The Hierophant in Love | Daily Tarot Card Meanings for Relationships
"Navigating tradition and values."
The Hierophant card in tarot symbolizes tradition, spirituality, and adherence to values. In a love reading, this card represents the importance of staying true to oneself and one's beliefs in relationships. Whether you're starting a new relationship, maintaining a long-term partnership, or seeking romance, the Hierophant urges you to honor your values and find balance in love.
The Hierophant (Upright) in a Love Reading
New Relationship
The Hierophant can be a little shy at first. He (or she) might attempt to avoid conversations that are too direct, especially when it comes to his feelings. Try not to rush or pressure him into moving forward faster than he is ready. The Hierophant is often interested in a partner who unselfishly honors a commitment to a purpose greater than themselves.
Long Term Partnership
Many Hierophant people are either married or expect to be. The Hierophant will always honor his commitment to his family and their traditions. Although he is often uncompromising, his intentions most often originate from a good place. Like the Emperor, the Hierophant is extremely stubborn and seeks a partner that is able to bend where he cannot.
Seeking Romance
The Hierophant encourages you to seek a partner that shares your values. You may be establishing higher standards and now require honor, trust, and consistency from others before you make a commitment. Superficial and disingenuous people will no longer cut it for you.
The Hierophant (Reversed) in a Love Reading
New Relationship
The Hierophant reversed may represent someone who is already married or committed to another person, family, or obligation. Image is everything to the Hierophant reversed. He (or she) may not want to upset the maintenance of the status quo. Projecting an image can sometimes come at the expense of his truth.
Long Term Partnership
The Hierophant reversed can represent a partner who is fixed, uncompromising, and set in their ways. If you remain in this partnership believing you can eventually change his ways, you are mistaken. Once he has made up his mind, it will be difficult to persuade him to see things otherwise.
Seeking Romance
Upright or reversed, the Hierophant encourages you to have faith that all will work out under the benevolent guidance of the Universe. You may have to release your need to control and allow what is yours to come to you. Trust that the romance that is meant to find you, will be. Let go of negative beliefs surrounding what you think is truly possible for you.
