A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.
However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.
As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the The Hierophant card and The Moon card together in particular.
The The Hierophant card and The Moon have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.
What does The Hierophant and The Moon mean together?
The Hierophant tarot card and The Moon tarot card together can be a sign to take stock of what traditions and expectations are important to you, and to trust your intuition as you consider any changes you may need to make in order to live authentically. The Hierophant can remind you to honor conventional expectations in a way that serves you and your life, while The Moon warns of unseen problems or ideas yet to be uncovered and encourages you to trust your instinct and be open to voluntary changes.
The meaning may differ depending on what you are asking. Here are some common questions and their possible meanings
What does The Hierophant and The Moon mean together for your love life?
When The Hierophant tarot card and The Moon card are connected in your love life, it could indicate that it is time to look at the traditional expectations and conventions that have been set for your love life. It could mean that you should examine the expectations that you have of yourself and your partner and whether they are in line with what is expected and accepted by society. Some of the questions you could be asking yourself are: Are the expectations in our relationship realistic? Do I feel a sense of conformity or security when I follow these expectations? Perhaps, the expectations are no longer in line with your current relationship needs and it is time to re-evaluate the expectations and look at the possibility of voluntarily making changes.
The Moon card is closely connected to the subconscious, so when it is drawn alongside The Hierophant, it could indicate that in order to make the appropriate changes, you need to consider the hidden, deeper issues in your relationship. It could also be a sign that you should trust your intuition and instincts when making decisions.
Ultimately, The Hierophant and The Moon tarot card combination in a reading about love life suggests that it is time to question conventional expectations and look at whether they are still appropriate for you. It could also be a message to look at the subconscious issues that may be hindering the healthy development of your relationship and trust your intuition when deciding whether or not to make necessary changes.
What does The Hierophant and The Moon mean together for your finances?
The combination of The Hierophant and The Moon Tarot cards suggests that you are feeling a great deal of pressure from traditional, conventional expectations when it comes to your finances and job. No matter how hard you have tried to create your own path, you may have found that certain societal norms have hindered your progress. The Moon card in this combination implies that there are unseen problems that are causing further issues. You may feel held back by the expectations of others, when it comes to managing your finances and job, leaving you with a sense of vulnerability and lack of control.
The combination of cards urges you to pay close attention to your intuition when deciding how to move forward in these areas. Your instincts can provide invaluable wisdom, giving you the strength to navigate the complex decisions that come with managing your finances and job. The Hierophant card reminds you that it is important to take a balanced approach. You don’t want to make decisions that contradict the traditional expectations of society, but you also don’t want to be consumed by them.
You can use the guidance of The Moon and The Hierophant in this combination to make empowered decisions in regards to your finances and job. Though it may be difficult to part from the conventional expectations you face, it is important to trust your intuition and listen to what it is telling you. As long as you stay true to yourself while balancing social expectations, you will be in a great position to make the right choices that best suit your financial and job goals.
What does The Hierophant and The Moon mean together for your health?
The Hierophant tarot card and The Moon tarot card together mean that it is important to maintain your health within the realm of traditional expectations and conventional health practices, while recognizing that there are unseen problems that can arise. The Hierophant tarot card symbolizes following a code of behaviors that have been established for generations, and it reminds us that prior generations of people cared for their health in particular ways. While it is important to adhere to traditional expectations of health, The Moon tarot card also encourages us to recognize that there may be unseen problems that can arise, and to trust in our intuition and in our inner knowledge when it comes to our own health.
It is perfectly acceptable to consult with a doctor or another healthcare professional for advice on how best to maintain our health, and taking vitamins, eating right, and exercising are all traditional ways to stay in good health. But there may be other disguised issues, such as stress or depression, that can contribute to ill health. The combination of The Hierophant and The Moon tarot cards suggest that we need to trust our intuition to help us identify potential health issues and make wise decisions about our health.
People often have a desire to conform to what is considered traditional and conventional, but The Hierophant and The Moon cards also remind us that being open to change and being willing to trust our intuition can be beneficial. It is important to listen to our own inner wisdom and to be conscious of the changes we can make to promote a healthier lifestyle. We know what works best for our bodies, and the union of The Hierophant and The Moon cards encourages us to trust our own instincts and make conscious, voluntary changes to keep ourselves healthy.
The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.
Common 2-card spreads
Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread
The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:
- The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
- The 2 card “Yes or No”
“The Fool’s Journey”
Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over
Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)
Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.
The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation
The 2 card “Yes or No”
Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.
Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.
The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.
Yes or No meaning
Both The Hierophant and The Moon mean “No”. If you are asking a direct question, then be under no illusions, the answer is a negative one. If you draw The Hierophant and The Moon the answer to your question is “NO”.
The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.
What does The Hierophant mean?
Health
The Hierophant Tarot card speaks of tradition, conformity, and established standards. When it comes to health, this could mean looking to the tried and true practices that have been used for generations. It could be taking advice from elders in a community, or seeking advice from health professionals. It might mean relying on tried and true lifestyle habits such as exercise, eating right and getting enough rest. It could mean relying on the accumulated wisdom of experience, rather than anything new or daring.
Finances
When it comes to finances, the Hierophant Tarot card suggests that established norms should be followed. This might mean saving and living within your means, and avoiding risky investments. It could also suggest being mindful of changing market conditions and staying abreast of news and trends. The traditional approach to finance is likely to be the most reliable way to build and maintain financial security.
Relationships
The Hierophant Tarot card speaks of traditional values and expectations in relationships. This could mean following the norms of society, such as respecting boundaries, honoring commitments and looking out for each other. It suggests that couples should rely on the traditional models of relationships that have been successful for generations. It might also mean being respectful of each other’s beliefs, values and traditions.
What does The Moon mean?
The Moon Tarot card is associated with unseen health problems, and a reminder to listen to your intuition. It can suggest that there may be a need to be more aware of one’s physical health, and that trusting your gut and seeking out medical advice if needed is key. It can suggest the need for changes in diet and lifestyle, as well as emotional and physical wellbeing. Taking time to listen to our bodies and take action accordingly, can be very beneficial.
When it comes to finances, The Moon Tarot card can be a warning sign that there may be hidden problems in investments, as well as potential surprises related to income and expenses. Going with intuition and doing some research can be beneficial for resolving any financial issues you are facing.
The Moon Tarot card can influence relationships in the sense of the need to trust your intuition and the need to be more open to changes that could bring better results in your relationship. It can also encourage people to take a step back and look at their relationships objectively, in order to be able to genuinely understand and accept their partner, as well as themselves. Trusting your instincts and being open to voluntary changes can lead to a stronger, more meaningful relationship.
Conclusion
Understanding how the meaning of a reading changes once you start involving more than one card can be tricky. This will come with time and practice, however I hope this guide on what your cards might be telling you when you draw The Hierophant and The Moon has helped you.
