What does the Hierophant card mean?
This card is about spirituality, philosophy, morality and religion, all of which are depicted through its images.
The Hierophant is a religious figure – depicted through the crown he wears, the seated position on a throne between pillars, as well as the papal cross and triple scepter in his hand. He sits in the holy temple in red, blue and white clothes, depicting the three worlds he rules: consciousness, subconsciousness and superconsciousness. You can also see crossed keys between his feet, alluding to his power over the conscious and subconscious realms that only he can unlock.
The hierophant’s right hand is raised in blessing, two fingers pointing up to heaven (heaven) and two fingers down (hell). The two people kneeling before the Hierophant are his disciples, who yearn for spiritual knowledge from him in order to gain a role in the church.

What does upright Hierophant mean?
Nestled between the Emperor and the Lover, the Hierophant gives the strength of the Emperor and the desire for intellectual growth of the Lover. Before making decisions through the Lover, it is essential to have the hidden foundations and value system of the Hierophant for making educated and effective decisions.
Pulling this card can be an indication that it’s time to pass on your wisdom to others now that you’ve mastered a topic or gained knowledge about it. Your subject and teaching expertise and experience can help someone.
The Hierophant also speaks of order in times of chaos. Finding the right balance between different perspectives and energies can benefit your present and future. Being rational instead of impulsive can help you achieve your goals because you are pragmatic and reasonable.
This card wants us to do the right and just thing. Don’t be fooled and don’t take shortcuts. Treat others as you would like to be treated and then you will win in everything you do.
What does the reversed Hierophant tarot card represent?
Hierophant upright indicates an external desire for approval and acceptance. When reversed, the Hierophant encourages us to connect with ourselves and intuition. The reversed Hierophant means that you are taking a new approach to a situation or relationship and that you are forging your own path rather than following the herd.
Being an individual can be challenging because you have to do things independently. Instead of doing what is expected of us, we will reject the natural order of life and do what we think is right. At this moment, a rebellious streak may come to the fore, forcing you to step out of your comfort zone. There may be problems or conflicts with authority figures or leaders, so the withdrawal of the reversed Hierophant may mean that we begin to question the rules and the status quo.
What does the Hierophant tarot card mean in astrology?
The Hierophant is associated with the zodiac sign Taurus. Like the Hierophant, Taurus strongly believes and identifies with their beliefs and rarely deviates from them, as a fixed earth sign. They are arranged in stability and harmony and love to impart their wisdom to others.
There is an unwillingness to change ideology or feelings with this card. Since the Hierophant is said to connect us to the divine and teach us important lessons, this can be attributed to Venus, the planetary ruler of Taurus, who represents divine love. Also, the Hierophant depicts our value system, social norms and other feelings ruled by the sign Taurus and its planetary ruler Venus.
Since the Hierophant is the fifth card in the Major Arcana, we can judge that it carries the same feeling as the numerological correlation with this number. The fundamental lesson of the number five is to control the whims of the imagination and temper.
The possibilities may seem endless, but the key is to buckle down and map out the direction you want to take in life. It’s about controlled outcomes and conformity, even though we feel we have freedom.
Seeking a higher understanding of our purpose through meditation, religion, or the advice of others can lead us to glory.
