Tarot Card Meanings – The High Priestess
The High Priestess is another of my favorite Tarot cards. She serves to remind us to listen to our inner voices, that our innermost feelings are of importance in determining what is going on in our world.
When the High Priestess appears in a Tarot reading, it is a signal that some aspect of the situation is not all as it appears on the surface and you need to discover the hidden knowledge that lies underneath.
If you are not usually the type to take notice of your feelings and instincts, then perhaps now is the time to learn to do so. Maybe you are just beginning to feel that there is more to your world than the everyday routines?
Remember, that the Major Arcana of the Tarot reflect the Fool’s journey through life. The High Priestess is the beginning of his recognition that the universe has many aspects and not all of them can be seen with the naked eye.
It may be that something in your past life is affecting the current situation and you are unaware of its influence. You need to reflect deeply to discover the underlying issues before you can move on.
The High Priestess appeared in the reading that led me to start this site and certainly there was no reason on the surface why I would do so. But it has been a rewarding and learning experience for me and ultimately allowed me to move even further forward in my understanding of the Tarot cards.
If the High Priestess appears reversed in your reading, this is a warning that you are not listening to your inner voice. You are placing too much emphasis on the outer world’s assessments of your situation and relying on logical, rational thoughts.
Your unconcious mind is trying hard to tell you something, but you are not listening. It’s all well and good to attend to any duties and obligations you may have in this world, but you must ensure you leave time in your life for your own needs.
