Some diffrent posdible arcana's p5

In tarot readings, the Emperor symbolizes the desire to control one's surroundings, and its appearance could suggest that one is trying too hard to achieve this, possibly causing trouble for others; some elements in life are just not controllable.

Gameplay-wise, the Personas of the Emperor Arcana are Personas typically excelling in lightning-based and physical attacks; these Personas are almost always kings or emperor figures, but may simply be important male figures and deities. Typically, the king of a mythological pantheon is of the Emperor Arcana

Within the Persona universe, characters of the Emperor Arcana are often male leaders or father figures (or both). Often times, the Emperor character is troubled by something very personal and doesn't know how to deal with it.

:readmore:

"The Emperor is a paternal arcanum that also rules over others. It uses force as its strength, in contrast to The Empress' kind passivity. Seated upon a throne, a stern looking man holds a scepter and an orb in his hands. Two ram heads serve as the throne's armrest, and behind the throne, rocks stand in place. Unlike the Empress' tarot, the Emperor's tarot is made up of more firm symbols than 'malleable' symbols. This signifies the Emperor's steady and firm rule, which are further solidified by his strong rocky foundation and his scepter and orb, which represent his power along with the rams upon his throne which represent Aries. And just like the Empress, the Emperor represents the positive qualities of a father; strong and firm. REVERSED MEANING: The Emperor is firmly seated in a throne, holding a scepter and an orb, his proofs of power. When the card is upside down, The throne falls along with the Emperor. His proofs of power drop to the ground and all control over the kingdom is gone. There is no foundation as the rocks that hold his throne in place are destroyed and the kingdom suffers.

-Arcana: Emperor- ---------------- The Emperor is a straightforward arcanum. It is one that depicts equilibrium, stability, maturity, and practicality. Commonly, this card is associated with a leader, and what better character to fit it than the main character (hereaf- ter MC)? The MC is a cool-headed and reserved young man, not unlike his friend, Nanjo. He thinks things through and is always ready to speak his mind, even in the toughest of times. He doesn't rely on his raw emotions to guide him through like Mark, nor is he ever at a loss of words, like Maki. Though the MC doesn't talk as much as the others, he is the center of attention when he speaks. All he says and all he does carry a significant weight that even the most thick- headed people can't help but be swayed by him. If you choose to talk to your party members at certain times in the game, they may comment on the MC's personality, giving us futher insight on him. In a room in the Tartarus section of the Thanatos Tower, Elly comments on how brave the MC is, never even complaining about the situation he and his party members are in. Likewise, Brown also comments on how the party would be lost without the MC in Tartarus as well, showing how much his party members really look up to him. Yet, the MC is also kind. He is like a father when being tender, in that he offers condolences with firm, but caring words. In the inner part of the Lost Forest where ideal Maki was grieving, the MC firmly told her to "stop." With just that word, ideal Maki came to her senses, even though Mark and Nanjo already tried to convince her otherwise. The MC, as quiet as he is, always looks after his friends, just like a true Emperor does. Though he shares the same toughness as Nanjo, and the same expressive nature as Mark, the MC is able to combine those two elements together, creating a charismatic individual that all are attracted to. Of course, since the MC is also represented by the player, you may be able to change his firmness by selecting the other choices when presented to you. In this case, the MC is represented by the Emperor reversed. Instead of being firm and responding with straightfoward answers, the MC responds mainly with a meek, "I don't know" or "I'm not sure". In this case, the MC is unable to lead his friends in a positive direction and thus, stifles them from realizing their true selves.

The Emperor reflects a system bound by rules and regulations. You create law and order by applying principles or guidelines to a specific situation. Create calm out of chaos by breaking down any problem into its parts and then mapping out the actions you need to take to resolve it. Be systematic, strategic and highly organised in your approach, and stick to your plan until the end.

The Emperor card also signifies world knowledge and expertise. Through the course of your life, you have gained valuable wisdom and life experience, and now you enjoy offering guidance, advice, and direction to someone who might benefit from it. You may be a teacher, coach, boss, or just a good friend who likes to take what you have learned and pass it on so that others can be as wise and powerful as you.

The reversed Emperor calls on you to assess your relationship with power, control, authority, responsibility and discipline. Are you expressing too much or too little of these elements in your life right now? Are they working for you or against you?

In the reversed position, the Emperor can be domineering and rigid in his thinking. The card can suggest an over-use and abuse of authoritative power surrounding you. It could originate from you or from another person, often a boss, partner or father figure. And it may be because of deep insecurities or father issues from childhood.

Consider the role that power plays in your life. Are you asserting your power and dominance in a way that leaves others feeling powerless? Or are you giving away your personal power to please someone else, often a father-figure or a person in authority? Seek to find a solution where you lead from a place of personal power and enable others to do the same. Power can be equally and constructively distributed – you don’t need to take it from others, nor do you need to give yours away.

The reversed Emperor may be a sign that others look to you as their leader or as an expert in the field but you are shying away from the role. You may fear being seen as the leader, instead preferring to hide in the shadows or stay out of the spotlight. There may be other ways you can make an impact and influence the world, such as authoring a book or training others to reach a bigger audience.

Sometimes, the reversed Emperor asks you to stand up to authority. You may feel fed up with an overbearing boss or a hierarchical organisation and feel compelled to enter a more flexible and adaptive environment. Maybe you aspire to be your own boss and work independently by starting up your own business. Or, you may seek a career where you can have greater flexibility and creativity in how you complete your work. You are sick of having to always work within the confines of a particular structure or way of doing things, and you want to break free from it.

When the reversed Emperor pops up in a Tarot reading, pay attention to your commitment to your goals and your self-discipline to get the job done. If you are struggling to see any real outcomes, check that you have a plan in place, a routine to support it, and the dedication to see it through. You may need to get a little tough on yourself and do the uncomfortable work you’d prefer to avoid. But if you can harness the positive, upright energy of the Emperor, your efforts will lead to success.

Grace. Grace. If Makoto were Male, I think she could suit Emperor. She could be Emperor anyways, but Atlus is insisting on gendering the arcana to players. We have yet to have male empress or preistress, or female Emperor.

Desire to control ones surondings, trying too hard. Student council president Job. Physical and lightening attacks. Close. Shes the party monk, and does nucular attacks. Troubled by something personal and doesn't know how to deal with it. Where to start. Sae. What the principal insists on her doing as council president. Her dork interaction skills.

So thats games deffinition of emperor, but lets move on to some other sources.

Practical, reserved, speeks mind. Starts reversed, but when she decides to go for her persona, her palace, she starts on a path to upright that should be explored in her confidant.

The biddy upright shows how she could go with the party. Using her knowledge to tutor, creating order with stratagy .

Starting at reversed could be exploring her relationahip with authority and how she herself acts as an authority based on her experiances. Her social link could be her actively changing that.

In tarot readings, the Empress represents mothers, prosperity, creativity, sexuality, abundance, fertility, protection, and comfort (most often in helping maintain peace around them like an ideal mother would.)

Gameplay-wise, the Personas of the Empress Arcana are often Personas excelling in Ice-based attacks with healing powers also relatively common; they are usually important female figures, and many are queens and mother goddesses of some sort.

Within the Persona universe, the Empress Arcana often belongs to women of authority or wise and motherly figures.

Characters under this Arcana may also be cold-hearted in personality, but still present a high degree of care and concern towards others. And like queens, they are also very elegant in character.

MEANING: The Empress, dressed in a gown covered with pomegranates and adorned with a crown of stars, holds a rod in her hand as she sits on a seat in a field of wheat. Beside her rests a heart shaped shield with the sign of Venus embedded on it. Just like with the High Priestess, the image of the pomegranate is visible upon the Empress' gown, signifying a sense of mystery or the unknown. The crown she wears and the rod she holds represent the Empress' rule over all of nature, as shown by the wheat field and vegetation all around her. Finally, the shield of Venus by her side signifies the ruling planet of the Empress. In essence, the Empress is the mother. She is in a wheat field, signaling growth and nurture. With the shield of Venus by her side, the Empress shows her desire to protect the love of all things. The Empress represents all the qualities of a positive maternal figure, whether it be the bearer of the arcanum, their mother, or anyone else that acts as such.

REVERSD MEANING: The Empress depicts a woman on a seat wearing a crown in a field of wheat. Turned upside down, the Empress uproots all the plants in the field, bringing destruction by active force, rather than passive, which the Empress usually is.

The Empress is mother to all. She looks after everyone as if they're her own children, offering nurture and mercy upon them. She is the opposite of the Emperor, passive and kind. Yukino should be seen as the modern Empress. She's still kind and caring, but she will punish anyone who does something wrong. In the school, everyone looks up to her as a big sister and views her as someone trustworthy. Before she became a role model to the students, Yukino used to be a yanki, basically a juvenile delinquent. Thanks to Ms. Saeko, Yukino became the person she is today, and as such, switched from being the Empress reversed into her upright self. Just like how Maki had the most relevance to the SEBEC storyline, so to is Yukino to the Snow Queen QUest. In this path, the party meets up with 3 girls who all work under the Snow Queen, who try to stop the characters from rescuing their frozen teacher. After confronting each of the girls, Yukino, though younger than them, tells them the error of their ways, helping 2 of them come to terms with their situation. The other is an idiot. No amount of help could have helped her. Anyway, it's easy to see how Yukino is the Empress. She gives advice to those she knows, and even to those she doesn't. She's strong and courageous, able to head forth into danger for her teacher.

The Empress signifies a strong connection with our femininity. Femininity translates in many ways – elegance, sensuality, fertility, creative expression, nurturing – and is necessary for creating balance in both men and women. The Empress calls on you to connect with your feminine energy. Create beauty in your life. Connect with your senses through taste, touch, sound, smell and sight. Draw on these senses to experience pleasure and deep fulfilment. Treat yourself to a day spa, learn massage, enjoy a fine restaurant or spend more time with your partner. Discover different approaches to expressing yourself creatively, be it through painting, music, drama or other art forms. This may be the perfect chance to take up a new hobby that enables you to access this part of yourself.

The Empress signifies abundance. You are surrounded by life’s pleasures and luxuries and have everything you need to live a comfortable lifestyle. You are in a period of growth, in which all you have dreamed of is now coming to fruition. When the Empress appears in your Tarot readings, take a moment to reflect on the bounty that surrounds you and offer gratitude for all you have created so you can continue to build on this energy and create even more abundance in your life.

As the Mother Earth archetype, the Empress urges you to venture out into nature to ground your energy and be in flow with the earth. Take a trip to your favourite natural setting, be it a forest, beach, mountain or lake, and sit for a couple of minutes, hours or even days to breathe in the energy that surrounds you while marvelling in the beauty of your surroundings. Allow yourself the time and the space to enter a different frame of mind and receive the grounding spirit of nature into your heart and consciousness. When you do this, you can reach higher planes of consciousness.

Reversed, the Empress encourages you to make self-love and self-care a priority. Now is the time to bring your loving energy and focus to yourself, especially if you have been giving away your personal power by placing too much emphasis on another person’s emotional or material needs, thus neglecting your own. Book a girls’ weekend, go for a walk on your own or start a creative project that’s just for you. It is essential that you fill your cup and care for yourself so you can then take care of others without resentment.

The Empress reversed can suggest that you are feeling a creative block, especially in ‘birthing’ a new idea or expressing yourself creatively. You may worry whether it will be a success or if your work is appealing to others. For now, don’t bother about what others think. The important thing is that you are allowing your creative energy to flow, even if it means keeping your newest creations private to you only (and even if they look like a three-year-old created them!).

Biddy Tarot can sometimes be too nice, which Is why I went to another site for this one too.

"The Empress reversed indicates that you have lost too much of your own willpower and strength because you have started placing too much effort and concern to other people’s affairs. While the Empress's nature is of showering her loved ones with attention and care, this can sometimes go overboard. You might be neglecting your own needs, or even smothering the ones you love with your well-intentioned actions.

In a role reversal, perhaps a reversed Empress is finding her way into your life; it could also mean that you are relying on others to take care of you, and make decisions for you. You need to work towards removing this influence on your life, and build confidence in your own actions. Always try as much as you can to ensure that you solve matters on your own."

Empress being the card of creativity and all,

Could be interesting with Yusuke.

Starting in reverse, it could relate to Yusuke's interactions with Madarame, and turn into the more traditional creativity and nuturing as he transitions out of reverse, as his arcana explores breaking the creative block, self care, and being an artist in 2017.

Originally named the Popess, portrayed as an old woman with an open book, the Priestess Arcana is a symbol of hidden knowledge or other untapped power, wisdom, female mystery and patience when it appears in tarot readings.

Gameplay-wise, the Personas of the Priestess Arcana are commonly associated with healing and support attributes. Mythological figures of the Priestess Arcana are usually crone archetypes, goddesses of wisdom, witches, female mages or priestess figures themselves.

Individuals associated with the Priestess Arcana are usually quiet, reserved, hardworking and very intelligent. They are often modest and shy, and won't open up to the protagonist until much later in their Social Links as compared with other characters. A recurring theme with Priestess characters is that they have an inferiority complex due to growing under highly exigent family members,

MEANING: The arcanum of mysteries. The High Priestess knows all of the unknown things to life, yet never shows them at all. What you see in the tarot is a woman seated on a throne in front of a curtain decorated with pomegranates. In her hands she holds the Tora, partly covered by her robe, and at her feet, a moon sits in her flowing blue robe. On the left side of the tarot, a black pillar with the letter B is written on it. On her right, a white pillar stands with the letter J on it. The High Priestess is dressed in blue, the color of the unconciousness. She serves as a guide to unlocking the mysteries of the world on the metaphysical plane, as compared to the Hierophant. But unlike the Hierophant, The High Priestess speaks in arcane verses. Just like the Tora in her hands, she lets you see a bit of the information she has, but she never lets you see it all. And just like the crescent moon at her feet, she will help you understand a bit of the information she gives you, but will never brighten it up all the way. In a way, the High Priestess is just like the Magician, in that she shows you something awe inspiring, and you have to find out the truth for yourself. The difference between the two, however, is that once you find out how the Magician does his magic, you've discovered everything there is to know about him, yet with the High Priestess, you will never find out everything about her, as she has all her powerful secrets hidden behind the curtain that sits behind her. Though she doesn't tell you everything there is to know, the High Priestess does offer a way for a person to be able to find out the mysteries for them- selves. The pillars that sit beside her represent the dualities of life. If one should figure out the dualities of life, they will be able to understand the significance of themselves. The black pillar with the letter B on it, stands for Boaz, which means, negation. The white pillar, Jachin, stands for begin- nings. But those are just the face value of both pillars. If one were to figure out each and every duality the pillars represent (male and female, good and evil, youth and elderly, etc.), they would be able to figure out all of the secrets to life. Sadly, no one but the High Priestess is able to do so, which is why everyone seeks the aid of the mysterious priestess. So what does the High Priestess mean to people in the real world? Well, the High Priestess really connotates someone who is knowledgable in many subjects and fields, yet someone who also knows when to say something and when not to speak. Someone who bears the High Priestess arcanum is someone who is very instinctual and follows their feelings, but also knows the delicate balance between following your guts and following you head. A true High Priestess isn't someone who withholds information from you and uses it as blackmail, but someone who withholds such secrets because they understand the harm it might bring to you.

REVERSED MEANING: The curtain that shrouds the mysteries falls when The High Priestess is turned upside down. Every secret she holds is seen, both the positive ones and the negative. The High Priestess doesn't even need to speak, as everyone can see everything: the good, the bad, and the ugly. When she does speak, the High Priestess only speaks of the harmful secrets that would bring pain and misfor- tune to others. Either way you look at it, the secrets withheld by the High Priestess are hidden for a good reason. No matter how you look at it, knowing every single thing in the world is just asking for trouble because no one would be able to bring them into balance since the pillars Boaz and Jachin have been destroyed.

Going to sit on the Maki analysis for now

While the Magician is the guardian of the conscious mind and the tangible world, the High Priestess is the guardian of the subconscious mind and the teacher of sacred knowledge and hidden mysteries. Sitting at the threshold of the conscious and subconscious mind, the High Priestess has an innate ability to travel between these realms effortlessly. She teaches you that the world is not always as it seems and more profound influences are often at play. She ushers you through the thin veil of awareness, offering you a deep, intuitive understanding of the Universe and a heightened awareness of secret or hidden information.

The High Priestess signifies spiritual enlightenment, inner illumination, divine knowledge and wisdom. She shows up in your Tarot readings when the veil between you and the underworld is thin, and you have the opportunity to access the knowledge deep within your soul. Now is the time to be still so you can tune in to your intuition. The answers you are seeking will come from within, from your deepest truth and ‘knowing’. Allow the High Priestess to become your guide as you venture deep into your subconscious mind and access this inner wisdom. Connect with your intuition and your Higher Self through meditation, visualisation, shamanic journeying, and being part of spiritual communities.

Your intuitive sense right now is providing you with useful information and is assisting you to become more in touch with your subconscious mind. Knowledge of how to fix these issues will not come through thinking and rationalising, but by tapping into and trusting your intuition, so allow yourself the time and space to meditate and attend to your inner voice. Look for areas in your life that may be out of balance or lacking ‘flow’ and ease.

Now is also a time of heightened intuitive ability and psychic insight. If you are developing these skills, the High Priestess offers you further encouragement to continue your journey and trust that you are on the right path. The more you listen to your intuition, the more it will flow.

Finally, the High Priestess is a signal that you are being called to embrace the Divine Feminine – your connection to your intuition, compassion, empathy, and inner wisdom. Regardless of your gender, it is vital for you to balance and integrate your masculine and feminine energies, and the presence of the High Priestess signals that your sacred feminine needs your attention right now. Feel, rather than think. Collaborate, rather than compete. Create, rather than destroy. Trust your Divine Feminine energy, even if the masculine energy around you may appear to be stronger. Be proud of your ability to nurture, trust, sense, and empathise instead of hiding it away.

The meaning of the High Priestess is related with inner knowledge. Her appearance in a reading can signify that it is time for you to listen to your intuition rather than prioritizing your intellect and conscious mind. When the High Priestess shows up it can depict an archetype known as the divine feminine - the mysterious female that understands and holds the answers to the deep unknowns; religion, self, nature. She represents someone that is intuitive, and beginning to open to her or his spirituality. Meditation, prayer and new spiritual work is indicated

When it comes to the High Priestess reversed, it can mean that you are finding it difficult to listen to your intuition. It is time for you to meditate and try new approach, for at this moment, the rational approach will not work. Something has been telling you to follow your gut, but you may be ignoring the call. There is a lot of confusion around you, and your actions may feel contrary to what you know is right. You must never be afraid to ask questions of yourself that may illuminate a new path forward for you, one that is more authentic to your inner self and your individual values.

Which brings me To Haru. The literal psychic, lol. The card of intuition. Something she needs through out her confidant. To ask questions and illuminate her way through navigating her inheritance of her fathers company.

Makoto is a very rational, and apparently strategic person. Yes she can get emotional, but I don't think of her as an instinct person.

Yes she uses them at some moments, but overall I would say that the majority of her goals are accomplished through knowledge and action.

Haru makes a decent empress, but I think she could offer an interesting exploration of priestress.

Haru's rebellion is being selfish, betraying the societal expectations her father feels owed, in favor of wanting nice things for her self. Things like her fathers love, freedom from her fiance, choice for her future. She doesn't awaken her persona from seeing things that effect others, like the shitty way her father views his employees as represented by his palace. She doesn't awaken her inner spirit of rebellion for other people, as represented by taking requests from the phansite. Her fathers treatment of her, is what gets her to take off her mask, and manifest. Its interesting, and I wish it were explored in the game more. Haru's confidant is about self need, in between navigating the ropes of her fathers company. She spends it gardening (meditative), exploring her want for running a cafe rather then a chain corporation, and at its climax she listens to her intuition and expresses this through a cup of self made coffee.

Yusuke hits the cold hearted but caring persona empress archtype, while also achieving the elegance and ice based attacks.

Yusuke could represent the creativity aspect of the empress hardest. Reversed starts at an interesting place, as Yusuke starts placing too much concern and effort on other peoples, mainly Madarame's affairs. One of reversed key words, is even financial issues. Transition to upright involves breaking creative block, and even striking a balance with a reverse empress want to be (maybe). It also explores his relationship with Madarame, and shows some extent of recovering, which is... More then a fair amount of PTs show in confidants. Could be interesting to show him learning self care financially too.
