The Emperor
Man of power. Power and protection. Stability. Accomplished projects.
The Emperor faces his past and builds from it. It symbolizes stability, a sense of responsibility and confidence.
His leg is bent in the shape of a “4”. He is in balance and in a comfortable position.
The Emperor’s beard denotes his maturity. He is no longer the young man on The Fool or The Magician card. He is an accomplished and responsible man.
The Emperor sits “on his eagle”: The plans are accomplished. The egg hidden behind the eagle shows the arrival of other new projects.
