The Emperor

The Emperor symbolizes the masculine principle, the inner archetype and the role of the patriarch, who guides you to cultivate order and stability in your life in order to achieve success. The emperor's long beard symbolizes the wisdom brought by his years of experience, and his red robe indicates his zest for life. The royal scepter he holds in his right hand is the Egyptian symbol of life and represents his power over the territory he rules. The earth he holds in his left hand symbolizes the same thing. The metal shoes on his feet indicate his unchanging authority and his readiness to deal with any difficult situation. The four sheep heads represent determination, leadership and action, while the mountains point to his unwavering power, consistent with the image of an absolute ruler he displays.
