As opposed to the Magician in the earlier card, The High Priestess is about passivity (The Magician was about action and power). Rather The High Priestess is about inspiration for an action.

The High Priestess Tarot

The High Priestess Tarot Meaning - General

As a Number Two card, The High Priestess in tarot speaks about duality. Every coin has two sides and probably one side of the coin is not visible to you. There could be hidden secrets or information not known to you. This is a card that echoes ‘mystery’.

The High Priestess sits mysteriously as if holding a secret in her scroll. This card could either indicate secrets that you might need to be aware of or could be asking you to open yourself up to the unknown. For some, it might also be about acknowledging your shadow self. Perhaps this is about acknowledging your hidden potential or talents. Look for those dormant skills and desires and allow them to blossom.

If you feel a sense of ambiguity, the best approach is to use your intuition. The High Priestess with the moon at her feet is an indication to look for signs around and use your gut in making decisions. She is guarding the unconscious which is about reaching the hidden depths of your inner voice. This card asks you to go within and seek out your inner realm for guidance.

The High Priestess card is about passivity. This card suggests just holding back and not taking any action now. Like they say, be still and know. It is best to be patient and wait for things to pass than hustle and act (like the Magician).

Like we said earlier, The High Priestess is about duality. She balances the masculine energies of the Magician with her feminine energies. She is very sensual and therefore, this is a card of sensuality and attraction, indicating that you might be attractive to many right now.
