Sun enters Scorpio at 12.21 today 23.10.23
Mars in Scorpio
Chiron retrograde in Aries
The Emperor
Card Number four in Major Arcana
Representing Aries and Mars in fire and passion but also authority. Leadership and courage taking responsibility with intelligence and activating a higher divine guidance! These are the positive aspects!
The shadow is ruthlessness with resistance and a controlling nature fuelled by greed or passion. An appetite to own and to go further across boundaries out of selfishness or desire.
The Emperor comes up for today a solid male nature but not defining man or woman merely nodding to our maleness and how we handle the assertive nature. He holds a sceptre in right hand and a globe in the left. The symbol of the ram is held either side of the throne upon which
He sits and also on the edges of back of chair. These are the four elements he wants to govern with passion and fire. He wants to use his authority to get his own way. His white beard suggests the wisdom he has gained and his garments are red representing Mars and sovereignty. This person holds their sovereignty in very high esteem and behind him the ground he has covered on the journey but also the mountains he has had to climb to reach this level of understanding. But something about the way he stares does not suggest a soft nature he likes to be in charge. He rules with authority and might not take kindly to different opinions!
For you this card shows up on the day Sun enters Scorpio. A sign full of passion but deeply darkly intuitive At times. The ruler of Scorpio being Pluto and representing regeneration there is a natural flair for alchemy within this connection. Whatever your sun sign it will represent an aspect of your Chart. The sting in the tail of Scorpio can catch us unaware at times as it plays its cards close to its chest and watches…biding it’s time until ready to strike ! This of course is for the good or not so good depending on the circumstances!
But this card with this sign represents the need for authority in our lives. To take responsibility for ourselves and our own journey without blame or shame be it our own or piling it on others! To be fair and magnanimous in all cases if we can. It is Not easy especially in these times and with the learning we are experiencing. It also suggests our sovereignty is not in question. Do not doubt your own personal authority and the road you have travelled to get here. Be deeply suspicious of anything or anyone trying to put you off track just now (be the Scorpion!) and yet soften that exterior with a divine light of innocence held within the fire of your passion. Your creative heart will shine in these times and don’t let a moment of doubt cast by someone in authority perhaps let you leave aside your plans. A divine moment can happen in any moment but it’s driving force is your passion and this is where Scorpio comes in like the hero! They have it in bucketloads! But curb any forcefulness in your own character and avoid it with others who may try to force your hand.
The Emperors hands hold the divine as in the sceptre and the globe. He holds the world with his authority that is divinely given. Trust that now. If it seems you are being pushed or prodded to make decisions or to stand back from what you believe in rather than retreat and think oh maybe I should just leave it, perhaps this is the moment you take the hidden resources of Scorpio that are ancient and true and delve deeper into your heart with the passion of Mars in this sign today and say my heart is guiding me to do this and my ancestors are watching me walk to victory.
Trust the fire of creation in you but wield it gently with a flame of passion and do not get your fingers burned by flame throwing !!!!
