The Major Arcana Tarot card associated with Taurus is The Hierophant.
By Michelle Crandell
If your astrological sign is Taurus, The Hierophant is the Tarot Major Arcana card representing the natural gifts you can use to actualize your life’s purposes. The Hierophant journey: to learn about and teach what gives life meaning and purpose; to promote faith, hope, and charity.
The Hierophant teaches about the world beyond family/tribe by imparting information and inspiration. A good consultant, especially on practical matters such as money management, home improvement, and creating community, The Hierophant looks to solve problems and wants to help others. Teaching others how to produce and implement what is valuable physically or spiritually is the domain of The Hierophant.
Periodically, The Hierophant needs to overcome traditional thoughts and broaden their beliefs. By listening to different outlooks and seeing different lifestyles, The Hierophant learns that no single belief system can define the whole of reality. Developing tolerance for originality and inventiveness adds to The Hierophant’s ability to bring beauty and creativity into the real world.
The Hierophant has faith in self and in others, in family, and community. Their faith may be tested by fear of defeat, disappointment, opposition, or worry. They do best when they see these experiences as challenges and learning experiences, contributing to self-improvement.
Archetypes: Holy Man, Priest, Pope, Kronos, Inner Teacher, Minister. Shadow archetypes: False Prophet, jihadist, exploitive spiritual leader, hypocrite, people who use tradition, dogma, moral frameworks, or “martyrdom” to exclude others or have power over them.
