Six quick picks first, then your reading
The hierophant sits upon a throne in regalia between two pillars, holding both hands up with a scepter in one hand and two faithful servants at their feet
Focus on studying and honoring the traditions you hold dear. Feel a bone deep knowledge of the things you care about-- don't be afraid to find a guru to guide your path (or learn more by guiding others)
You are stuck by your own pride or the rigid structures of your mind. Let your ego be humbled and remember to experiment and iterate even with what you feel you know best

The Hierophant for Aquarius in Self and Identity
The Visionary
Jupiter sits outside Aquarius's usual Uranus register, so this one arrives as unfamiliar weather. Upright, this is happening out in the visible world, where other people can see it and respond to it.
When reading about yourself through an Aquarius lens, the Hierophant card says that you feel like your own mind is the most reliable thing you have, a maze you navigate alone, and a machine that works better when you are not feeling too much. This has either made you brilliantly self-sufficient, or cut you off from the one thing that might actually change you. You have been so focused on who you think you should be that you haven't checked in with who you actually are. The Aquarius blind spot in it is being ordinary, or worse, being needed in a way that pins them down.
In practice that can look like something you cannot un-see about yourself, or a season ending. Whatever form it takes, it is happening in the visible world where other people can see it.
