Emperor = How X feels about Y (future)

[Tiggy-cat]

I did another 3 card reading on "how does X feel about Y?", past, present, future. (ie, how does "he" feel about me?) Future card came up as Emperor, which is very interesting because last time it was Empress.

Since I feel like the Emperor would represent him rather than me, my first take on this is that it indicates he is just too focused on himself and his own plans to think much about me or anyone else, but I suppose it also could mean he sees some of the Emperor qualities in me, or that he as Emperor could see me as "one of his subjects".

I'm just not sure how to interpret this card in context and would love people's thoughts on it.

By "how does he feel about me?" were you thinking more along the lines of "what does he think of me" or "what are his feelings for me"?

As the former I'd say he thinks of you as being one of his subjects/under his control. As the latter I'd say his feelings for you are paternal/fatherly - he feels that you need taking care of, but not really in a romantic sense.

Hmm, thanks very much. I think either way does not look good for romance, and I started to phrase the question as "what does he think of me", and then changed "how does he feel about me", meaning it more like that 2nd version.

Whatever card would represent a lost cause is probably what I should be looking at more closely

i had this card come up twice for me in this position
first guy: there was a 'love' triangle, and he didn't want to cross the line....he wrote me off as a result
second guy: a police officer, i tried talking my way out, but no luck...i ended up getting a ticket

i'd say due to authority, conventional barriors, he isn't going to cross the line towards 'romanic' feelings

but i'm actually wondering what it means as well, still not completely clear to me either.

Hmm, very interesting, Hermit. Sort of like "duty calls–first things first" so no romance, huh?

I wish something would move w/this guy I've got it bad!
