It is interesting that thinking about the card is much different based on when you pull it. Yesterdays card was AFTER the day was over, and I was looking at it to see how it related to my day. Today's card I pulled in the morning, and so I'm thinking how will it apply to my day? Interesting. I might want to come back this evening and add a line or two to say how it turned out. No?
Okay, today's card is my card, the 4th Trump, the Emperor. Here is is:
Notice the power, the color of red and power. This is a brain card. Notice the shield, the scepter of power, but also notice the lamb is there at peace. The lion and the lamb.
This card is ARIES all the way! It is about ACTION and MOVEMENT. It also represents the father figure, it is about responsibility and being a good father and being fair and honest. Emotionally it teaches that success comes from calm not from reaction. Spiritually it teaches us that "He who shares the most honest and powerful aspects of himself, wins." When the Emperor shows up, it is a wake up call to rise to the challenge. So the question is, what is the challenge today that I'm being called to? To rise up to it, and step beyond what I thought was possible. To really rise to the challenge. When I want to fall down, this card will give me the energy and focus to stand up and gather up my courage and get going with all the energy I can muster.
Am I ready for the next level of responsibility? - I think I am, but the concept of being faced with this challenge is making me nervous. What could it be? I guess it doesn't matter, but to face it with all the energy I can muster. Even if I'm scared out of my fucking wits.
Am I willing to take charge of my life? - Absolutely. Live life, don't let it live you. This sounds so simple! Is it hubris to say yes I want to take charge of my life?
Am I willing to stan dup for what I believe? - I sure hope so. I can feel that challenge out there. Being strong and standing up for what is right. Even if you risk losing everything.
Am i judging others unfairly because of my own self-doubt? - I sure hope not, but this is something I'm sure I'm capable of doing and today I should keep this in mind so I don't do it!
Am I overriding others wiht my power to get my own way? - Good question, and with my kids I should be careful about this. I should be careful on every level to be fair. This card is about power, but power with fairness and goodness. The good father. It is King Arthur. The Round table.
Am I justifying the reason I feel so stuck? - I don't think so, but I could be doing this too.
Okay, well that is the Emperor for today, and so it will be interesting to see how it turns out! Bless you my readers. All one of you!
