Tarot 204: Emperor[IV]♈︎: Chokmah(2)–Tipheret(6): he: ה
The emperor refers to the sign of Aries in the Zodiac. The ram, by nature, is a wild and courageous animal, lonely in lonely places, whereas when tamed and made to lie down in green pastures, nothing is left but the docile, cowardly, gregarious and succulent beast. This is the theory of government.
He brings war and its simulacrums and accessories. He brings conquest, victory, strife, ambition, originality, overweening confidence and megalomania, quarrelsomeness, energy, vigor, stubbornness, impracticability, rashness, and ill-temper.
This figure is the alchemical symbol of Sulphur, which is the male fiery energy of the Universe. The power of the Emperor is a generalization of the paternal power. With regard to the quality of this power, it must be noted that it represents sudden, violent, but impermanent activity. If it persists too long, it burns and destroys. His authority is derived from Chokmah, the creative Wisdom, the Word, and is exerted upon Tiphareth, the organized man.
