Tarot Card for the Week of 8-26-12

With the Hierophant as the tarot card for the week, this might be the week that you will need to call upon a trusted mentor or counselor for inspiration or some unbiased advice. Also, ask yourself if you are gossiping a little too much without having all of the facts? Are you breaking away from traditions or conventional ways? Has a person shown up to keep you on track this week? At the end of the week, you decide if the Hierophant card fell in the upright or reversed position for you.

 


MAJOR ARCANA NUMBER 5

ASTROLOGICAL SIGN or PLANET: TAURUS, JUPITER, MARS

He is a conformist. He is a staunch and worthy defender of the tried and true. This card may be an indication that you could use the direction offered by a group, depending on your needs and situation. Embrace traditions and rituals, but always think for yourself or call upon someone you consider a mentor to guide you.
REVERSED:
The Hierophant card signifies poor advice, single-mindedness and unconventional behavior. The card may refer to a rebellious individual, a nonconformist.

This card may also be a warning that you should not partake in gossiping or slandering. There is a tendency for manipulation in a relationship and any distortion of the truth causes discord.
