What The Emperor offers The Lovers

Offers the security and committed structure within which the Lovers' vulnerability can feel safe.

“The Emperor must learn to choose vulnerability over authority — the Lovers teaches that real power includes the courage to need someone.”

The Breaking Point

The Emperor's need for control eventually demands that the Lovers choose him over their own deepest values.
