'''The Empress''' is the fourth card in the [[Major Arcana]] in most traditional [[Tarot]] decks.

==Depiction==
The essential design features for The Emperor have changed very little from the early versions in the [[Visconti-Sforza Tarot]], which showed a white-haired elderly man holding symbols of kingship upon a throne.

The [[Tarot of Marseilles]] added a shield with the crest of the Holy Roman Emperor beside the throne.

In the [[Rider-Waite Tarot]], The Emperor sits on a ram-adorned throne, a symbol of Mars. Another ram head can be seen on his cloak. His long white beard bears the symbol of "wisdom". He holds an Ankh scepter in his right hand, and a globe, symbol of domination, in his left. The Emperor sits atop a stark, barren mountain, a sign of "sterility of regulation, and unyielding power." He symbolizes the top of the secular hierarchy, the ultimate male ego. The Emperor is the absolute ruler of the world.

The [[Tarot of Vlad Dracula]] abandons the European imagery completely and depicts this card as Sultan Mehmed II, the Ottoman emperor who exerted tremendous influence over [[Vlad the Impaler]] and all of eastern Europe during his rule.

==Divinatory meaning==
In [[divination]], this card usually indicates stability, power, and protection. A great person. The father of the Querent.

In reversed position, it means: Benevolence and compassion. Confusion to enemies, obstruction, and immaturity.
