Number 4 – A Perfect Number
The Pythagoreans believed the number four, the Tetrad, was a perfect number.
They taught that the Tetrad symbolized God.
In Pythagorean philosophy there are four parts to the soul:
mind – opinion – science – sense
In the Tarot the number 4 is the card of the Emperor.
The appearance of the Emperor shows us that domination of the mind
over the heart is sometimes necessary even though it is not wanted. In
fact he should be welcomed and that is what you must think about when he
appears.
When hard choices must be made it's important to maintain your
concentration and focus. The Emperor signals this but he also signals
that now is a time you should find it easier to make hard choices.
Enjoy the assertiveness and confidence that this self-control and
focus brings. Forge ahead and do what you know is best. If you can
master yourself then you should have little problem mastering most of
the other obstacles that life throws at you.
