Upright

The authority figure of the deck, The Emperor is a leader with a
clear vision and the power needed to achieve it. With clear principles
and a firm hand, you are able to control the situation and demand that
those around you follow you on your path. Even though you have the
final say in every matter, you still take the advice of those you care
about.

Reversed

The Reversed Emperor is one that demonstrates a rigid way of
thinking. You abuse power and are engaged in unbalanced relationships.
Avoid being domineering and pushing your will onto others, without
going into the other extreme of shying away from responsibility. With
balance, you can achieve success.
