5. The Heirophant - Get With The Program!

You'll never hear the word Hierophant unless you're talking to a tarot reader. The Hierophant was a priest in ancient Greece but he lives on today on the fifth card in the major arcana tarot deck. He is the symbol of conformity and tradition and he follows the pioneering Aries Emperor whose revolutionary ideas have now evolved into an established pattern. The Hierophant's job is to be priest like in maintaining the routine - without question and without change. When The Heirophant appears in your spread he's telling you your dealing with an entrenched belief system and if you're going to be successful you better get with the program..

As we focus on The Heirophant this week you may find yourself recognizing there are certain formalities that must be followed if your life is going to evolve beyond childish games to higher levels of understanding. You may have brilliant natural abilities, but you still need to follow the rules, take the classes, put in the time to get society's rewards and recognition . 

The Heirophant represents the sign Taurus, the sign of stability. It's as if the innovative Emperor in the last card is ever going to establish a real empire he's going to have to stop exploring and make a map - develop a predictable world of rules and routine. It used to be passing on the knowledge and rules of community living was the job of the church. Nowadays we don't look to the priests so much to dictate our daily lives, so Heirophant energy in today's world often manifests in the form of the rituals around work. The Hierophant will often represent your job, especially if you work for a large company where there is a chain of command and specific requirements that cannot be side stepped. The picture on the card shows two devoted neophytes listening to the priest's teachings. The idea is that by learning the rules one will become a member of the community.

If you are looking for employment, receiving the Heirophant is a very positive omen for getting work with a large established organization - though you'll still have to fill out the application and smile for the interview. If he is surrounded with negative cards you might be getting a warning that the new job will require your complete devotion or that the boss wants to be worshipped as a god.

The Heirophant is the partner of The High Priestess. She represents patience and waiting. He symbolizes faith and ritual. Together they instruct us to be patient and faithfully attend to our daily rituals. Interestingly, as the High Priestess represents the Moon and the Heirophant is connected with the sign Taurus, together we have Moon in Taurus, the most positive placement for the moon and indicating the manifestation of abundance and good fortune. Perhaps this is a  promise that quiet devotion will bring reward? A quick peek to next week's card -The Lovers! - reveals just what that reward might be.

Until then, keep the faith -

Fondly,

Rosada
