What the Emperor represents in the Tarot - card description

The emperor sits on a throne with a ram's head (back), the symbol of Mars. The head of another ram is visible on his cloak. His long white beard bears the symbol of "wisdom". In his right hand he holds the scepter of Ankh, and in his left - a globe, which, like the scepter, is a symbol of domination and power. The emperor sits atop a rocky, barren mountain, which can be a sign of strength and superiority.
