Major Arcana - The High Priestess

by Celestian



The High Priestess comes as number 2 in the Tarot deck of cards. This is the card of intuition. When we get a High Priestess card in a reading it indicates that we have to take heed or to pay extra attention to what our intuition and dreams are telling us. There are secrets that we needed to know and something or someone is holding it back or away from us.


If this card represents a person, then, it could mean that this particular person is very feminine in nature and very secretive. It can also indicate the feminine side of our personality. In romance, it could indicate a secret lover, or that the person you are in love with is quite conservative in nature and that it can be very difficult to attain what you commonly would expect in a romantic relationship. He or she can be very independent and reclusive in his or her own way.


In personal evaluation reading it could mean that you need to take time in rediscovering your spiritual side of life. You have to do some inner work in seeking wisdom which could include meditation, devotion, and listening to the voice of our intuition. We are also encouraged to take some form of spiritual discipline within ourselves.


If you have approached the Tarot on starting new ventures or getting involved in a relationship, or making an important choice in life, then, the High Priestess advises delay, for there is an indication that you may still have to work more on your inner changes and growth.




Reversed:



When you picked a reveresed High Priestess card it could mean that you are being too pre-occupied with your inner self. It is trying to suggest that you have to turn yourself again to the outer world and be one with nature.


It could also indicate that there are hidden things behind masks. There are more things that you should know and understand behind facades and superficial appearances of the situation. Be aware and be ready to take time to unravel the mysteries. There are hidden repressed feelings and emotions that may have been put aside due their hurtful or damaging nature, but which needs to be addressed to allow healing process to begin.

When we look at the Magician card we are always reminded of that guy in the circus or carnivals performing magic tricks. What seems natural for them looks fascinating to us. It looks like that he can just do anything by the the wave of his wand.


Our Tarot Magician is exactly like that for he holds all the powers in his hands. He has all the elements necessary to make impossible things happen. Looking at this card you will see that he's got the power of the wands, the cups, the swords, and the pentacles all in front of him. He just have to pick one or a couple of them in order to make things happen for him.


When we get this card, it indicates that we have certainly the power of all of the elements in our hands at the moment to make things possible for us. We just have to pick things up and make use of it. Magicians are good communicators. They can convince you to believe the unreal to be real. In that sense, this card could also mean that you are a powerful communicator and that you can easily convince anyone to believe whatever you are saying whether it's true or not. You have to use this talent to win whatever situation you are in.


In matters of love and relationship, it could indicate that your significant other is just trying to sell himself to you and that you need to be extra careful in believing all that he's telling you. This card could also mean that communication is the key to the success of this relationship. This card could also mean that you have all the powers and means in your hands to make your relationship come into a reality. You have all the passion and drive to make things work for both of you, which means that the ball is in your hand. You hold the responsibility to make things work for good.


In a situation, this could indicate that someone is trying to play a trick on you, so you have to pay extra careful in dealing with this people, most especially to those ones whom you have already put your trust on.

It could also mean that you'll best fit as a salesperson, a representative, or on any job that requires communication skill.
