Aries is the infant, the first sign of the Zodiac. Like an infant, he is  filled with enthusiasm, energy, aggression. He is direct, guileless and  all too often irresistible. Unfortunately, like a baby he can also be a  tyrant and be impatient, demanding, controlling. In the best of  circumstances, he signifies the leader that everyone wants to follow,  sitting on a throne that indicates the solid foundation of an Empire he  created, loves and rules with intelligence and enthusiasm.

I wanted to show John both as a father, but also as a hunter, and how  that obsession has come in the way of his relationship with his sons.   The usual orb, sceptre and throne in the Emperor card were replaced with  the unused baseball on the floor, the rifle and the crappy motel  chair. The card usually also features ram&#8217;s heads as part of the throne  design, so I used a ram&#8217;s head on the motel sign. I like the think that  the motel behind the Impala is the one that Sam and Ruby are staying in  in my Hanged Man card. Oh, and the three birds in the sky are meant to represent the freedom the family could have if John gave up his obsession :-)<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/community.livejournal.com\/spn_tarot\/39044.html\">The Emperor<br \/>\n<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prompt: John Winchester Card description: As Aries, the Ram, the Emperor naturally follows the pregnant Empress.
