the emperor is the balancing partner of the empress. while it can be negatively associated with toxic masculinity and unchecked oppressive power, the emperor's positive aspects can easily outweigh these issues when harnessed for good. its love for structure and stability can provide you with a source of both internal and external strength to call upon as you need it. just be aware of when its shadow side comes out to play and be prepared to gently bring it back into loving rootedness.
