Readings
Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
The Sun
Upright
Positivity, fun, warmth, success, vitality
The Sun symbolizes victory, radiance, and wealth by being the most positive card in the Tarot deck. People are attracted to you because you can always see the bright side and bring warmness to other their lives. This lovely, warm energy is what will get you through the hard times and help you recover. You are also in a place where you can share your most powerful qualities and successes with others. Reflect who you are; illuminate your love on people you care about.
If you are going through a challenging time, the Sun declares you the information you have been waiting for: things will get a lot better from now on!
The Sun combines you to your power center – not egotistical power, but the inner strength is shining through. You can feel it in your Solar Plexus chakra, calling you to express yourself freely and be fully in present.
The Sun is also a dynamic card. It reflects a moment when you feel an improvement in physical energy and overall positivity, you are bursting with enthusiasm.
Reversed
Inner child, feeling down, overly optimistic
The reversed Sun is calling to your inner child. We get so wasted in the chaos of daily life as adults that we forget how to have fun. But if you watch a child playing, and you will realize how wonderful life can be when you learn to let go of your anxieties. When the Sun reversed appears in your Tarot reading, see it as your confirmation message to leave behind your responsibilities, even just for a while, and set your inner child free.
Anyway, the Sun is never a negative card, so this is only momentary. The barriers you see can be cleared if you put your creativity into it.
On the other hand, you may be overly optimistic. While you are overly confident, you may have become out of touch with what you can accomplish. Are you honest with yourself and others? Are you unrealistic? Are you really as great as you believe you are?
The Hierophant
Upright
Spiritual wisdom, religious beliefs, conformity, tradition,institutions
The Hierophant card is often associated with religion and other formal theories and signifies an established collection of spiritual beliefs. Before you can discover and build your own spiritual experience and make your own decisions (as associated with the next card, the Lovers), the Hierophant encourages you to learn the fundamental principles from trusted sources.
Work with a teacher, mentor, or guide who nourishes your spiritual consciousness and helps you access the Divine by learning the traditions and core principles. Also you may be taking on the role of teacher to others. In this position, you honour and recognize your responsibility to share your knowledge in a structured way.
The Hierophant‘s appearance hints that you are following customs and staying within the bounds of a ‘tried and tested’ pattern. You are not yet willing to go out or offer any innovative ideas. Instead, you rely on the key principles and rules that you know will take you to a successful result.
The Hierophant may call you to acknowledge your family traditions or sacred rituals that is forgotten. You are being asked to commit to spiritual tradition in its most complete form – no customisation, no adaptation, no bending the rules. Sometimes, in love reading this card can also indicate commitment or marriage.
The Hierophant Tarot card often speaks to group membership or being part of an organization. You may enjoy a deep sense of comfort being surrounded by people who have well-established belief systems and specific preferences.
Reversed
Personal beliefs, freedom, challenging the status quo
The reversed Hierophant hints you that you are your own teacher. All the wisdom you seek arises from within – not from external world. You are being led to follow your own path and start your own spiritual joruney rather than blindly following others’. You will learn to trust your inner voice and step into your inner knowledge over time. Others may question your urges to go against tradition, but you will know that now is the time.
You see alternative methods of seeing the world and are ready to test and evaluate the very ideas and theories you were taught were the ‘truth’. You no longer follow the crowd and accept the firm structures, tradition and dogma around you; instead, you seek out opportunities to reclaim personal power. If you feel restricted or constrained, now is the time to make your own rules and get back your sense of freedom.
The Hierophant reversed is like a rebellious and revolutionary teenager who begins to question society. There may be a conflict with a parent or authoritative figure.
