The Hierophant reversed in love

Doing it the way you think you are supposed to rather than the way that suits you. Question the script, especially if it feels like someone else wrote it.

Keywords: rebellion, subversiveness, new approaches, questioning

If you’re single

You may meet someone through a group, a class or friends of friends. Shared values matter more than shared chemistry right now.

If you’re in a relationship

Talk about what commitment means to each of you. Rituals, routines and milestones can bring you closer.

After a breakup

Lean on people and routines that steady you. Ask for advice from someone you trust.

How they feel about you

They see you as someone serious and are thinking about how you fit into their life.
