INTERPRETATION 
The archetype of the Hierophant represents knowledge and education in it's most accepted form. When you draw this card it indicates that traditional values are appropriate for any action, but also that your inner spiritual soul needs expression.

If you are asking a relationship question, the Hierophant signifies that someone is acting in a conventional way or that you must seek out the guidance of someone who acts as a guru or mediator. It can also indicate that you must conform to certain rules if you are to move ahead with your plans. 

If the Hierophant is drawn in a "you now" position, you may be stuck in your ways and are unwilling to adapt to others. Clinging to the past means that you can't move on and accept the necessary changes that will improve your life. 

In the "future" position, the Hierophant often represents a specific person you will meet - a guru, spiritual advisor or teacher who has good advice and should be trusted. It also signifies meeting with someone you feel you've known before and with whom you have an immediate rapport. 

The most important lesson the Hierophant teaches is that, however much you may trust or stick to your own beliefs, there are others who have their own too. You may be battling against restrictions imposed by others or perhaps circumstances , or an orthodox group of people is limiting the free-spirited, independent side of your nature.
