The Emperor

​​MLXLOh, the emperor, the large and in charge card.  Well here comes a brush with authority or some figure in your life, more than likely a male.
The card itself is ruled by the astrological sign of Aries, a fire sign and first in the zodiac.  Which, in turn, Mars rules Aries.  

Think red hot, war, male, judge, lawyer.  Someone in power.  A pioneer or a very prolific person.
It also symbolizes hard work, stability, having things under control.  Are you on your way to a promotion? Or some advancement?  Or is it possible your companion is going to receive some promotion?
Aries-  This sign is the pioneer of the zodiac.  Brave, resilient, and never backs down and comes packed with a punch of tenacity as so long as other signs/placements and or houses in the chart do not quell these traits.  

Look at where the Emperor rests his hands, …on the rams.  This is the Aries association ram.  Ever see those guys battle it out? Headfirst, and yes, that is your Aires element to the Emperor.
I have an Aries moon.  I read on a post a while back that those with the moon in Aries are more animated than those with the sun in Aries.  I don’t know, my father is a sun in Aries, and crazy enough all four of the major planets he has are in Aries.  Well let me say this, the guy was in the military, did every sport under the sun, hardly slept, wrote a book despite being dyslexic and could have gone to college on a full-ride with a football scholarship.  Know anyone like that?  I don’t think my dad ever knew what the word failure meant.  In fact, I don’t think he cared to know it, feel it let alone consider it.

 There wasn’t anything my father wouldn’t have tried, and if he would have been born rich, I shudder to think about what other endeavors he would have jumped on.  Now, as he is older, he likes to fish.  Of course, he competes.  I went along for some bonding time.  Well, that didn’t work out, he critiqued my cast, made me change my lure ten times.  Not because he likes correcting anyone, he was so worried I wouldn’t catch anything and not have fun.  When I put my rod down, I said: “Dad, I came to bond, I can fish any time.”  He glanced down at the water and smiled.  He was quiet after that for a while, but then we just talked. But he made sure he caught his fish…Aries has to compete, at everything!  

Back to the Emperor, it is a good omen to have in your reading.  Maybe you are on the cusp of something important. Perhaps you are about to start a new fad, a new product line or something like that.  Are you getting ready for a competition?   Whatever it is that you have going on in your life, it means hard work and stability. 

Black Moon Lilith in Aries

Black Moon Lilith in Aries is a bit daunting.   The sign Aries is ruled by the planet Mars.  This is a fixed fire sign and "God Of War" type of energy,  making it a volatile placement!
Lilith represents rebellion, feminism, and rising above oppression.  Couple that with Aries and there is a real driving force here.
This is also about 'me first' with Aries ruling the 1st house which also inclines to a less diplomatic approach in relationships and sex if the energy is not harnessed.   In some cases the person may be a fighter for themselves, however,  they may also be a fighter for a group. 
Caution should be taken with the 'my way or the highway attitude.'  When these individuals are at their best, they are great leaders and innovators but anger them and be prepared to be burned with fire!
