Tarot card - The Emperor Reversed
Tarot card - The Emperor Reversed
Introduction: The Emperor in reverse can tell us that we
are giving our heart more credence than what our mind and logic is
telling us. In general that is not a bad thing; but ideally we would be
balancing both. Use your mind AND your heart, this reversed card tells
us. You may be easily distracted now and could find it hard to maintain
your concentration and focus. Yet drawing the reversed emperor indicates
that concentration and focus is vital now.
General: When you draw the Emperor in reverse, an
older man, likely to be dark-haired, may be rubbing you the wrong way
now. Try to look beyond his exterior and consider what it is that he may
have to offer you that can be of use. Don’t get too irritated if he is
trying to tell you what you “should” do; take the parts of his advice
which are useful and ignore the rest.
Work: The reversed Emperor can indicate that you are
not much in the mood for structured, formal work right now. However,
obviously, you may not have a choice. Do the best you can to exhibit the
structure and order that your job requires of you, but make sure to
give yourself at least little mini-breaks to help yourself cope, if
necessary.
Love: Organization or lack thereof can become an
issue when the reversed Emperor shows in a reading. If you consider
yourself to be an orderly, methodical person, you may have fallen for
someone who is not (or that could be about to happen.) Consider where or
how compromises can be made. If you don’t the relationship has next to
no chance of working.
Finances: If you struggle with finances and you have
drawn the Emperor reversed, you may well need to seek outside
assistance. Look for someone who is good at logic, order, and being
methodical in terms of setting up budgets, dealing with taxes and cash
flow, and so on. You cannot afford to take a haphazard approach when
this card appears in this context.
Health: Again this card in reverse points to a need
to get outside advice and to be logical, methodical, and orderly about
how you are managing your body and your health. Increased
self-discipline may be helpful. If you are struggling with a health
issue, insights may come if you take the time to write down your
symptoms, track them, and then see if anything in your life corresponds
with how you are feeling.
Spirituality: When the Emperor appears in
reverse, it can be a signal that a helpful spiritual advisor, (likely to
be male and older than the querent) is nearby. One must be cautious
when accepting spiritual advice from a “guru.” No human being is
perfect, and it’s important that you listen to your own thoughts and
intuition no matter what others say about a guru or teacher who is in,
or who will be coming into your life. Learn from this teacher, but do
not discard yourself in the process.
Symbolism of bee
Symbolism of bee
Denotes
industrious and cooperative teamwork and denotes diligence and a
sense of order. A beeswarm suggests an overwhelming situation Being
stung by a bee can represent a negative situation. Dreaming of a bee
flying away can symbolize death as the bee is the soul, but if
the bee flies into the mouth of the dead person, that person will
come back to life. In the mediterranean civilizations, the bee was
seen to be brave, chaste, industrious, clean and lives harmoniously.
The Christians looked upon the bee hive as the church and the bees as
the parishioners, who collected only the best from all the flowers.
They were symbols of purity and abstinence. In the secular world, the
bee was a royal symbol and the queen bee was long regarded as a King.
The sweetness symbolised Christ and his mercy. The sting was felt to
be the last judgment.

Cautions
against loss of individuality, pretending to be someone who you are
not, aping someone, being a copycat instead of your true self. A symbol
of malice and ugliness. The ape was a holy animal in ancient India, the
god Hanuman, as in the epic Ramayana. He is a symbol of strength,
loyalty, and self-sacrifice. In the Chinese Zodiac, the ape is the ninth
sign. The ape is the calendar symbol in ancient Mexican cultures,
lending its name (in Aztec Ozomatli, in Mayan Ba'tz) to the the day of
the month. The ape was a god of dance, and those born under this sign
were expected to become jugglers, pranksters, dancers, or singers. In
ancient Mexico, the ape represents the wind. In the ancient Mexican myth
of periodic "ends of the world", the second era or "sun," the wind-sun,
was ended by devastating tornadoes, and the humans of this era were
transformed into apes. Apes in chains represent the "devil" vanquished.
It is a symbol of insecurity and doubt about one's own role in life as
well as immodesty.
