Career, Work Or Retirement:

The reversed Emperor can indicate that you are not much in the mood for structured, formal work right now. However, obviously, you may not have a choice. Do the best you can to exhibit the structure and order that your job requires of you, but make sure to give yourself at least little mini-breaks to help yourself cope, if necessary.

Card Meanings: Rigidity, Excessively Controlling, Loss Of Business, Absentee Father, Abuse Of Power, Lack Of Control, Family Problems, Lack Of Ambition, Dependency, Stubbornness, Lack Of Discipline

The appearance of The Emperor shows us that domination of the mind over the heart is sometimes necessary even though it is not wanted. In fact he should be welcomed and that is what you must think about when he appears. When hard choices must be made it’s important to maintain your concentration and focus. The Emperor signals this but he also signals that now is a time you should find it easier to make hard choices. Enjoy the assertiveness and confidence that this self-control and focus brings. Forge ahead and do what you know is best. If you can master yourself then you should have little problem mastering most of the other obstacles that life throws at you.

Book Details
Portable Magic: It may seem strange that the magician enters one of the cards during rituals of Tarot magic. In the Western esoteric tradition, it is usual for the magician to remain within his or her own body during the greater part of ritual work. This is not equally so in the magic of the East. Tibetan magicians work with esoteric designs laid out upon the floor or the ground that express in symbolic form astral temples, astral landscapes, or entire planes of being without physical reality. They project themselves into these pictures by identifying themselves with a small token, which they place within the design, usually at its centre. As long as the token that embodies their identity remains within the design, they are present and self-aware in the astral reality that the design represents.

Portable Magic: The only answer to the problem of the planets is to modify the sequence of the trumps. There is ample precedent for this course. Court de Gibelin and Eliphas Levi did it by locating the Fool at the beginning of the trumps. Mathers inverted the placements of Justice and Strength. Crowley inverted the Emperor with the Star. It cannot be presumed that all changes in the order of the trumps are necessary, or even prudent, but the evolution of the Tarot as an instrument of modern Western magic has been driven by these modifications in the ordering and esoteric associations for the trumps.

Creative Tarot: The first thing you’ll want to do when you are learning the tarot is to draw one card every morning. Let it represent your day ahead. I still do this, actually. If you have to remind yourself what the card means, then refer back to the card definitions here or in another guide. Maybe search for information about the card online; get some differing opinions.
