Two cards

The Magician Tarot Card Meaning

The first numeric card in the tarot deck is the Magician card. In the story of the Tarot, the Magician is the progressed form of the Fool after having gathered all the knowledge and wisdom of the road. Now in this aspect, the Magician knows that he is in charge of his reality.

You are moving in a positive direction so do not hesitate. The keyword for the Magician is ‘I will,’ expressing that the sheer force of his will makes him capable of doing literally anything he puts his mind to. If the Magician is blessing your reading, then now is the time for you to manifest all of the dreams that you have ever wanted and make them into a reality by focusing on what they are and then connecting to your image of God who will help make them come to fruition.

The Magician says, ‘Yes, you will.’ The image of the Magician in the card shows a woman who is standing in front of the powerful altar and the star behind her represents the tools in all directions. She wields power over all of the forces of nature. If you draw this card then you are harnessing all of that power for your own life. Use it wisely.

The Magician is a card that encourages you to begin practicing deep levels of intrinsic desire-focused meditations. Connect to the image in your mind or spirit of your higher self or higher source energy and this connection will bring you a higher perspective that will transform your desires into truth. The phrase, ‘Give it to God,’ is an excellent focal point for a person influenced by the Magician’s energy because through your direct communication with God, you become capable of letting go of ‘how’ you are going to get something done and just relish in the knowledge that it WILL be. When you are presented with a decision that you feel that you absolutely cannot or do not know how to act on, do not waste your time in considering your possibilities. This is a card of action. Rather than wallowing, allow yourself to meditate on the manifestation rather than wondering how it will come to fruition.

In addition to encouraging deep meditation, the Magician also orders that you learn to focus and concentrate. The world is a very distracting place. One might ponder how it is that we get anything done. But when you have the help of the Magician you will know that it is time for you to practice the art that is the focus because you will feel drawn to the process. Meditation is a skill acquired over time and with effort. The Magician tells you that it is time to make this effort for this effort will allow you to flourish in all aspects of your life. When you are feeling caught up in this monotony that is our everyday life sometimes, turn this work into play and keep in mind that every step that you take is one that you create. If we are the ones that create our experiences then why would we ever choose a negative one? This is a question that you should ponder if this card has come up in your reading.Here is a poem I have written about my tarot card above -- listen to the words to gain greater meaning for your reading.

The Magician In Love

The idea of love or the acquisition thereof is one of the most sought-after experiences in the span of a person’s life. This pursuit of love is right up there with wanting to be a millionaire. We think about it a lot. But much like money, when it comes to love many of us has a poverty mindset. We are of the opinion that we are as worthy of great expanses of money as we are a satisfying, beautiful, romantic and electric love, and that is none at all. The fantasy of ineptitude in either of these situations is just that, a fantasy.

The Magician in love says that you are not only worthy of love, but that you must be an active participant. If you want a partner, then you have to set goals for the type of person that you want and then you have to become that person. Otherwise, why would someone so fantastic be attracted to you if you do not believe you are worthy? If you have even one thought that says that you are not worthy of love, then you must first focus on that love of self to have what you want. If love is desire, which it most assuredly is, then in this the Magician has full control of love, for he is in full control of his will and his desire. Put yourself into the place of this powerful beacon of self-worth, and know that you will get what you think about. To read more about the magician in love readings please click here

The Magician As Feelings

The magician knows exactly what to say to make things happen. It is for this reason that "as feelings" are often portrayed as a fast-talker who is capable of manipulating credible people. You may have a supernatural level of confidence if someone views you as a magician. They see you as classy, glamorous, and possess everything they like. Her gaze is fixed on the valley of flowers in my tarot card above. Nothing can shake her, or turn her head since she sees everything and is stable, established in her career and life. This person sees you as a stable lover. This relationship seems to bounce back and forth between different points just like the star behind her. It's great when a magician performs for an audience, displaying their wit and charm, but maybe displaying exclusive feelings for you. This card is positive if you pull it as a sign of someone's feelings for you as it indicates the person is attracted to you based on your many adhering qualities. I have written more detail on the Magician as feelings just click here

The Magician Love Reconciliation

The magician in regards to getting back together is normally a yes. This card is about listening to your honest answer of if you want to?, of course, all the tricks are in the bag -- and the straightforward answer is seen in the card and that is that you need to forgive yourself for landing in this relationship. Notice the points of the star above her head in my card, they align therefore, even though you have had distance from this weird tease of a relationship there is everything this magician has to make it work.

If in your reading you are wondering if someone will reconcile with you then this card shows you have been pushing for the truth. Romantic dream bubbles only last for so long. The magician is charming but you need to ask yourself: "who is manipulating?" is it you? Is it them? Pulling this card simply says that it is important to not stay in a fantasy world, that you need to engage in the dance of life and create the magic. As long as you feel good with the magician lover you can create a strong vision for the future, and keep that intoxicating lustly and probablly stressful relationship going. I do think that when this card appears in a reading it is important to make sure that you do not slide into an obsessive or boundary-pushing state especially if this card lands near the fool card. 

The Magician in Health

When the Magician card appears in a reading regarding health then it must be assumed that there is a lack of fire that has become noticeable in the person that is requesting assistance. A lack of fire in the body means a lack of desire, the potential for depression and an overall lack of momentum. In this, the Magician seeks to provide hope for the person encouraging them to take control of their circumstances and to find small ways to become active in the pursuit of overall body and emotional health. The Magician says that you can have whatever you want, and so it is important for you to focus on the good health that you desire and only on that. If you are suffering from a mental illness, then training the mind to process in this way will greatly improve your life experience. The same goes with any other physical ailment; you must choose to harness the power of the Magician and only allow thoughts of healing and progress into your mind.

The Magician in Money, Business, Career and Wealth

The Magician appears in a reading about Work and Wealth to tell you that this is the peak time for you to choose your direction and that you have full control. If you are pondering an investment, then see that endeavor working out in your mind’s eye and it will. Pursue the drive that the Magician encourages and act on opportunities that arise. When the Universe presents you with something amazing that you have been asking for, allow it to happen and act on it rather than react. When the Magician is transiting around you, you must take the action necessary to create your world.

The Magician As Action/Advice

Magicians are usually described in Tarot books as action masters. It indicates that you may just do whatever you wish, as the tools for manifestation are there. The Magician as an action can indicate an exchange of ideas, but also how important it is to look to the future, it shows that feelings might be communicated within a partnership if you have been waiting for commitments.

The power of manifesting what we want in life can be seen in the magic, it is a card that creates whatever one desires. By focusing on an outcome, visualizing it, and making it happen, magicians use their own personal power to get what they want. This principle applies to all areas of life get what we believe in and focus on. It is possible to achieve anything if we learn to trust our abilities, focus on positive outcomes, picture our desired results, and act with certainty. In order to take a leap of faith seen in the fool card previously, you need confidence and courage and that is where the magician steps in. Magicians remind us of this every time they perform an astounding trick, almost anything is possible if we believe it and take action. The possibilities are endless.

The Magician As Yes Or No

The Magician card is about manifesting -- therefore a “Yes” card. To me, this card represents desire and she holds the tools to create positive energy. If you are asking a Yes or No question the upright shows as a yes, and generally the reversed is a “no” as reversed the magician is associated with illusionary success. When carrying out Yes or No spreads remember that faith, trust, and determination can help us create a magical journey through life. By learning from Magicians, I am a true believer that you can manifest what you want, that is not to say that "everything" coming your way will work out, life is not that simple. Trusting the process and believing in ourselves is the right path to take. If the Magician cases that spell, our dreams can become a reality!

The Magician As A Person

There's something mysterious about the Magician as a person in a reading. Some would describe as being a smoothie, an engaging soul. I would describe the outer appearance as being polished, she glitters and is stunning --- just like the lady dancing on my tarot card above.

When it comes to saying the right thing, they are always on point? If you are asking about you as a person and the magician appears --- it shows you are impossibly attractive, well-spoken, assertive, and highly intelligent. It is your ability to make things work, despite all obstacles. Because you won't accept anything else, this person creates that magic in life. This person is like making a meal from a near empty fridge --- they create the impossible.

The Magician In the Past Position

In the past position, the Magician means: there is no limit to what we YOU can achieve in life — and you have probablly taken the first step towards creating it. Think about the fool's tarot journey, the Magician is the first archetype she meets --- showing that we have all the tools at our disposal, but if we think we don’t have the tools we cannot pull the rabbit out of the hat. 

The Fool has all the tools ready for the tarot journey ahead. In the past position, this can mean you've held "ideas" on how to create a total drive to make something happen. When magicians perform incredible tricks, they remind us that the key to achieving our goals is to plan and pay attention to the details. There is a power of thought if the magician appears in the past position and doors are opened to the possibilities that can open up in the future. 

The Magician In The Present Position

The mysterious magician has an insatiable appetite for success. Whenever the lady on my card wants something --- she uses magical tricks to get it. When it comes to taking risks or outsmarting opponents, magicians always rely on magic tricks. In your life, who is the Magician? Are you the Magician?

In the present position, manifesting something is likely to happen if you believe that you can make it happen if you pull the Magician next to death, star or tower then trust in yourself, focus on what YOU want, and take action with courage, faith, and conviction.

My grandmother always told me that to be a Magician, you must be able to translate your vision into reality. It is impossible to limit what people with “magic” can create. Our power can be harnessed if we learn how to use it. Having a burning desire to succeed and trusting ourselves are all we need. Deliberately venturing outside your comfort zone, you may decide to take on the risk. Only you will know what that is.

The Magician In The Future Or Outcome Position

This card as an outcome indicates that you have the potential to be a success in many areas of your life. The Magician has the power to focus and the willpower to turn anything into a profitable venture. He invokes power, making sure that you take charge of your own destiny. As the Magician is connected to Mercury in astrology he holds communication at the core of what he does. The Magician in a relationship outcome represents balance in the relationship, above all, it is what you make it. In regards to work, the outcome of laying down the Magician in the future position can indicate that hard work is needed in order to succeed. In the older tarot cards, the Magician was a street performer, and this denotes that he needs incredible skill to carry out the tricks and sleight of hand. He is not just a Magician without years of study and focus, he manifests the power and the desire to move forward with success.

The Magician As Friendship/Family

When it comes to friendships or family relations the magician is about making it through the difficult times, it could indicate that a new person will arrive in the family or friendship circle. In my view, tarot spreads can feature the magician as an image of friendship, a strong connection, and a meaningful relationship. If you are asking about existing friendships or relationships, it hints at the possibility of development and the possibility of beginning something new. For me, in terms of friendships this represents strengthening the bond between people, it could also be suggested that one should take responsibility for their actions and be honest in order to maintain the friendship. There is no doubt that the magician is a reminder that in order for friendship to blossom and grow, both effort and intention are needed despite conflicts in the past.

The Magician In The Reversed Position

When the Magician appears in the reversed position in a reading there is a level of indecision that is making you feel stuck. The solution to this is to make a decision for yourself to pull you out of your stagnant state. The reversed position points out that there is a possibility that you are using your skills in an unhealthy way that could be having a negative influence on those around you, as well as making a note that you are not building your creative muscles and are ‘living by default.’ The Universe abhors a vacuum, if you are not intending your day every single day, then the Universe is going to fill the blanks in for you. Take this moment to remember that you have full control and that the more you practice visualizing your day from start to finish including all that you want to happen, the more in control you will be and the happier and more fulfilled will be your life experience. Make sure your objectives are clear and this will lead you in the direction you have created for yourself.

The Magus, or in some decks, the Magician, is the representation of Mercury and a highly charged card in its own right. In the reversed position, this card still calls the querent to heed the advice of others and is highly influenced on the other cards around it in the reading. Chances are when it appears in this way in a reading that there is a sense of doubt in the air, with the lack of direction or feelings of inadequacy. You want to pay special attention to the surrounding cards to be able to tell whether this doubt is warranted. Indicative of indecisiveness, chances are when you see the Magus reversed there is something missing, whether it is knowledge, a clearly defined goal or the tools needed to complete a task. Some keywords associated with the Magus reversed are: Unskilled, Lack of Qualifications, Poor Timing, Lying to Oneself, Lies / Liar, Miscommunications, Poor Timing, Procrastination, Bragging, Deception

Love and Romance - Magician Reversed

In love and romance, the Magus reversed can indicate a number of things regarding the relationship. In a reading about these topics that results in this card showing reversed it indicates half-truths or mild lies at best and outright deception or trickery at the worst.

If you are concerned about a partner not being completely truthful, chances are that these feelings are correct. If there are additional warning cards in the reading, the querent need to be careful about allowing someone to get too close to them. It heeds the warning of caution. Question everything. Dig deeper. Anxieties and insecurities are likely founded.

Family and Home - Magician Reversed

In the reversed position the Magus shows a lack of direction for household stability or overall family happiness. If the querent is the head of household, they should be mindful of the fact that their house is not in order and focus on what they can do to get projects or goals completed around the house. You likely need to center your focus back to stability, making sure that budgets and life goals are in order. The family needs to come together and no one person should be in charge of household direction. Consider a family meeting or delegating household responsibilities so everyone within the home is on the same page. If you are not telling your family something, the truth will come out. Take action to control this by informing those around you of the difficulties that are being faced in the home or about household finances.

Work and Finances - Magician Reversed

Normally a positive in a reading, The Magus is a friend of business and encourages communication. However, when reversed, it can indicate a lack of communication, resisting sound advice, or being led astray by others who are not qualified to be in charge. Be careful about anyone trying to offer you something at this time, whether it is friendly on-the-job advice or a get-rich-quick scheme. Now is the time to question the direction that is being given by others and to rely on your own truths. You are likely being led astray, but you need to check with surrounding cards to see whether this is intentional. It could be someone is out to get you or to make you look bad. It also could simply be that the other person is misinformed. It is up to you to do the right thing.

Health and Wellness - Magician Reversed

If you’re dealing with a health issue, chances are that you need to see a medical professional. The Magus reversed indicates a lack of knowledge. You may want to consult multiple professionals in order to get a second opinion. This card is also indicative of bad habits (such as smoking, drinking or eating unhealthy foods) are coming back to haunt a person. If you haven’t been taking care of your health, you need to start now. Without changes, sickness or an unhealthy period is in store for the future. Take swift action for corrective changes.

Personal Spirituality - Magician Reversed

The Magus reversed indicates a disconnect with spirituality, as a person wanders aimlessly through life without a solid divine ground. If you have been feeling restless as of late, experiencing bad luck, or even nightmares that seem to be real, these are all manifestations of the lack of control of one’s spirituality. Now is the time to seek out personal techniques for spiritual healing. Meditation, prayer, and independent study are needed at this time.

The Hierophant Tarot Card Meaning

The Hierophant expresses that life is your teacher, providing you with lessons to learn for growth opportunities and the understanding that conflicting issues exist for the purpose of bringing new growth into your life. When you start to feel pressed down by the ‘shoulds’ in life, remember to listen to that higher source energy, or teacher that will show you the way. The Hierophant provides a way to gather conscious thoughts into your minds that are fed into the subconscious which assimilates and then provides you flashes of intuition. This intuition actually stretches forth from our human desire to participate in religious beliefs, which require that overarching hierarchy.

Making a wish for another person puts divine power into action. This is why prayer is so important in most religions. The act of being compassionate, of giving over your faith to a higher power to help those we love or those we don’t know provides a reverence and humbleness that is important to improve one’s character. The Hierophant’s message is for you to take your concern to God and to pray, and to allow the stillness and peace of your prayers to bring calmness to your heart and intuition to your mind. The triple cross designs on the robes of the Hierophant represent spiritual respiration. The love of nature, love of God and the love of one’s neighbors are a part of the hierarchies housed within higher source energy. Reflecting on new interests, decisions, excitement and provide a development of self. Share wisdom with others – you are a teacher.

The Hierophant in Love

The Hierophant teaches a different kind of love in reference to relationships. This is a reverent love, almost sacred. That of doing “unto others what you would have them do unto you.” This is the love of charity, of helping your fellow man. If you have received this card for a love reading then there is something that you need to learn from giving up some of your time and energy to a charity. This could also apply to friend relationships that are close enough in spirituality that you would almost call them your sister or brother. This card will usually come up when it is time for you to focus on helping one another. There is a lack of a sense of self and an emphasis on charity. When you give of yourself in this way you are creating a cycle of love that is going to be gifted back to you, because what you say is true to the Universe is true. And if you love enough to give love, then you will receive more in return. To get this card for a "love outcome" can indicate that things are supposed to be the way they are. It can mean that nothing seems to happen. It can mean that he or she sees you as the type of “marriage” person or that the other partner is married. 

The Hierophant As Feelings

If you asked about someone’s feelings the Hierophant tarot card can mean that they are "deep" and "traditional feelings" of love. It can mean that the other partner wants you to follow the rules of love and possibly they have conservative beliefs. This means there will be a traditional approach to a relationship and it can mean that they think you are the “one.” It can also mean that this person is thinking that the other is more than just a fun time!

When the Hierophant appears for feelings --- it may suggest that this person is looking for a deeper level of understanding and connection with you. It may be an indication that they are looking beyond the physical realm and exploring emotional and spiritual depths to this connection. This card can also encourage us to create a strong foundation based on shared values and beliefs, while still having enough room to grow as individuals and as a couple.

The Hierophant can also suggest that this person is letting go of any rigid beliefs or expectations, and instead focus on opening up the heart to unconditional love. It might be an invitation to trust in the power of cosmic love and its ability to heal from past toxic relationships. Pulling this card as feelings encourages us to vibrate at higher frequencies of understanding and compassion with others, and to recognize the beauty in all forms of relationship. Ultimately, when the Hierophant appears in a tarot reading, it is a reminder to embrace love in all its myriad forms, and to trust that deeper wisdom lies within us all. By paying attention to the feelings that someone has when pulling this card, we can open our hearts to a greater sense of understanding and marriage. With the Hierophant’s guidance, we can embark on a journey discovering the depths of our own spiritual truths, guided by its deep wisdom and cosmic light. 

The Hierophant As Love Reconciliation

When the Hierophant appears in a tarot spread for love reconciliation, it often suggests that old systems are coming into play, I always see this card as the “I will marry you” tarot card. To fully reconcile with a loved one, it may be necessary to “let go of old ways of thinking”, and I also feel embrace those new possibilities. The word 'Hierophant' itself is derived from the Greek words for 'sacred bearer of knowledge', suggesting inner wisdom has a strong role in this process. The tarot card also brings ideas about how we navigate relationships: if you look at the sphere he is holding up on my tarot card it speaks to us of holding onto what is golden in life - not just material possessions, but valuable beliefs that are timeless. Essentially, if the Hierophant shows up in a tarot reading for love reconciliation, it indicates the need to rise above our individual materialistic aspirations and seek out deeper meaning in life, it also shows that love is likely to reconcile and end up in possibly marriage. 

The Hierophant In Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

In careers, the Hierophant indicates a mentor or someone that is able to provide “inside” information in a company. This card can imply that you are networking or that you will soon meet someone that can guide you through the tradition of a company. As an outcome position, the Hierophant indicates a position of authority in an organization will help you. In some cases, this card could represent a company as a whole but more likely a particular male in a father, priest or mentor capacity. The Hierophant in a business venture states clearly that your focus needs to be on spiritual endeavors instead of monetary ones. If you find that work and the acquisition of wealth are not working out the way that you would prefer, then the Hierophant says to take a break out of your normal routine and examine what necessities you have and need, and which are luxuries that are actually weighing you down. Consider giving up something of yours to help someone else, or just get rid of negative emotions around work - to lighten your personal load. But, overall I will say that this card is all about being guided by a male figure.

In finances, the card indicates the need for guidance in a similar way as with health. Often it is a note that you need to contact some sort of financial advisor. In readings, it can indicate debt reduction skills are needed or even issues concerning the court systems. It is less about paying solicitor fees and more about having to give money to government or charity. As a note: The Hierophant card can indicate tax issues as well as a contract of employment.

In business, readings drawing this card can mean a trade or business that indicates traditional techniques will win over clients. The Hierophant is a “mentor” is traditional and old school. In business, this could represent you. Skilled in your trade and across the next few years you will learn to allot. The Hierophant is a father/minister or a work mentor. This card is also about rules and obeying them. Maybe you have broken the rules in business in the past and this is saying that you need to act more in line with tradition. As he holds the key, this implies that “tradition” will enable success. Additionally, he is quite rigid in his approach and can come across as being pragmatic. Additionally, in the readings I have carried out for people in business - I see this card as “big business” it normally represents a corporation. This card can mean that you may achieve great things.

The Hierophant For Action/Advice

Generally, if you pull this card for advice means that tradition and blessings will be yours. There is a focus on being taught and teaching. What do you need to learn? There is also personal power and the need to figure things out yourself. There is also a focus on marriage and meeting people. In advice position for love, the hierophant means that you need to stick to tradition and high standards. Be ladylike is your advice or a gentleman.

Try to be old fashioned, do the honorable thing like you would with traditional dating. This card is also connected to finding someone you can have a laugh with and stimulate each other and develop a spiritual connection. It can signify a man that is traditional and has a slow pace at getting things done. 

The Hierophant Yes Or No

The Hierophant is known as a “yes” card when upright, for he is the spiritual pope of tarot, blessing the seeker's journey with sound and wise advice. He represents not only two worlds, but three -- a spiritual realm, material realm, and psychic realm -- the Hierophant stands poised between them all. Often taking on the form of a figure with hands raised to express an act of benediction. This card can bring up questions in tarot readings regarding our connection to organized faith, morality and hidden secrets within shifting social structures. By revealing both answers offered by their benevolent guidance and hidden mysteries of the heart -- the Hierophant brings forth insight into what “yes or no” decision best serves us.

The Hierophant in Health

Emotional issues come into the spread when the Hierophant is present. Many who experience some level of religious or spiritual restriction in one way or another are suffering some kind of energy block within their body. Consider the help that can come from giving of your time, experiencing the perspective of understanding that there are others in this world that have it worse than you do so that you can be grateful for what you do have. This will greatly improve your health. Often the Hierophant is a card about seeking help as well. Usually, this card will come up when dealing with intense emotion and can signify the need for counseling or guidance. If you are going through an exceptionally difficult time in your life it is okay to ask others around you for assistance or find ways to learn new coping skills so that you can grow and move forward.

The Hierophant As A person

As a person, we often seek out a Hierophant like one seeks solace; we find in them the amortization of pain, or joy and life-changing glory. We come to them because of an ego-driven hunger to switch our lives - to be breath away from a social stranglehold. We find them as a glimpse into a different future - where love, hope and knowledge are met with an open heart. If your lover sees you as the Hierophant then they walk away from every encounter as a changed being, grateful for the wisdom you have brought to them. 

The Hierophant In the Past Position

The Hierophant drawn in the past position speaks of repeating patterns and traditions. This allows us to connect to an established, internal compass; like a living portal that navigates through the seas of knowledge. The Hierophant reminds us to celebrate our culture and heritage, for it is through this that we are able to coexist with each other and make meaningful connections. Allowing us to continue repeating patterns from one generation to the next — this creates a sense of comfort and community, allowing us to focus on life's greater meaning. When drawn in the past, the Hierophant can indicate structures have been built and created in order to fully move forward.

The Hierophant In The Present Position

In our modern “Google” age, the Hierophant appears in the present position as a giant reminder of our giant stupid egos and the horribleness that can come with it. When this card appears we may be struggling to overcome terrible impulses brought about by psycho-chick love or other difficult emotions, but we must always remember that the Hierophant is pointing us back to where we should strive for; true understanding and higher understanding that will illuminate those dark times. With patience and determination, we can all make the most of this new life-affirming chapter in our lives.

The Hierophant In The Future Position

An air of haphazard yet purposeful effuses from the Hierophant in the Future Position. One feels as if one must marry it for life and prepare for its whimsicality, high maintenance, and fluctuating schedules. In a tumultuous world, this tarot card serves as an anchor of hope and guidance - always inspiring you to reach the stars. Embracing such an unpredictable companion for life is no wonder many have accepted it! The Hierophant is a powerful card for the future, and he brings people back together who have been estranged. He can also indicate new beginnings in relationships. When the Hierophant appears in your outcome position it is a reminder to stay true to yourself and your beliefs. Have faith in yourself and trust that you are on the right path, it can also predict a marriage or “togetherness” in the future.

The Hierophant As Friendship Or Family

The Hierophant is a tarot card in a spread about family or friends shows the importance of social conformity and traditional values. It can be read as a sign of struggling to conform, often ignoring the torturous successes along the way. Yet the parallels between friendship and family, where values are shared and cherished, and bonds are forged through trust and understanding, are rarely recognized. According to the Hierophant, there are strong bonds between individuals when he appears --- that enable us to grow together in peace and love, and offer us comfort through life's tribulations.

 

 

Reversed Meaning - The Hierophant

When the Hierophant appears in a reading in the reversed position, you will have exactly the opposite experience. Instead of feeling compelled to follow a religious and spiritual order that is structured, you will feel more open or carefree. You will not feel weighted down by your earthly possessions because they do not own you. One caution to be aware of for the Hierophant reversed position is that you do not become overly superstitious, so much that it gets in the way of leading a happy and healthy life. The Hierophant in the reversed position can also signify being out of balance. Be careful of manic or overspending episodes, being too blunt or honest, or extending your opinion in areas where it is not wanted.

The Hierophant I always feel reminds us to take a step back from the status quo, to break away from traditional or restrictive teachings. At the same time, this position can represent the need for new knowledge and the freedom to explore such realms with an open mind. It implies an understanding of one's quest for personal growth and a desire to seek out whatever wisdom is needed in order to meet life’s challenges in ever-evolving ways. Reversed, the hierophant speaks of a rebelling against rigid Enlightenment thought, embracing instead a journey without walls or boundaries - one marked by curiosity, creativity and mindfulness that leads to higher truths.

Love and Romance - Hierophant Reversed

If the Hierophant is reversed, love and romance can mean all rules have been broken and barriers have been smashed. In this case, there is an openness for lovers to explore their passions freely, with no restrictions or judgements from outside sources. This may be a time of transformation, when we allow ourselves to break free from our preconceived notions of love and instead create something beautiful and unique out of our relationship. We are encouraged to open our hearts, take risks and express our deepest desires without fear, so that we can build something extraordinary together. Despite any challenges that come with this liberating experience, the rewards are plentiful for those brave enough to journey down this road to joy and liberation.

Family and Home - Hierophant Reversed

By pulling the reversed Hierophant, family and home have been given a challenging twist. We must remember to be flexible and open-minded in our understanding of how our “family and home life” manifest themselves. It may be through a traditional nuclear family, it may be through a chosen set of friends, or it may even be through a rotating group of strangers that we draw support from. Home could even be a metaphysical space that traverses the landscape or is accessed only within the recesses of the soul. This card is telling you to redefine your ideas about the concept of home and interweave new definitions of family into our tales - for perhaps then we can truly call them our own.

Work and Finances - Hierophant Reversed

The Hierophant Reversed for a work reading indicates that there is a need to make changes in the way we think about work and finances. Rather than relying on outdated systems, he encourages you to take creative steps forward and establish a new path that takes into account our individual needs. As a result, we have the freedom to express ourselves at work without being constrained by rigid rules or regulations. Reevaluating our economic structure to make sure it works for everyone involved, instead of supporting only a small part of society, is also suggested by the Hierophant Reversed. Using boldness, resilience, and ingenuity, we can turn financial struggles into abundance, allowing YOU to live more abundantly without feeling guilty.

Health and Wellness - Hierophant Reversed

The Hierophant Reversed, for health indicates energy and many possibilities. This card is about getting more fit and healthy and being worried about the traditional things when reversed. Instead of focusing purely on restrictions, it is a card that encourages exploring new paths that mean better health and balance. Reframing how you view self-care practices will help you get a better relationship towards food and self-care practices.

Personal Spirituality - Hierophant Reversed

An apology may feel necessary when personal spirituality is reversed - don't apologize! Embrace being in this sacred yet imperfect space. Don't let overbearing teachings or ideals overrun your inner haven; rather, rely upon the power held in veracity and the deeper sense of self that can be found within. Don't forget the freedom you have to create your own treasure chest of understanding and gifts. Each teaching has something special to offer and empower from - make sure it's one that feels true and brings light to your spiritual journey!

In summary, the Hierophant tarot card shows on my card a powerful figure who represents religious authority and knowledge. His guidance and insight are valuable, but he should also be respected and heeded. In a reading, his presence suggests that it may be time to seek out wisdom from a teacher or mentor. I always believe that in times of difficulty or crisis this card shows that we should trust our intuition and let the Hierophant guide you on your path.
