The High Priestess : Card of the Day

If “The High Priestess” is the card of the daу, then it is better to listen carefullу to intuition, monitor the situation and make decisions for the situation.

Relу on уour inner voice. There is no need to logicallу trу to figure out what to do and how to do it. Do as уour intuition dictates.

The priestess calls for respectful treatment of everу second of a particular daу. Spend some time alone to become aware of уour own needs and desires.

When interacting with people, release kindness and a positive mood.

The High Priestess as someone sees you

  • Someone who is intuitive, wise and mysterious;
  • Person who is hiding his / her feelings at the moment and is not yet ready to do anything about it;
  • A secretive and quiet person.


The High Priestess : Love

The High Priestess
(Upright)
Love
The High Priestess
(Reversed)
Love
Lying, not sincere relationships. 
Jealousy, not trust. 
In such an atmosphere there is not and cannot be a place for love, kind and trusting relationships.

In a magical sense – a love spell or a magical effect aimed at manipulating people’s relationships.
New circumstances will open up for you that will greatly affect your relationship. 

Perhaps this is some kind of secret carefully hidden from you, or a small nuance, which you did not pay attention to all the time spent with a loved one, suddenly becomes explanatory. 

In such a situation, the expression “Eyes opened” or “Sight” is appropriate.

This can be a mystical and magical time for love. Trust your instincts. As a man you can access a woman who is distant and unapproachable.

As a woman, it is possible that you have an extra charm in these moments and that even people you did not imagine seek to approach you, when not falling asleep before the strong charm that you have at this moment. Use that magnetic power wisely.

Relationships in any case will be full of tenderness, something maternal will surround the situation. They will be honest and very romantic, although they may not be entirely expressive, which does not detract from the veracity of the feelings.


The High Priestess : Career

The High Priestess
(Upright)

The High Priestess
(Reversed)
Career
Ambiguity, uncertainty. 

In the affairs of work or career, there was some kind of unpleasant hitch, delay, confusion.
Providing new information, new course of affairs, an end to ambiguity and choice. 

The things that hindered and obscured your business will finally recede and you will have the opportunity to work at full strength again.

A pleasant surprise may come your way soon when it comes to work. It could be career advancements, promotions, and even a new job opportunity.

You can find some new systems or processes that make your work life simpler and less stressful. Ignore workplace gossip and certainly don’t participate in it.

The Priestess does not say everything she knows, therefore, you can know everything that happens around you and keep it a secret, that quiet knowledge is a form of subtle power.


The High Priestess : Money

It is generally a letter of success and achievements, but you have to analyze everything well so that the objectives are specified in the desired way. Someone may not be completely honest with you when it comes to finances.

You may not have all the information you need. Don’t be afraid to dig deep, and do your own research. Make sure, when it comes to financial transactions, that you disclose only the information that is needed and no more.

The investments you are making at this time will be correct and fruitful if you have taken the above into account.

A health tipping point.

One of the most significant things is the possibility of pregnancy. You may receive information about your health that has not yet been released. If you feel like something is wrong with your body, believe your worries and take care of yourself.

You may need to see a health professional. Remember that the Priestess symbolizes things that are hidden, so do check-ups to make sure everything is fine.

If a suggested procedure or test doesn’t “feel right,” don’t go through with it. Help yourself by controlling your diet, exercise and that you do not lack vitamins and minerals.

It is possible that someone near you is emotionally unstable and prone to manifestations of tantrums. You may be so preoccupied with external responsibilities that you have no time for yourself at all.
