The Emperor and Three of Wands

Authority with the middle Aries decan. The Three of Wands has already sent the ships and stands watching for them. Beside the Emperor the tradition reads a commitment made from a position of strength, and the particular discipline of waiting when you are used to deciding.

Associated with having made a move and being unable to hurry the answer. Read as the hard part for this temperament.

A venture launched under proper authority and now out of reach. Frequently read during the interval.

The Emperor cannot order the ships home faster. This pair is most useful read as a warning against filling the wait with another decision.
