Tarot means a lot is left up to interpretation, but The Emperor isn’t going to just let that be wishy-washy. He’s here to make sure that the structure of the Tarot is followed. There is a right and a wrong way to do things, and he wants you to do things the “right way”. That way he can just be there to support and not have to punish you. After all, he maybe understanding, but The Emperor must still have those follow the laws of his land.

Whenever The Emperor makes his presence known, he has many ways to go. While he is there to lead and guide, The Emperor is still ready at a moments notice to spring into action as needed. Ready to take up arms should the moment arise. Until such a time, he will remain steadfast in his duties while remembering a bit of gentleness more-so embodied by his counterpart. The Emperor means to weigh the paths laid before him and keep in mind there are consequences if he acts too rashly.
