Hello, and welcome to Your Sign in Tarot! This series takes a look at the 12 cards of the Major Arcana, assigned to each of the 12 zodiac signs. We'll reflect on the symbolism, brief history of the card, traits of each sign, and what the card means if you see it in a reading.
Sign: Taurus
Element: Earth
Modality: Fixed
Ruled by: Venus
House: 2nd
Tarot Card: The Hierophant
About Taurus:
Ruled by the planet Venus, Tauruses are known to indulge in the finer things. Their appreciation for nature, fashion, beauty, and the arts is comparable to Libra, the other Venus ruled zodiac sign. You’ll most likely find a Taurus eating a delicious meal, watching their comfort show, surrounded by plants and beautiful artwork, and cuddled up in bed or on the couch with their favorite blankets (probably with a joint or bong nearby)! Though Tauruses have a reputation for being lazy, these Fixed signs see it as “working smarter, not harder”. Like all Earth Signs, Tauruses are loyal, dedicated workers, and determined to achieve stability in all aspects of life. You can count on a Taurus to find a cost-effective and timely solution to any problem.
About The Hierophant:
Though it may seem odd that Taurus is represented by this prestigious religious figure, the two actually have more in common than you might think. The Hierophant, adorned with a crown of authority, and a red robe of intelligence and spiritual wisdom, guides our youth as they begin to understand and integrate into the world that awaits them. The Hierophant is considered the masculine counterpart to The High Priestess, and like the hardworking Taurus, is a reliable and trusted source of information for the community. Symbolized by the Bull, Tauruses are notoriously headstrong, tenacious, and unwavering in their values and beliefs.
What It Means for You:
If the Hierophant appears in your reading, you may want to consider your traditions, beliefs, and values surrounding self. What is your belief system? What wisdom and knowledge would you like to share with the world? How can you find or cultivate a community of like-minded individuals? The Hierophant can also indicate a major lesson being learned, or a teacher or counselor coming into your life to provide guidance. It may also be calling you to stick to a “tried and true” method instead of reinventing the wheel. Now is the time to stay true to what you know best!
