The Emperor reversed card describes an older person who is the complete opposite of the Emperor card. The reversed Emperor shows an authoritative and traditional leader who is a tyrant and is not friendly or caring. The Emperor is a traditional ruler and takes charge of everything. The reversed Emperor’s negative influence is that he takes away your creativity and independence. He forces you to follow his rules and traditions, and he takes control over everything. To balance this card, you need to think outside the box and be original. This card suggests a man who is both loving and cruel. He can be a kind father, but he cannot tolerate a situation in which a person is weak and requires help.
