5 - V The Hierophant

The Principle of Learning and Teaching

Hierophant persons strongly value family and wherever they go they create a personal and professional support system or extended family. They are loyal, practical, and community-minded people. Learning and teaching situations are important to them. They are well-suited in being in an active or receptive mode in arenas of teaching, counseling, consulting and management situations. Hierophant people want to see how ideas can be implemented and applied. They are drawn to the creative arts as a tangible way of expressing creative ideas in a variety of forms.
For this reason, Taurus people be3come important mirrors for Hierophant people because Taurus is the sign known for producing and bringing beauty and creativity into tangible forms. Often Hierophant people experience music as a way of renewing and regenerating themselves. The elephant heads on this symbol are associated with deep capacities to listen and remember through aspects of sound. Spiritual work is important to Hierophant people and at different times in their life they will find themselves assisting others with inner work and exploration or will find themselves exploring their own internal realms. Hierophant literally means "spiritual teachings" or "bringer of the light" so Hierophant people often have a deep philosophical nature and strong sense of faith in themselves and others.
