When it turns up in one of my readings (I haven't done many for anyone else) I think of using "traditional" means. If the question is health related, going to a medical doctor rather than maybe a naturopath. In the question of romance, I'd say it would mean a traditional relationship, ie. marriage rather than living together.
I think of it as going to a university for "traditional" knowledge, things that come with things that Man has created, that you have to learn from someone else, rather than the secret mysteries that we pick up from the High Priestess.
I think it would depend so much on what is being asked whether I would advise seeking a psychologist or counselor of some sort, but it definately would indicate needing to learn something or not breaking away from standard beliefs and teachings of some sort.
It came up for me around Christmas time, so I decided it meant for me to focus on traditional values instead of getting all bent out of shape by the commercial nature it's becoming. To pass on the family traditions on to my kids and create those kinds of memories for them.
I've also associated this with fathers, not neccessarily the ones in the Catholic Church, since I've never been Catholic, but the things I learned from my father or some one in that kind of authority, perhaps mentor would be a better image.
I'd say that it would really depend on the question and the surrounding cards whether to seek out or expect knowledge from another or to look within yourself. It seems no matter what the cards mean one time, they take one a whole new meaning each time they come up.
