The Hierophant Upright Draw Meaning
The masculine counterpart to The High Priestess is a very religious figure, sometimes called The High Priest. Like The Magician pointing up to the universe, The Hierophant also has a hand raised in benediction. However, where The Magician is surrounded by nature, The Hierophant sits before man and sits in a man-made religious building. This shows that he does not solely draw power from the universe but from the masses. Therefore, The Hierophant suggests adhering to social norms, religion, and entrance into public institutions.
For all these reasons, The Hierophant signals that counseling is on its way. Whether this is another person or circumstance, you will be guided to a series of paths–all correct. The Hierophant also means that you will not only be educated, but you will also have to take the role of a teacher, too. You will soon find the opportunity to come together with a group that will have a huge influence on your life and social standing. Continue striving to be true to yourself and make positive changes. This position holds a lot of influence, which is a powerful and intoxicating thing. What will you do with that kind of reach?
The Hierophant In Love and Relationships
The appearance of The Hierophant in terms of love and meaningful relationships is again meant to teach you something about yourself, not anyone else. The Hierophant suggests that, for those who are single, you’re ultimately deciding that position. Deep-rooted beliefs about whether or not you’re worthy of love need to be reworked before you find love. Perhaps you’re not fully trusting of family, friends, and significant others. To answer those thoughts, the Hierophant can be seen as a call of synchronization with those other people and tolerance of other opinions. This card can often signify weddings and relationships, taking the next step forward.
The Hierophant In Career And Finances
There are times in our lives when our career is not meeting our expectations. Should you draw The Hierophant during one of these episodes, it’s a clear indicator that some sort of mentor will arrive soon. This is a great time to join in on groups, even if you consider yourself a lone wolf. When integrated more completely into work culture, you will find an increase in productivity. Furthermore, because finances might not be looking very healthy, seek a financial advisor, banker, or money management advice to help you get back on track.
The ever spiritual Hierophant addresses those times when we wander away from the crowd but get lost completely. This tarot card appears to shine a light on the correct course of action.

The Hierophant Reverse Draw Meaning
The Hierophant reversed is a free spirit with a sense of rebellion, a person who is going to do things their own way and usually going to make some trouble at the same time. In a sense, they are an enlightened Fool–someone who uses heart and mind to express their originality. It’s a reminder that you’re the one person who has the courage to do what you set your mind to. Do not stray from your morals.
However, there’s also a chance that some advice you’ve been given is misinformation. Do not listen to gossip or slandering because these are not true. Believing these malicious statements will only land you in trouble. That is why you must develop the self-discipline to trust yourself and your intuition. Also, be aware of impulses that drive you to develop bad habits.
