Career, Work Or Retirement:

You may find that a teacher or mentor of some sort that you have been needing appears in your life now and/or you could be called upon to be that teacher or mentor for someone else. This is a good time to get involved with groups even if you don’t think of yourself as a ‘group person,’ as you will find that you have much to learn from them (in a very positive way.) Work should be going very well provided you are able to be organized and work within the rules.

Complete Book of Tarot: Hebrew letter: Vau, Vav, or Waw (a tent peg; a Hebrew word meaning to hook, add, fasten or secure something to prevent it from slipping; the hook, peg, or nail that is used to secure the curtains of the tabernacle). The Hierophant often ‘fastens’ people together in matrimony.

Tarot for Beginners: As the 5th character in the Major Arcana, this card carries the energies of change and expansion, which are best balanced with tradition and conformity. If the High Priestess points to the inner mystery of our experience, the Hierophant points to its outward expression, where we have to determine the difference between right and wrong.
