The figure of the Emperor says much about the essential qualities of this card. We see a stern, commanding figure seated on a stone-slab throne. His back is straight, and his eyes meet ours directly. He is confident of his complete authority to rule.
The Emperor
represents structure, order and regulation - forces to balance the
free-flowing, lavish abundance of the Empress. He advocates a four-square world
where trains are on time, games are played by rules, and commanding officers
are respected. In chaotic situations, the Emperor can indicate the need for
organization. Loose ends should be tied up, and wayward elements, harnessed. In
situations that are already over-controlled, he suggests the confining effect
of those constraints.
The Emperor can represent an encounter with authority or the assumption of power and control. As the regulator, he is often associated with legal matters, disciplinary actions, and officialdom in all its forms. He can also stand for an individual father or archetypal Father in his role as guide, protector and provider.

This card refers to a confident, intelligent, authoritarian who brings order and organization to chaos and is not one who is easily influenced. In a reading this may refer to one who the querent knows or it may be the querent themselves. Either way it is telling the querent that they must call upon their own confidence and courage when called into action and to be authoritative in their decision making, and make sure to use all of the available resources at hand.
Quite often this person is one who is associated with governmental or corporate entities. They are a very powerful & ambitious person who shoulders responsibility well.
Be strong and not easily influenced, but maintain an inner balance. By overcoming your own fears you build strength and stability through wisdom and this in turn will bring wealth (whether monetary, spiritual or mundane will be determined by the situation and the other cards in the spread).
To temper the intense power & strength of this person, they must learn to allow love to be their biggest emotion which will help with balance & authority, mind over matter, and experience & knowledge.
