The High Priestess

II

 

 The High Priestess represents the mystery in a person's life. This is the realm of the subconscious mind, which is the part of your mind that knows every answer to every question, even if you are consciously unaware. She is a superior divine force with feminine energy that you can call 'right intuition' or 'God' and because this, she is also considered a great teacher of life.

  This card is often suggesting to take some rest to contemplate. She will guide you in following your instinct and intuition. Just like The Moon, The High Priestess advises you not to make sudden moves in the outside world, but to remain passive for a while, or at least until you feel ready to proceed towards a particular situation. She will give you the power to believe in your own intuition, but it's important first that you are able to contemplate quietly for a certain time, keeping faith in the unknown. 

  Especially in turbulent situations, often, things appear to be what they are not. The High Priestess is very wise and knows everything at the level of the subconscious mind. The only thing that can make you win in a difficult situation is the trust in her power to help you. Do the simple things she advises you to do. She serves the spiritual needs of the community.

  Even though one can never be too sure of the future when seeing her in a reading, many Tarot readers love this card, because she is the answer to all your questions, and she knows how to inspire you to believe in yourself, if you only allow it. The High Priestess is the psychic ability ready to develop in an individual, and at times depending on the situation, it can suggest strong suspicions as well. 

  When the High Priestess shows up in a reading, think of a personal coach or spiritual adviser asking you to rest and meditate, at least until you feel clear within and ready to make a move. She asks you not only to pay attention to your intuition, but also to pay attention to signs and dreams. The truth will always come out, but you need to create the space for this to happen within your soul, by remaining quiet while observing. If you can make this effort, she will help you through her power in discovering all the answers hiding within. She will help you find clarity by resolving mysteries with transparency.
