Emperor

Traditional Image: A central figure (usually male) seated on a throne. Other symbols within the illustration are eagles, rams, and often an Ankh (usually as part of a scepter).

Symbolism: A figure on a throne signifies authority, and the Ankh means everlasting life. The card is associated with the zodiac sign Aries, hence the rams.

Overall Meaning: Like any typical ruler, the Emperor is in control and likes it that way. This is a card that says its time to seize the situation and take charge. Be careful that this power doesn't get out of hand, or you may over-dominate the situation. The Emperor can also represent a specific person of authority in the Querent's life.
