ashwsh Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) I'm in the process of learning this card meanings from a deck and I usually struggle to interpret cards in this deck, and often miss symbols. 2 of such cards are Emperor and 8 of wands; Emperor- This image seems very unique to Me, it's has a Side profile of a goat and a bird like face. I would see goats strategic, confident and determined. What throws me off is the face? It clearly shows that this bird mask has been tied on this face, is it about deception..i don't think so, then what does it connote in a professional and a relationship context. Any ideas? 8 of wands- all wands are together, a path has been drawn to reach them. This could you be movement in the right direction. One reaching their goals. But it would be true if one is looking for a job, but would it stand true in relationship context too. But RWS also connotes movement happening fast. I really don't see this happening here. Any more ideas? Edited February 19, 2020 by ashwsh
ashwsh Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 I was thinking more on the 8 of wands, and if we see the card, the path is very clear, goal is straight ahead. It could also mean reaching your goal and ambition without any glitch.

In the professional sense, an Emperor could mean the person calling the shots, the boss or the one who has a well defined plan laid out for the project. It would depend on how the professional question is framed for where the Emperor landed. In the case of a relationship it could very well be the alpha male or alpha female amongst the couple.

Oh Thank you! @pacificwaters this really does make sense. Very interesting POV on the alpha male/female. Thank you

Instead of deception, the mask could be more of a protective symbol? You don't always want to share every aspect of yourself. Sometimes it's better to keep things private, especially in a work setting or with a new relationship. Even in established relationships, you don't want to be dumping everything on to the person you're with.
