Good morning! Today's card is the Emperor! Look at all that fiery red. Yep, it is an Aries card. It is a Trump, meaning it's part of life's path. The short look at this card is that it is the card of the masculine, particularly as it relates to family. This isn't necessarily the MAN in the family, but the MASCULINE. The masculine energy of direction and rules and values. Often seen as a father card.
I like to think of this card as the Karate card. Why? Well martial arts is the path of power self defense. Learning your POWER... but using it in controlled ways. Sounds a little like our virtue card yesterday, no? So what is our path today? To tap into our MASCULINE energy of direction and exercises it. So once again... look within to what needs to get done IN THE REALM OF THE FAMILY. You have the power to do it, and today there are some FAMILY things to do.
On another note, as I typed December 16th above I had a thought I'll share with you. December 16th is a lost day usually. Why? Because it is one of those days leading up to Christmas, the ones where when you see it written, your first thought isn't about the beautiful day ahead of you, it's about holy crap, Christmas is coming and I have shit to do!
That's what I felt when I wrote that down, and I thought the Emperor card was great, because I need to utilize my energy today to keep my family on track for Christmas. But... let's stretch that. Let's look to our family past and through Christmas JUST TO OUR LIFE. There is more than just Christmas. I think some people embrace it too much, or try to deny (Hello Scrooge) but why not see THROUGH it.
I'm sure there are tons of books written on who to have a great holiday and relax and deal with the stress. So I won't belabor the point here. But it is something that is occurring inside me, bubbling up so to speak, so I share it with you.
I will leave you with a quote from Suzzanne Wagner: "The test for power is not if you will have power but what you will do with power." Today the Emperor card is saying you have power. Point that point toward you family, and get done what needs to get done, and, like the Karate Kid, use your power for good. And take my challenge, and see through what is going on. See through to something deeper. Use your power to STAND up for something. STAND. I like that word. Today... the word that goes with the Emperor is STAND.
Have a great December 16th!
