An Egyptian pharoah sits on his throne. His legs are crossed and his arms are crossed over his chest. He looks very srious & authoritative. A vulture sits at his feet. The pharoah was all powerful some were considered Gods. Particualrly sun gods. Masculine power, sun energy, ruler. The ram head torches - more male energy. I think of the emperor as the divine male energy. Loving, sometimes harsh.

LWB: Worldly power. Accomplishment. Confidence. Wealth. Satbility. Authority. Indomnitab;e spirit. Leadership. War-making tendencies. Father. Brother. Husband. Male influence. Domination of intelligence and reason over emotion and passion.

The Pharoahs were all-powerful and often ruled with force and fear. Their dynasties lasted for a long time. It was the Romans who eventually ended the system. But then, the Roman Emperors were not so different. It is difficult for me to connect with the Emperor card, because, the patriarchal influence has hurt so many over time. It is a force and power that is hard to balance I think.
