  34. THE COUNCIL EMPEROR

Obviously Intelligent and sometimes Impatient, the Crusader Emperor is assured in their problem solving ability. Knows exactly what they want to achieve—but can become pushy or arrogant striving for it. Action-oriented, the Crusader Emperor is a beloved leader, especially because they don’t always see themselves that way. Perhaps hard to get close to, but once trusted, fully embraces others.

Balances to Reach
Don’t let a superior talent become a superiority complex. Have patience and don’t force others into your way of things. While there is unique value in your talent, remember you have so much more to offer as a well-rounded being. Can love deeply, which can lead to deep wounds—but always remember you can heal these wounds.
Growth Direction

Patient: Has recognized tendency to be impatient, has taken active steps to give others more grace and extend that same grace to self.

Confident: Has begun believing in self calmly instead of always striving to prove self arrogantly, an act only fueled by doubt.
Emperor Type

The Agency Crusader Emperor: Doubling down on intelligence, the Agency Crusader Emperor is as strong and decisive as they come. They must remember leadership can turn into authoritarianism when the throne becomes too isolated.

The Destiny Crusader Emperor: A potentially volatile rising combination, the Destiny Crusader Emperor combines a fierce belief in self with a belief in a fateful higher power. They must beware being blinded by any static beliefs.

THE SCHOLAR EMPEROR

Obviously Intelligent and sometimes Indecisive, the Scholar Emperor has the impressive ability to study endlessly and is adept at seeing the finer details. Understands complexity and nuance more than most, but sometimes feels stuck or unsure as a result. Never suffering fools, the Scholar Emperor always thinks with their head first and makes the smartest moves, forever a student of the world. Perhaps hard to get close to, but once trusted, fully embraced.

Balances to Reach
Don’t obsess too much about always making the “right” decision. Let go of perfectionism, because you are enough as you are. When feeling overwhelmed or paralyzed, trust your gut feeling. Can love deeply, which can lead to deep wounds—but always remember, you can heal these wounds.
Growth Direction

Patient: Has embraced the idea that thinking things through isn’t about being stuck or paralyzed, but rather patience is an art of stillness and focus.

Confident: Has recognized tendency to be indecisive and has taken active steps to trust and believe in own voice, having more to offer than just one facet of self.
Emperor Type

The Agency Scholar Emperor: The most intellectual rising combination, the Agency Scholar Emperor believes all answers can be found with enough attention. They trust in their judgment, but must beware the things they cannot always see.

The Destiny Scholar Emperor: A balanced rising combination, the Destiny Scholar Emperor has captured duality more seamlessly, able to be both rational and faithful, objective and subjective, studious and commanding, scientific and spiritual.
