortune telling, this combination of cards indicates a relationship that has no future. The person refuses responsibility. This combination can lead any business to the point of absurdity. |
| +Mage | An unexpected talent will be revealed in you, which will help a new business and improve the material sphere. |
| +Priestess | The Emperor (tarot), when combined with the Supreme Lady, foretells that a man is falling under the influence or power of a mysterious woman. |

| +Supreme Pope | What does it mean when the High Priest and Emperor tarot cards fall together? This is help in any matter from higher powers, career growth, certain beliefs and perseverance. |
| +Lovers | Indicates certain obligations that need to be accepted. This is some kind of new acquaintance that will develop into something more, into a long, stable relationship. There is an invisible relationship between partners. |
| +Chariot | Indicates that the situation that is developing will be much higher than simple ordered rules. This is a tendency to lead and win. Such a person tries to control absolutely everything and everywhere. In matters of relationships, the emperor inverted, in combination with the Chariot tarot, will indicate a temporary break or a simple break in the relationship. |
| +Strength | Suppression of authoritarianism and thirst for power of the person who is being divined. Reflects a passionate jealous man. In some scenarios, it reveals the struggle between women for a man, it is about winning his attention. |
| +Hermit | The Emperor in combination with the Hermit tarot indicates a breakdown in the family. In cases, in work or business, the collapse of the team. If the combination falls on a person, it speaks of a closed, uncommunicative, elderly man. |
| +Wheel of Fortune | The time has come when everything needs to change: the entire structure and order. If this is a personality, then this is not a reliable man whose thoughts and actions are constantly changing. |
| +Justice | The Emperor and Justice in the tarot together reflect a person's desire to do things fairly and fairly. Here the tarot advises you to stop in your desire to move towards your goal, otherwise you may receive punishment. It also foreshadows marriage or the possibility of divorce (it all depends on the environment). Tarot advice: Follow the structure, do everything fairly and efficiently. The Emperor-Justice in the tarot says yes, yes, if you act within the law. |
| +The Hanged Man | It says that a person’s views on life are outdated. Reconsider your attitude towards work and personal life. Possible betrayal or partners are not happy with each other. One partner must adapt to the other. |
| +Death | Tarot, the emperor card and death warn of radical changes in life. Something will come to its logical conclusion. With other unfavorable cards it indicates the death of a husband or father. |
| +Moderation | Everything is temporary and everything changes. If this is a romance, then it is temporary and stormy, troubles are also temporary. Then everything will go back to normal. |
| +Devil | Visually, everything is fine, but behind this mask there is chaos. The desire to receive material wealth and carnal pleasures. Money is laundered and obtained by crime. The fortuneteller may suffer from alcohol addiction, but those around him do not see this. |
| +Tower | Stability is collapsing. Scandals, problems and troubles are on the horizon. Stressful situation. |
| +Star | Peace after the storm. A whole bunch of life plans, the opportunity to work abroad. |
| +Moon | Everything changes, including work and changing partners. There is a loss of strength, and also indicates an irresponsible person who does not assess the situation realistically. |
| +Sun | Favorable changes in family and work. A new connection that will grow into a strong family. |
| +Court | The Emperor-Court in the tarot will tell you about the growth of authority and changes, both in your personal life and at work. Favorable changes, a period of forgiveness. |

In this case, the saying “The end justifies the means” does not apply to this case. |
| +Page | You are criticized, you do not obey. |
| +Knight | Business crisis. |
| +Queen | In family matters, there is discord or even divorce. |

What will the Emperor advise us?
The fourth arcana is the plot in the tarot deck, which is responsible for consistency, stability and security. This card says: “Be independent of the conditions of your existence.”
Strength, will, order
Sometimes human nature is unpredictable, which is why the Master pushes us towards luxury and civilization:
- We cost our property and try to equip it in step with modern trends.
- And buying cars or flying on planes reduces travel distances. By doing this, we make our journey more comfortable.
But at the same time, new and new technologies run counter to the environment.
Using this example, we can give a clear definition of what the Tarot Emperor is. He combines in himself: intelligence, discipline, pragmatism / but also a thirst for improvement to infinity, power, inertia.

general description
Emperor (Master) - Major Arcana in the deck. It corresponds to position IV. Rider Waite added bright attributes that refer the fortuneteller to astrology. Detailed review:
- Number 4 is the real world.
- The head of the ram is the zodiac Aries; desire for leadership; spring; rebirth.
- Rectangular throne of stone - firmness, directness, structure, intelligence.
- A graying man means ripened plans, their completion.
- His even posture is reliable, continuous.
- Red robe, orange tones in the background - energy, aggression, action.
- Armor (plate) - readiness to defend oneself, to defend one’s interests.
- The Ankh Rod (Crux ansata) is a symbol of life and protection.
- Golden scepter (ball) in the left hand - unity, domination.
- Mountains are the foundations of the universe; something distant; harsh reality.
Primordial order. Consistency, organization. Making plans. Readiness to implement them. A clear idea and vision of the situation. Assess strength soberly. Sanity. Clarity, understanding. Safety guarantee. Perseverance, persistence, but not aggression.
Knowledge directed in the right direction. Gradual movement towards success. The training is over, it's time to work and achieve. Stand firm on your feet. See fertile soil.
Beginners often confuse the essence. They mistakenly attribute cruelty, callousness, and pride to the Master.
