I pulled this combination in a reading a few days ago and I thought it was really interesting. I love that they seem so different yet really compliment each other. In the reading it looked as though the quarrent was about to meet someone very special, but it required a time of solitude in order to prepare for meeting this person, so as not to "get lost" in them, or possibly send them running out of overbearingness.
There are other combinations like this, that seem to make no sense at first glace but really compliment each other... i can think of the magician and a very extroverted court card? Queen of Cups maybe?
For myself I often read the empress and the emperor together and this can be confusing, although it made sense quick because my star sign card is temperance, and I struggle to balance my masculine and feminine qualities at times.
The fool and the hierophant, opposites indeed, maybe the quarrent is about to receive/ has received a mentor? About to begin a new educational pursuit? if reversed just simply a lack of knowledge at this point, information is yet to be received...
These riddles are my favourite part of reading the Tarot!
