I think that on a general development level, you could already play Emperor. You’re already showing some of the basic traits and qualities of Ascension.
But.
In this immediate period of time, you’ll be having a lot on your plate. With your move and your new opportunity, there will be quite a bit of new conditions to process. Thankfully, these are largely positive and good. But the mind needs time and support to process positive changes just as it needs time with negative ones.
Recon does not only come from subliminals. Anyone who makes big, brave moves in their life is going to deal with some recon. There’ll be recon just from your move, new city, and new job alone; but you’ll handle it well and should adapt quickly.
I think that, during your initial adjustment phase, it would be a good idea to play Ascension alone for one cycle (~2 to 3 weeks) and to then start stacking it with True Sell.
This should be a smooth and easy combination to process. It should remind you of the best parts of who you are and what you know can do; without overloading you too much.
You may very quickly see what those programs can do for you. You seem perfectly suited to benefit from both of them right now.
Then, the dust settles from your move. You adjust to the job and the city and start feeling a sense of “I think I’ve got this”. You look around yourself and you’re feeling a positive sense of hunger and ambition to expand (i.e., seeing what is possible, having specific ideas of what you want and what you’d like to go for).
That is when I’d recommend swapping out Ascension and starting on Emperor. Even after you start with Emperor, I think it may be good to to keep running True Sell.
I don’t think it will take very long for you to get to that point. You may end up playing Ascension for 1 to 3 play periods. But if you love how easy Ascension is for you to process and how well it works, you may choose to stay with it longer. That’s a good approach too.
But once you feel settled, aware of opportunities, and ambitious to expand; that’ll indicate that you are more than ready for the shift to Emperor.
Short version:
You are developmentally ready for Emperor now, but you may benefit from ramping up to it over a couple of months.
