Description
She strums her fingers and sends a quartet of borealis strings out into the sky. A simple joy, but one that she happily gifts the people below. The lights serve as a reminder that there is a symphony of life around them . . . a bigger plan that is not always evident from every vantage point. She steps onto the solid landscape with all the strength and harmonic leadership that a powerful Emperor Muse can bestow, sharing her secrets of success with you. Lead confidently. Graciously. Empower those around you to do their very best work. Be a guardian. A provider. A steward. Revisit how you care and provide for yourself . . . and for others. And then her heart lights up when she sees the happy earthly hums from the people below. The glow of contented dreams warms the top of the mountains, and peace fills the valley below as they realize that they are protected, fostered, and safe.
Poem
Authority. Stability. These things provide. Control. Vision now. And claim your lead Protect and feed. Your goal.
Visual Description
A tall, regal figure in a voluminous red cloak stands with arms lifted, head in profile and hair crowned with golden adornments. Dark leggings and ankle boots are visible as the figure appears elevated above a surreal landscape of pink mountains and flowing striped waves dotted with tiny silhouetted people. A night sky with stars and dotted orbital lines arches above the scene. At the bottom a white banner bears the text "4. the EMPEROR".
