The masculine counterpart to The High Priestess is a very religious figure, sometimes called The High Priest. Like The Magician pointing up to the universe, The Hierophant also has a hand raised in benediction. However, where The Magician is surrounded by nature, The Hierophant sits before man and sits in a man-made religious building. This shows that he does not solely draw power from the universe but from the masses. Therefore, The Hierophant suggests adhering to social norms, religion, and entrance into public institutions.
For all these reasons, The Hierophant signals that counseling is on its way. Whether this is another person or circumstance, you will be guided to a series of paths–all correct. The Hierophant also means that you will not only be educated, but you will also have to take the role of a teacher, too. You will soon find the opportunity to come together with a group that will have a huge influence on your life and social standing. Continue striving to be true to yourself and make positive changes. This position holds a lot of influence, which is a powerful and intoxicating thing. What will you do with that kind of reach?
