Is the Hierophant Tarot Card A Yes or No?

In tarot readings if you are looking for a straight yes or no question and then pull the Hierophant this can hold a deep and profound meaning in tarot. The Hierophant is a great card that helps you in life. I like to think of this card as a “yes” card if you are asking about action or love. 

If love is your main question and you draw this card in your tarot reading then it means you're dealing with an indecisive air sign Gemini, Libra or an Aquarius most of the time. I feel when you pull this card for a yes or no answer this has a lot to do with interferences in life.  There is also a father figure issue or a mommy issue that you or someone else has grown up with - and it's almost as if this will distract you in the future.

The Hierophant Upright - "Yes Or No" For Love?

When the Hierophant pops up in the upright in a love reading, it is my belief that this is “a sign” of commitment and stability. If you are asking about your love relationships, pulling this card is connected to saying "yes" to marriage and having a family. In love readings, this card drawn is marriage, long-term commitments, and family values. I always see this card as the marriage card of the deck. It often represents someone that is married or that marriage is coming for you. This card is about being married and connected to some proposals in life, this card is about making up your mind and being happy with the choices you have made. But what if you're single? I have found pulling this card, when single is connected to a potential partnership that is out of the blue. This tarot card makes sure that you are connected to who you are suppose to be connected with in life. 

The Hierophant Reversed - "Yes Or No" For Love?

Now, think of this, drawing the hierophant reversed is a bit like walking into a room where the church is reversed, he is holding that gold ball which would be dropping on the floor.  When pulling this card reversed, the Hierophant is normally a card to me about “pushing” the norms. It is like maybe you have fell for someone who is married or taken. Traditionally you just can’t have them. Or they won’t commit to marriage say. 

If you’re in a relationship, this card is about commitment. If you are single then you might feel the need to break free from so many pressures in life. This card also means exploring different paths in love. This is a card that is like a new path in the forest, which leads to really odd or silly experiences in life. The reversed Hierophant means you need to question what is your reality. I remember once I pulled this for someone who was not committing to me, and was married. When pulling for the question “will we be together” clearly it was a no we would not. This was simply because he was married if you get my drift. 

The Hierophant Upright - A "Yes Or No" For Advice/Action?

If you are looking for advice or action, pulling an upright Hierophant represents a firm "yes." as I have said before above. Depending on what your question is it is like opening a book filled with tons of wisdom. It normally comes out in a tarot reading to remind you that there is strength in what you can learn in life. I often see this card pulled when we need to break something up in life.

A reversed Hierophant offers a clear "no" for sticking to tradition without thought. Picture a classroom where students are flipping desks for a better view. This card is in my view about the time to question something that is not right in your life.

When making decisions, consider different ways to focus in life. The reversed Hierophant encourages creativity and independence. The Hierophant (generally) is a great card helping you in life. I like to think of this card as a “yes” card if you are asking about action or love. 

If love, this card means that when it comes to this relationship you have been losing so much for you lately, and I feel like you're dealing with an indecisive air sign Gemini Libra or an Aquarius.
