The High Priestess

The High Priestess tarot card meaning and psychological guide - Gigis Tarot

The Guardian of the Secret

General Meaning

Upright

The "Sacred Pause." She represents the unmanifested potential and the wisdom of the subconscious. It is a time for silence, intuition, and waiting for the "inner voice" to speak.

Reversed

Disconnection from the "gut." You are looking for external answers to internal questions. It can signify "surface-level" living or a secret that is causing harm because it is being suppressed.

Love

Upright

A deeply spiritual, perhaps "hidden" connection. Platonic love evolving into something deeper. Trusting your intuition about a partner's true feelings.

Reversed

Ignoring your instincts about a partner; a lack of emotional intimacy; a "shallow" relationship that lacks a soul-bond.

Career & Finance

Upright

Keeping your plans "close to your chest." Researching and "waiting" for the market to move. Wisdom in finance that others don't yet see.

Reversed

Missing an opportunity because you didn't trust your "hunch." Hidden agendas at work; being kept out of the loop on financial decisions.

Health

Upright

Hormonal balance; the lunar cycle; trusting "intuitive eating" or somatic healing.

Reversed

Hormonal imbalances; reproductive issues; "unseen" illnesses that require deep investigation.
