The Emperor and Father's Day

The Emperor, in the Tarot story, is the father archetype. Father's Day is Sunday, June 20. This is a time to not only honor your own father, but even more to honor the father within you!

Here we have an opportunity to activate that Emperor energy in our personal world. Since the Emperor is the dynamic, the initiator, the visionary these are all areas within yourself you can play with between now and Sunday.

Here are some questions to play with, journal around and meditate on:

How am I fathering myself? We hear so much about mothering ourselves, but rarely do we look at how we father ourselves. You can explore your relationship with assertive communication, or finances, or how you build a foundation for your creativity as well as when, where and how you vision. These are aspects of the Emperor, of your own dynamic nature. What shadow is there from father issues? Don't be afraid to look at the dark side and use your own inner father to bring light to these opportunities of development.

Of course the relationship with your own father can be clarified or healed by working with this energy, too.

Create a vision for how you want to father yourself! Look into your world to see who mirrors the Emperor to you. Welcome and embrace your dynamic energy as you birthe new insight into the Emperor within!
