Image:  The Emperor by Amoret

Endurance. I have been here always, and I will always be. I am the axis of support, the matrix underneath growth. I am wise and impersonal. My kingdom is the forest, and I stand tall among the wild trees.

I am relentless support. The Empress nurtures, The Empress gives, and I give shape and form to those gifts. My bounty is order and guidance.

I am the way it has always worked.

I am the map that lives in your DNA.
