| The Emperor: This card represents intelligence and reason, secular power and authority, and structure and stability. While the Empress depicts the lush fecundity of nature, the Emperor is concerned with the productivity of human artifice. With these characteristics in mind, you can use the following affirmations with this card to manifest the success that the Emperor embodies. I make things happen, which creates success in my life. I create structure and stability that is positive and productive. I rationally resolve any issues or problems that arise in my life. I make effective plans and set realistic goals for all my endeavors. We also may differentiate the Emperor from the Empress by the dichotomy between his sense of order and the chaos of nature that she typifies. So when you are confronted by a chaotic situation, the next two affirmations will help you deal with it constructively. I can bring order out of chaos. I am able to direct the energy of chaotic situations into productive channels. |
