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.
