The High Priestess, tarot card in the Waite-Smith tradition

The High Priestess

Major Arcana · 2

Upright

  • Intuition
  • Mystery
  • Wisdom
  • Silence
General
What matters is not yet visible. The High Priestess invites you to listen to your intuition and let things reveal themselves.
Love & relationships
A silent attraction, unspoken feelings. The relationship calls for patience and listening.
Career & money
Observe before acting. Hidden information will surface; money-wise, discretion is a strength.
Advice
Trust your gut. Don't force anything; keep your plans to yourself a little longer.

Reversed

  • Secrets
  • Ignored intuition
  • Superficiality
  • Isolation
General
The inner voice is ignored, or one withdraws too far. Unspoken things weigh down and blur the view.
Love & relationships
Concealment, a cold distance, or a hunch about the other person that one refuses to hear.
Career & money
Missing or hidden information. Appearances are trusted more than one's own judgment.
Advice
Step out of the fog: ask the uncomfortable questions and listen to the inner answer.
