Damn I'm tired and sleepy today. Like hell. This is clearly not my day, despite how much I managed to do despite my low-energy state.
So... the next card.
4 : The Emperor
As with previous card, this one might as well be renamed to "The Father" considering it's meaning.
The Emperor symbolises a perfect fatherhood or leadership. He is a protector, a guide, authority that brings sound leadership, creates structure and order. In this way he creates a pair with The Empress.
As a father emperor is the protector, creates structure and safety. As a leader emperor is the source of drive and ambition, enforcer of order.
In reverse, just life previous card, The Emperor symbolises how father or a leader may do his role wrong.
Reversed emperor may mean domination for the sake of domination, rigid follower of order without understanding why the order is needed and when it should be forfeit. Abusive power, misuse of power, all the signs that the position of power corrupted the leader.
It may also mean breakdown of the order, rebellion against the authority. Breaking the rules or trouble enforcing them. Reversed emperor may mean destruction of status quo, especially safe and comfy one.
If The Emperor is a question, it's "Are you in control?"
If The Emperor is a person, it's a leader or father.
If The Emperor is an object, it's rules and symbols of power.
If The Emperor is a situation, it's establishment or breakdown of authority.
If The Emperor is a trait, it's being bossy, serious and strict, but also just.
If The Emperor is an advice, it's "Take control over situation" or "Rethink the rules you follow"
