The High Priestess is intuitive, seeing into dark and hidden places.
With their sharp eyes, they see beyond the veil, accessing realms and information not seen through normal means. So, the High Priestess can be a call to develop or use your sixth sense. You might be a witch or sage, or feel called towards a transcendental path.
If helpful, you can turn to religious or sacred texts to learn more about the otherworld or planes you’re accessing. The High Priestess represents a readiness to study the great mysteries.
The mysteries also live inside you. To open up psychic awareness, you must pause, reflect, and go inward to access your feelings and build deeper spiritual awareness. Communing with your own spirit is the beginning of communing with Spirit, or the Divine.
On a more mundane read, the High Priestess is a call to sit still and hold on tight. It would advise inaction. You’ll find out more if you meditate on the matter at hand and wait.
Regarding a situation, prepare for things to be slow or not moving at all. The High Priestess is watchful and literally in the wings, waiting for the right time to act.
When the High Priestess appears reversed, you might fail to trust your judgment, get stuck in indecision, or deny the truth.
The High Priestess is mystical but can also simply remind you that you have strong intuition. So use it. You have a powerful gut and glowing eyes to see through the deep and moonlit space you’re in.
