Deck: Salvador Dali
card art © US Games
Traditionally known as the Hierophant, this card refers to a Master and the learning of practical lessons from the study of Natural Law. This energy of this card points to some agent or resource that can reveal the secrets of life, the cycles of the moon and tides, the links between human beings and the heavens.
Because monasteries were the only places a person could learn to read and write in the middle ages, a Hierophant was one to whom a student would petition for entry. He was the one to set the curriculum for the neophyte's course of study.
Often pictured with the right hand raised in blessing, the Hierophant is linked with the ancient lineage of Melchezidek, initiator of the Hebrew priestly tradition, the one who passes on the teachings. All shamans of any tradition draw upon this archetype.

The Sun enters regal Leo this week. Your Leo friends will definitely be hosting glamorous shindigs to celebrate, and you'll feel the pull of this bombastic sign, too! Let's take a peek at what's in store with the kingly "lion" of the zodiac! [more]
Leo's Influence on You:
Fun-loving, live-in-the-now Leo influences all of us to be a lot more social. This is the sign that rules celebration and festivities, so you'll make it a point to party it up as summer draws to a close. And what a way to end the season! With equal parts style and a need to be in the spotlight, Leo ensures that your summer goes out with a bang!
Leo Friends:
As a Fire sign, Leos can be on the extreme side. Being friends with a Leo might mean having to slog your way through your fair share of drama, and this prideful Lion can, on occasion, be a bit self-absorbed, so the crisis control might not work both ways! But once you work through your Leo buddy's issues, you'll also find one of the most fiercely loyal pals in the zodiac. Just make sure not to forget their birthday or miss a Leo party -- these guys are easily slighted!
Leo Lovers:
If you've snagged a Leo, prepare for a passionate romp. Fiery and romantic, Leos value intense exchanges. And how can you resist? This magnetic sign has a strong power of attraction, and rather than pursuing you, Leo might sit back and let his or her power of attraction reel you in. If you're interested, it's best not to fight it -- just hang on for a wild, exciting ride! It's not all physical, however. Leos are closely associated with the royal archetype, and they prize chivalry and a courtly approach to love.
