How to Interpret the High Priestess Tarot Card

The High Priestess is the card of the divine feminine. It is also a card that indicates the wisdom in feminine intuition. If the querent is a female, this refers to her. If the querent is a male, this probably represents the most important woman in his life. It may also stand for his own intuition. In any case, the High Priestess is a powerful message.

Instructions

- 1
  Consider the High Priestess to be the link between judgement and intuition. The card portrays the temple of Solomon, the wisdom of the Torah and the guidance found in several religious systems. It does not favor any one of them. The High Priestess tells you to weigh all the options and then follow the path of intuition.
- 2
  Pay attention if the High Priestess is reversed. You may be ignoring your own instincts, or those of a female that you usually trust.
- 3
  Be ready to deal with a part of yourself or the world that has been hidden from you. The High Priestess holds many secrets and you are about to face some of them.
- 4
  Take caution if the High Priestess is reversed and surrounded by other reversed cards. This can indicate your own insecurity and even a temptation to yield to emotional blackmail.
- 5
  Take the high road, whatever you do. The High Priestess is the card of honor and ethics.
