The Emperor, IIII. Note that in the Tarot of Marseilles the 4 as well as the 9, the 14 and the 19 which in the Tarot are indicated by Roman numerals, They are always given by the sum of the previous plus one. Ie 4 that would be in Roman numerals IV in the Tarot is III I, the 9 IX that would instead VIIII, or VIII I. This is an aspect that indicates the growth of the route suggested by the Tarot instead of a subtraction.
The number 4 symbolizes the safety in the material world; The Emperor is, in summary, the stability land. It is the starting point and the confidence to embark on new experiences. They, instead, the 4 It is considered a purpose, then it will lead to stagnation and decay.
