Emperor As Feelings

For the general tarot meaning of the Emperor please click here

In all my readings I often find that the Emperor often appears up in the feelings position when someone is thinking about you. There is strength, control, and focus on the relationship in question, and to me, this card does not totally describe to me “romance” but it does say to me that there is something really solid here. If you also see the Empress in the spread or you later pull her this can mean couple energy.

What do they actually feel when drawing the Emperor?

In all the tarot readings I have given this means they want to build a life with you, they want to control the situation, they want to protect you are some of the thoughts that are coming through. These are also “father-type” feelings when it appear in a reading. The Emperor is connected to the planet Mars, and in my card, he wears a crown, with a sideway view - representing life. There are men, who feel that a woman needs to be: passionate, motivated, unbiased, and bold. And, that is his feelings for her. I also feel that this card is about being domesticated to some degree. 

If you are asking tarot about someone's feelings towards you and you pick the Emperor card, it signifies that they have a strong sense of care towards you. He deeply values you, almost fatherly (as said before). He would go to great lengths to keep you safe and shield you from harm, he really is “yang” energy when it comes to Chinese astrology. 

The Emperor, the Ram, as Aries, obviously follows the Empress. On one hand, he's Mars (the planet which rules Aries as I have already mentioned) to her Venus, her friend, and compliment, father to her mom, society to her nature, dictated order to her creative energy. He is the "All-father," giving his children the structure they require in their lives to allow them to be responsible adults.

The Emperor: His feelings towards you?

In terms of how he feels for you the Emperor is focused by a strong presence of masculine energy. He thinks he is the creator and protector of all beings. He shows his love by looking after his family and friends. He's still an emotional person even under his tough exterior, but he only reveals his emotions to those he most trusts. In some of my readings the Emperor is normally a mature soul if the person you are asking about is young.

As I said before, he is Aries. It is the very first sign of the Zodiac, the "infant," and it is full of energy and aggression Like a baby. As a person he's direct, focused and often tempting - you want to hang out with him). Unfortunately he can also be something of a nightmare - like a child: he's a nightmare. impatient, annoying, controlling.

The Emperor shows affection with gestures while the Empress shows affection through emotions. And the Emperor is a dictator under the worst conditions - imposing his' opinion' upon people. He reminds me also of a smart passionate person whom everybody would like to copy - the fantastic king life.

The Emperor is "Who's boss" card. It is a huge question. This card says you control everything - your body, mind, feelings, mood and love life. The feeling of this card is bold, ferocious, brave, and in command.

I also think he enjoys providing for you or your family. He wants to see you taken care of - starting with your finances. He is satisfied with a wage. He will give you what money he could make for you. And he does not stop at sheltering - he wants more help and care. He wants to spoil you with a five-star vacation at the most exclusive hotels. Naturally he also caters to your sexual desires. If your asking for feelings and you are a female, he thinks he is attracted to you.

For those single or in a new relationship, the reversed Emperor card may indicate that your partner isn't totally committed to the relationship. Though drawn to you, they may see you primarily as an object to be won. At 22 I married a man who was 45 and this did not go very well. In most of my readings I found him controlling. This is your typical feelings card for this situation. The Emperor card turned upside down may also cause communication difficulties between the individuals. If that's true, you have to set boundaries and know what a healthy relationship is like.

The Emperor I also think represents comfort in your presence. He listens to your thoughts and is available for you for support and advice any time you face difficulties in your life.

The Emperor: Your feelings towards her?

If you are in a "situationship" or a relationship that you have not defined (or someone has not committed to you), the Emperor card suggests a strong focus on moving forward in the relationship. It's because the other person sees you as important and would like to connect more. She loves you - a good sign of a committed relationship. And she's going to do everything to please you in exchange for your love and approval. Now that may put you off - the Emperor - she - is probably not communicating her feelings very poetically, but he is very enthusiastic about showing his love for you in his own way. You get it if you understand and accept this.

For feelings, she wants to show affection and devotion to you by painting the hallway or taking the dog walking. Know how she shows you love and be open to it.

The Emperor: Your Ex Boyfriend, Ex Husband, Ex Girlfriend or Ex Wife's feelings for you.

If you draw the Emperor and they are waiting on contact from an Ex then it says they will probably call you soon. As far as ex partners drawing the Emperor it shows this perosn is very proud. The Emperor might also serve as a warning that their Empire has become an unwelcome task. If so, is he now a terrible leader, unreasonable, unreasonable, unhappy? It might be time to quit the throne. For the case you are focused on what is arriving in life. He comes when someone (you) has to write laws, rules and discipline to plan the future and go ahead.

The Emperor: How Someone Sees You

The Emperor in the readings I have done may also signal a renewed desire to reconcile and even rekindle love if you want to know how an old love interest or former lover feels about you. The Emperor grabs what he deems rightfully his with his own determination and force. He may eventually reach out. Wait for him to come to you also. So he works hard at everything - including a potential love interest in you.

When deciding if a relationship will get serious - commitment, marriage or engagement - the Emperor card is tied to your own strong emotions - and says you will be happy in a relationship soon - I think that's pretty cool. They see you as someone who's prepared to commit. They think you're strong as well as stable in your relationship and are ready for the next step. The individual who you are asking about has feelings for you and believes you. I think sometimes with the Emperor it is about romance and also who is in charge. Think of someone who is perhaps pompous!

It's like the Emperor Reversed.

And if you draw the Emperor reversed for a question about someone's feelings this takes on another meaning. I think of the Emperor as the sum of all the kings rolled into one person. It means being super strict in a relationship. It also could mean one side of the relationship is jealous and irate and you feel like you need to walk on eggshells around them. This may be related to needing control or having a distant or abusive father who is hot headed. In relationships, the Emperor reversed often indicates attachment - related feelings. The Empress reversed is thinking about losing that "nurturing" way and the Emperor reversed is a weak man to me.

I also think they will think you or your Father are controlling and intimidating them if your Father is involved. They think they are always speaking incorrectly and will never behave as you expect. They are anxious, sad and unworthy. So why motivate them to succeed if they do not get encouragement and recognition? This makes them withdrawn and lonely. If you connect this to something, consider examining your own behavior and why it has shaped your relationship today.

These are father-related problems in layman's terms. Some of these are feeling emotionally distant and pathetic, lacking determination, wanting total control, anger and envy and seeing people as objects of sexual desire. If any of these things about yourself and your relationship make you think that childhood attachment problems can not be solved in the present. All these barriers can not be removed by fully accepting what happened before.

What about committment?

When assessing commitment in a relationship the Emperor card is reversed, indicating a lack of emotional dedication. They love you but are not prepared to be somewhat - emotionally available for a relationship with you. They might not understand themselves or their own emotions. Like anything, if you aren't getting specifics on their commitment and suspect they aren't sincere, go with your gut. But they might be more prepared to investigate their options now. It is true that they will face many emotional hurdles before they can fully commit, but ultimately the person must face this growth and change for themselves. It has to come from within of oneself.

For former partners, drawing the Emperor reversed (to me) suggests they've shut down and are not feeling sorry for you. The two are fine with continuing to date and keeping the relationship strictly transactional, but not interested in reconciliation. And they know reuniting will not fix what broke up. You both acted carelessly with your feelings and they both have shut down completely. A real reconciliation can not happen until the obstacle is removed.

Will the Emperor commit?

If you are in a love relationship but not yet committed (yet) it suggests you should really examine how you treat your significant other. What issues with attachment are involved here? Are you in a situation where you keep contacting someone and then trying to distance yourself the moment things get close? Is this twin flames connected? Are your always fighting the same battle, arguing about silly things? Do you see yourself with that person long term? With this man it might be safe, but he is very dominant.
