What is one of the biggest determining factors in failure?

Is it a bad idea? Maybe.

Is it lack of funds? Sure.

Above all, it is lack of consistency coupled with being unrealistic. Apply that concept to losing 10 pounds or starting a part-time business and you arrive at the same place.

Failure!

The Emperor is the father-figure, the gruff business man, the politician, the strategist, the leader. He is the counsel that advises you to pick a course of action, prepare, then execute.

And naturally, win.

Looking at this tarot card is akin to connecting with the most practical voice of your childhood, who advised you on choosing a course that provided maximum results.

Connecting with the discipline and control that are so intrinsic to this tarot card is essential if we find ourselves floundering and unable to meet our goals.

The Emperor tarot card is all about follow-through.

It is also about realism so it may be necessary to adjust the parameters of our goals. Miss L thinks it best to look at your goal as a whole and then itemize things like expectation and timeline. Can anything be adjusted so that the goal still feels ambitious but is also attainable?

If you happen to be a fairly structured/controlled person, recall that the shadow of The Emperor contains a lot of bite.

Criticism. Emotional void. Control freakiness.

If you're too engaged in The Emperor's qualities, it may be time to kick off the dress shoes for some Birkenstocks and take a long walk in the park.

As The Emperor tarot card creates more structure...

• What areas of your life need the influence of The Emperor? Do you want to create a budget, start a diet, develop a business, discover a cure for the common cold? Do you consider yourself more of a thinker or a feeler?

• Which of your goals have failed because of a lack of realism and consistancy? Take one of your goals and modify it so that it contains these two elements - is this something you could now achieve?

• If you already embrace the gifts of The Emperor tarot card, what can you do to open yourself to different experiences? How has your control controlled you?

The Emperor advises you to always look before you leap. Use his experience and cunning to cultivate new levels of success. If you're already a master of industry, it's time to cut loose - don't be just another Type A.
