The Emperor
- structure
- responsibility
- boundaries
- stability
Upright
Order is needed here. The Emperor asks you to take responsibility for the framework of your situation: set boundaries, make decisions and stand by them. This is not about becoming rigid, but about building something that lasts. Ask yourself what would become easier if you took the lead instead of waiting for someone else.
Reversed
Control has taken the place where security should be. Perhaps you hold so tightly to rules and plans that nothing can breathe, or structure is missing altogether and everything drifts. It may also be that you are handing your own authority to someone else. Where is the line between leading and dominating?
