Father of civilization. The advent of the conscious, the personification of the Logos. Active masculine principle, he will create and protect his fractal empire from the garden of the lascivious Empress. Intimately connected to the human species. His stern look, incites authority and power, his white hair conveys all his experience and wisdom. It's a structuring card. The number four, geometrically represented by the square, indicates the law and order of Mother Nature's chaos. However, as their names indicate, the Emperor and Empress are a pair of spouses. One cannot flow creatively without the other. Our perverse one-sidedness has made the Logos harmful, sterile, excessively harsh. However, if we want to raise our ambitious nature, we will have to step away from the Empress's garden for a moment. When sprouts emerge from the depths of the unconscious, our conscious side must be set aside, lest the Empress's tender flowers wither. Later, we will be able to use our Logos to prune the golden branches. #005 The Emperor. Collection: Tarot Fractal. Artist: Sally @XaropeSally
