The Emperor — Rider Waite Tarot

David’s Reading

Today we have the Emperor. The Emperor is a very interesting card because he is sitting on his throne, but he is in full armor. Why is he in full armor? Why does he not feel safe in what should be his home place? Sometimes you need to let down the walls to let other people in. You want to protect the people that you love, but also you need to let them in to see the real you. That is today's card, the Emperor.

“He is sitting on his throne, but he is in full armor.”
“You want to protect the people that you love, but also you need to let them in to see the real you.”
“Why does he not feel safe in what should be his home place?”
