I listen to a lot of Heavy Metal, and this Emperor reminds me of a rock star. The blocks on his podium look like an R and an O and a C, and the blocks by the skull spell Zal, so for me, this is Zal the rock star- visit his website on the internet, or catch him on his world tour. Zal is at the height of his power (the noon day Sun; concious, outwardly projected energy. This is echoed on the podium and his collar). He strides forth, ready to be first, as Aries is the first sign in the Zodiac (the symbol of which is tatooed, of course, on his head). He fairly crackles with power and shows us how to harness and use our creative energies toward a structured purpose. This structured purpose need not be domineering, but can be an area of self-development that needs the Emperor's firm hand.
Interestingly (to me), a long haired metal rocker from the group Jet Circus named Ez Gomer had a charateristically Emperor-ish approach to a spiritual issue. He is quoted in a magazine as saying, (he'd been referring to a string of bad luck, partiularly with record execs. giving the band a bad deal) "But lets not be too sad; life is ups and downs for us all and my belief is that forgiveness is necessary to go ahead and bitterness is killing you slowly. I don't want to take prisoners. I want to be a positive, forgiving and happy person. And I am. Glory to God."
I like how the landscape curves upward, as though wherever the Emperor and his podium preside were the center. The shadowy blobs around the perimeter may be trees, and buildings, but within their shade could be a crowd of people waiting for him to speak- "Hello Earth Coin Village!"
Graham's booklet says: "Welcome to the theater the most powerful player of all: the Emperor. This is the man who rules the stage. He is a creative and energetic man. In front of him are his props; the computer shows his ability to adapt to modern technology; the globe symobolizes his authority, a ram's skull stands for his astrological sign, Aries. A self-determined man who struggled for his position of dominion, he built Phantasmagoric Theater upon a divine law. The Emperor will not allow himself to be dominated; he is here to teach us self-discipline. He is yang, demanding, powerful, and headstrong. The Emperor is here to instruct and encourage us to stand up for ourselves.
Divinitory Meaning: Will power, stability, leadership, intellect, self-discipline and perseverance.
Reverse Meaning: Unable to listen, cowardice, vanity, bad temper, failure in ambitions."
