- Meaning in love - Have you been paying attention to and showing respect and admiration for your partner, friends or family? This Card is an alert to the negative way in which games can affect your relationships. Be more generous with praise.
Advice
It's time to make fulfillment power and authority clear - it's time to take the lead in your life. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Focus your attention on your goals. Don't reveal your fears, feelings or plans. Logic trumps emotion and status and achievement are vital right now.
You may be having a problem with an authority figure (in the family, at work...). If you don't have enough arguments or strength to dominate it, bet on a more humble posture. Visualize or look for someone you admire and respect to help you reach your goals.
Practical Suggestions
Use your pioneering spirit. Analyze well the present situation and create new solutions for your life. Be original, don't just copy others' recipes that may not work in your personal circumstances. Set the rules of the game and respect them. Think rationally about what you want for your life and what you need to do to achieve it.
Believe in your ability to make and shape your reality. Consider all points of view and weigh your decisions well. In relationships, whether friendship, professional or in love, beware of power games - it is important to recognize the autonomy of those you love the most. Show that you respect and value them.
Message
This Card is a symbol of achievement, self-determination and the art of each one of governing itself. Each person has something new to give the world and the ability to create a new reality out of ruins. The Emperor also symbolizes the strength that exists within each of us to unlock the knots of life and create new opportunities.
