Tarot Tuesday - 6/9/20 - The Emperor

Today's card drawn is "The Emperor".  I am really loving the "Halloween Tarot" and love that "The Emperor" is Frankenstein's monster.  In this particular case, I like the symbolism of the chain keeping him in the chair.  I like this because "The Emperor" is a restrained kind of a ruler, not a gaudy and greedy one.  He has seen both the good and the bad side of humanity and is prepared to hear from his people without being biased.

"The Emperor" card suggests that you are taking on a fatherly role.  You may find that lately you are providing for your family and being more protective of them than before.  You might be in a breadwinner position.  You are likely acting as someone's stability and security right now. 

As a leader, you need to be fair and balanced.  Just like our monster in the card image, you need to make sure you are restrained and under control.  This is not the time to let your emotions take over, but rather, you need to look at situations in an objective way.  Listen to both sides of a story fairly and equally before deciding your own position.  When dealing with a situation, this is the time to be calm and systematic.  Bring order to the problem, and it will be solved quickly and without resulting chaos. 

The appearance of this card today could mean that you have been put in charge of something important.  You have the stability right now to be able to carry out this role.  The message is to remain objective and logical and to listen to all perspectives before making decisions.  You've got this and you are perfect for this position.  The Emperor represents your masculine energy, your logical side.  This is a time to embrace that energy and to be a strong, disciplined and fair ruler of your kingdom. 

Have a terrific tropical storm Tuesday (I loved being able to say that today, I mean, how often do tropical storms track through Iowa?) and check back tomorrow for a very witchy Wednesday.
