Tarot for Self-Care: The Emperor

          

Strong hands holding time

And the empire responds

Stand on stable ground

The Emperor encourages us to have structure and organization. Now is the time to introduce structure and stick to a schedule.  Set goals and establish timelines to accomplish them.  Following a routine will help you build great things!  Following the rules will ensure that you have solid and sustainable progress.  Be professional and rule your empire with dignity.  Strive to be fair and objective.  Lead by example.  Protect yourself and the things you care about.  

What people, places, and things are stable in your life?  Meditate on these questions.  When times of change, flux, or turmoil approach, you rely on your foundations to bring you stability and return you to your center.  The Emperor has great plans for the future, and he is also prepared for dark days ahead.  He has a strategy for growth and prosperity.  Create your own self-care strategy and put it into practice.  Revisit your strategy periodically and make adjustments as needed.
