Rider Waite Tarot Card Deck
=======================
I learned how to read cards on the Rider Waite Tarot Deck and the instructor I had said its easiest to have everyone on the same deck when explaining the symbolism. With time, I was able to transfer that knowledge to other decks. If you are a beginner at learning Taro, below are some links to the Rider Waite Tarot Deck to follow along if you need a set of cards.

About Carrie and  @QuickLearnQuests 
===============================
I have been reading Tarot cards for 30 years for fun. I took a two and a half day course, and I was so excited to be able to take the mystery out of getting readings done for myself, and to be able to do them myself. We also have social media channels, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and all major podcast distributors such as Spotify, Apple, Audible and many others under the handle @quickLearnQuests. I am focusing mostly on my podcasts and YouTube at the moment, but I will expand into more social media more consistently when I find my feet.

Welcome to the "Memorizing Tarot Cards" podcast, your three-minute lessons on learning and memorizing each card using symbolism. I use the Rider Waite Tarot, but you can view the card while you listen using your own Tarot card deck or a computer. Today, we're exploring The Emperor, focusing on reversals. Let's start with the divine meaning of the card and then its meaning when reversed.

The Emperor upright is a symbol of stability, authority, and leadership. He represents structure, discipline, and the power of order. However, when The Emperor appears reversed, the energy of this strong figure becomes misaligned. It can suggest an abuse of power, a lack of discipline, or feeling restricted by rules and structures that no longer serve you. The reversed Emperor often points to an imbalance in how authority is expressed or perceived. It may indicate over-control, rebellion against authority, or a struggle to assert yourself constructively.

So what does that mean when we see The Emperor reversed in a reading? When The Emperor Reversed appears in a reading, it's often a sign to evaluate how control and authority are playing out in your life. This card encourages you to find a balance between discipline and flexibility. It may also indicate a lack of boundaries or an inability to assert yourself effectively. The reversed Emperor asks you to step into your power confidently, ensuring that you're taking control of your direction without feeling suppressed by external forces.

So, what is the best way to memorize The Emperor in reverse? Tying the card to a personal experience helps me remember it. For example, my reversed Emperor moment revolved around feeling restricted by rules in the workplace and fighting feelings of rebellion.  As a reasonable human being, I know that a company hires me to solve a problem for them.  I am someone who is in their environment, and they are investing in my wage to create learning.  There have been a few contracts that I have taken where the client wanted something that, in my opinion, would be ineffective for the learner.  In online courses, people do not respond well to long lectures with death by PowerPoint.  That era is over.  When I am mandated to create training in a way that I know will be ineffective, I am concerned for the learner and the feedback.  Those feelings give me reversed Emperor vibes.  I don't need content delivery to be my way, but I always hope to create a product that makes a positive impact on my learners. That's all for today's episode of The Emperor Reversed. Remember, to memorize tarot, keep practicing tarot.  Thanks for listening.
