When we take time to build structures rooted in the foundation of our deepest wishes for ourselves and the greater world, we create the potential for unfolding and collaborating within nurturance and strategy rather than unknowingness. Even Mystery is supported by ritual.

Emperor Year is providing a platform for us to get strategic and precise about the way we interact with imposed structures: Capitalism, Time, Patriarchy, Gender... yes all the big ones. We are tracing through methods back to a way of loving boundaries; creating and naming our own desires and needs rather passively accepting the outdated systems created to control us. It starts in our bodies.
IIII
How do act on your love for the world and for yourself? Daddy is the one who creates structure. Who is Daddy to you? What would your life look like if you created clarity around everything that determines the tangible aspects of your life? The Emperor reminds us of our ability to be our own best daddy, creating structural safety that benefits the entire collective. The Emperor asks us to get clear about How we organize Freedom.

What is the shape of the vessel that holds your heart? What is the shape of the vessel that holds your life? How can you adjust these structures to support your deepest softening? Spread out into yourself, held within the sovereignty of your own vision, rather than an imposed depiction. Lay it all out on the table, locate your truth, lift the veil on assumed realities, protect your flame, and organize.
