The Hierophant & The Devil: Sacred vs. Profane, Inversion & Awakening

This month feels big. Like… quietly revolutionary.We’re working with the energy of the The Hierophant and The Devil—two archetypes that, on the surface, couldn’t be more opposite. One represents the sacred, the institutional, the “this is the way.” The other holds the body, desire, instinct, the things we’ve been taught to question or even reject.But what I’m seeing for May is something different.These energies are inverting.What we’ve been told is sacred… may not be.What we’ve dismissed as profane… might actually be where the life is.There’s something here about holding opposites—really holding them—without rushing to resolve them. And in that tension, something begins to shift. Something new emerges. A deeper truth, maybe. Or just a more honest one.This shows up collectively—in our relationship to institutions, authority, and what we’ve trusted without question. And it shows up personally—in our bodies, our desires, our choices, and the quiet ways we’ve outsourced our own knowing.One of the strongest threads this month is the body.Not as something to manage or override, but as something sacred. Intelligent. In conversation with you at all times. There’s an invitation here to listen differently—to let your body lead, even when it contradicts what you’ve been taught you “should” want or do.This might also bring up questions around desire.What you actually want… versus what you learned to want.And whether those are even the same thing.There’s a kind of unraveling happening.But it doesn’t feel destructive—it feels like truth.Like something that’s been upside down for a long time finally turning right side up.So for May, the practice is simple (but not easy):Stay with the tension.Get curious about what you believe is sacred—and why.And most importantly, listen to your body.It knows.Zodiac readings begin about two-thirds of the way through for each sign.
