In a Tarot Reading, is the Hierophant a Yes or No?

The Hierophant is in the sixth position in the Major Arcana. It represents tradition, spiritual guidance, and conformity. Also known as the High Priest, when he appears in a reading, it’s often a sign to seek wisdom from established structures or to follow conventional paths.

In a yes or no tarot reading, the Hierophant is generally a yes.

The Hierophant is the masculine counterpart to the High Priestess and in the Rider-Waite Tarot, he is depicted sitting between two pillars, holding a staff and making a gesture of blessing over the men before him. He wears a papal crown, symbolizing divine authority.

Is the Upright Hierophant Yes or No

The upright Hierophant is a yes card.

In a general reading, the upright Hierophant suggests that sticking to traditional values, following established practices, or seeking guidance from a mentor will lead to success.

When it comes to career, the Hierophant is a strong yes, especially if your path is connected to spirituality or mentorship. It points to success through following the rules, working within a structured environment, or gaining wisdom from an experienced source.

In love, the Hierophant suggests a “yes” for those seeking a committed, traditional relationship. It indicates the possibility of marriage or deep spiritual connection.

For reconciliation, the Hierophant offers a hesitant yes. Patience and clear communication will be key to success.

Is the Reversed Hierophant Yes or No

The reversed Hierophant is a no card.

But, that also depends on your question.

Overall, the reversed Hierophant suggests rebellion against tradition or questioning authority. It can indicate a need to break free from rigid structures that no longer serve you.

For career questions, the reversed Hierophant is likely a no. It points to struggles with authority, feeling stifled by bureaucracy, and a need for a more creative or unconventional career or at least a new approach. If you’re more of the iconoclast type or looking to innovate, the reversed High Priest would suggest you’re heading in the right direction.

In love, the reversed Hierophant indicates resistance to traditional commitment or that a relationship dynamic is too restrictive. It may also warn of conflict over expectations.

Regarding reconciliation, this card implies that fundamental differences in values or beliefs may be too great to overcome. Getting back together would require breaking past patterns or expectations.
