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.
