THE EMPEROR TAROT CARD DESCRIPTION

To fully understand the Emperor tarot card’s meaning, we will first take a look at the illustration, its colors, and its symbolism.

The Emperor tarot card shows a stoic ruler, sitting on a giant throne decorated with four ram heads. These are symbolic of his connection with the zodiac sign Aries which is related to the planet Mars.

The Emperor holds an orb in his left hand which stands for the kingdom that he rules. In his right hand, he has an ankh, the Egyptian symbol of life.

The red robe that he wears indicates energy, power, and passion for life. Underneath his robe, he wears armor signifying protection from any threat.

His white beard represents the wisdom that comes with age and experience. Over time the Emperor has learned what it takes to rule, establish power, and complete order for the benefit of his people.

At the foot of the mountain range, a small river flows. This depicts a sense of hope and the emotional side of the Emperor, that’s hard to reach but is there.
