The Tarot Emperor represents the law of nature (according to logic and order). He prays to God to recognize and respect the needs of others under his authority and to help him make right and fair decisions as a leader. He is, like Jesus, the fatherly shepherd who provides for and protects his followers. Understanding that he, too, is subject to the law, he asks God, his steadfast companion, for guidance in being a proper and respectful citizen as he goes about his daily tasks. Whether he is rich or poor, he lets go of envy. The Emperor prays not to be selfish or egotistical but to reign and be reigned over while allowing God's law to rule over all.
