I see the Hierophant as the Outcome pretty much in the same way as does Cat Eyes - pointing towards the "social face" of the relationship. What is acceptable in the situation? How does the environment relate to the issue? What is "normal" behaviour in the situation and what would the persons (partners) really want to do? The Hierophant stresses the outer face, sometimes maybe too strongly.
I remember doing a reading concerning a relationship with the Hierophant in it (can't remember the actual card position), and the querant said that she was "really worried about how her family might react to the news of her breaking up the relationship she was currently in (and which wasn't working out that good)". These ideas she strongly connected with the Hierophant.
It might be of help to view this card in relation with the first two cards - provided that you did a Celtic Cross?
