[meme] The Emperor

[trochee]

You are the Emperor card. The Emperor leads the way
into the world that The Empress allowed us to
experience. He is the archetype of the Father
who provides the organization and structure of
the world. The Emperor is the government, and
as such represents control. At this stage in
The Fool's Journey, there is no need to deviate
from the status quo. By participating actively
in society, we come to an understanding of
social structure. The Emperor applies the laws
and rules for us to follow. The Emperor is the
first of the zodiacal attributions in the major
arcana. He shares with Aries a creative energy
and, at his best, responsibility for the
subjects in his charge. At his worst he can
become domineering and authoritarian. Image

*laughs* I guess it's just a meme, I should refrain from picking on it's political viewpoint.

as in "it's the government ... thus one need not challenge the status quo"?

Is that what's funny?

What's funny is that I had a moment of 'eh! this implies a movement of growth from the Fool (who disruptes the status quo) to Emperor (who is essentially in charge of setting the status quo)! that's a biased political perspective!' before I realised, eh, its a meme.

Well to be exact, *I* noticed ! ;)
But yeah, what does that make our children ?

I noticed, too! And refrained from asking about when we could expect the little princes and princesses, but now I can't resist.
