Texto original de Waite (1911)

Simbolismo interior (original)

He has a form of the Crux ansata for his scepter and a globe in his left hand. He is crowned monarch—commanding, stately, seated on a throne, the arms of which are fronted by rams' heads. He is executive and realization, the power of this world, here clothed with the highest of its natural attributes. He is occasionally represented as seated on a cubic stone, which, however, confuses some of the issues. He is the virile power, to which the Empress responds, and in this sense is he who seeks to remove the Veil of Isis; yet she remains virgo intacta.

It should be understood that this card and that of the Empress do not precisely represent the condition of married life, though this state is implied. On the surface, as I have indicated, they stand for mundane royalty, uplifted on the seats of the mighty; but above this there is the suggestion of another presence. They signify, also—and the male figure especially—the higher kingship, occupying the intellectual throne. Hereof is the lordship of thought rather than of the animal world. Both personalities, after their own manner, are "full of strange experience," but theirs is not consciously the wisdom which draws from a higher world. The Emperor has been described as (a) will in its embodied form, but this is only one of its applications, and (b) as an expression of virtualities contained in the Absolute Being—but this is fantasy.

Significado original del derecho

Stability, power, protection, realization; a great person; aid, reason, conviction; also authority and will.

Significado original invertido

Benevolence, compassion, credit; also confusion to enemies, obstruction, immaturity.

The rams' heads on the throne are Aries; the sceptre in his hand is an Egyptian ankh. The nineteenth-century taste for Egypt stayed on the card.

Documented imagery

Attested by surviving objects or texts

He and the Empress are a pair, but not a marriage

In the early decks the Emperor and Empress are a paired image of secular office. Waite goes out of his way to note that the two cards "do not precisely represent the condition of married life, though this state is included therein"; they are rather the higher kingship on the intellectual throne. Reading the pair straight off as parents or as husband and wife takes a Renaissance diagram of office for a diagram of the family.

Esoteric correspondence

A sourced traditional claim, but constructed inside an occult system

Rams' heads mean Aries

Waite states that the arms of the throne are fronted by rams' heads. The ram is the sign of Aries, and the Golden Dawn attribution for the Emperor is indeed Aries (Hebrew letter Heh); the ruler of Aries is Mars — Roman Mars, counterpart of Greek Ares. The whole register of initiating, issuing orders and imposing order by force follows down this chain.

The ankh and "he who seeks to remove the Veil of Isis"

The sceptre in his hand Waite calls a Crux ansata — the cross with a handle, which is to say the Egyptian ankh, the sign of life. In the same paragraph he writes that the Emperor is "he who seeks to remove the Veil of Isis; yet she remains virgo intacta." Both are traces of the nineteenth-century occult taste for Egypt: Egyptian signs borrowed as a general vocabulary of symbols, not a claim that this card came from Egypt — Waite states that distinction very plainly in the Wheel of Fortune entry.

Modern reading

Popular only since the twentieth century; unrelated to where the card came from

The father archetype arrives after Jung

Reading the Emperor as the father archetype, as patriarchy, uses the vocabulary of twentieth-century depth psychology. The reading works well in practice, and it does connect to an office that lays down rules. But archetypal psychology is a Jungian construction, and has nothing to do with the people who painted this card in the fifteenth century.
