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 Leo in The Future
The Creator
Jupiter sits outside Leo's usual Sun 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 what comes next through a Leo lens, the Hierophant card says that you feel like the future is something you can script into a highlight reel, something where your name is known (or your work is recognized), and something that should feel like it was always heading toward you. This has either created real ambition that pulls you forward, or left you unable to enjoy the present because it does not yet look like success. You already know what comes next, and you are afraid of what it will cost you to get there. The Leo blind spot in it is being ordinary, being forgotten, being the one no one thought to invite, being seen doing something mediocre.
In practice that can look like a door closing and it mattering, or the next chapter starting without permission. Whatever form it takes, it is happening in the visible world where other people can see it.
