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 Virgo in Self and Identity
The Analyst
Jupiter sits outside Virgo's usual Mercury 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 a Virgo lens, the Hierophant card says that you feel like you are a collection of things that could be better, something you monitor constantly (or avoid looking at entirely), and a project that will never be finished. This has either led to genuine self-knowledge and the ability to catch yourself, or to a running list of failures you've memorized. You have been so focused on who you think you should be that you haven't checked in with who you actually are. The Virgo blind spot in it is the feeling of being useless, or of having wasted time on something that didn't hold up.
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.
