Aries season wraps around us with its fiery embrace, ushering in longer days and a nourishing heat radiating down on us from the Sun. Never one for subtlety, our adored fire sign charges through life, relationships and goals with the fierce tenacity of a ram competing for total dominance. The Emperor card which is tied to the energy of Aries, represents power, leadership and security and mirrors the determined and courageous spirit of an Aries. An Aries does not compromise their visions. If there is a disconnect between the internal experience of an Aries and their exterior expression, then they feel deeply unsettled. Authenticity means everything to them and they would rather be honest and alone than agreeable and popular. An Aries is not afraid of confrontation or disagreement. They will feel the heat of passion when something they believe strongly is challenged. Passion is what drives everything they do. If there is no passion, they are uninterested and a bored Aries is an unhappy Aries. These attributes make it hard for Aries to follow along in a group, as they are naturally inclined to take charge and call the shots. The pride of an Aries can be their achilles heal, causing an inability to listen to others, take criticism or rest. The Emperor tells us everything is under control but reversed, it can signify pettiness, immaturity and a flawed foundation. The reversed card reminds us that even the hot flame of an Aries' passion can burn too bright and leave irreparable burns. A reminder for Aries season is to seek stability through developing your metaphorical core strength, lead quietly and confidently and the fruits of your labor will have longevity.
