THE HIGH PRIESTESS TAROT CARD MEANING
The Priestess Tarot card symbolizes our hidden and not yet realized potential. It demonstrates the need for the Fool to turn inside towards intuition and presentment. Now that he's learned about his plans and abilities, it is time to listen to what the inner voice has to say.
The High Priestess is the reminder to set aside logic and search for the Truth within. The "bright" side of the Priestess is understanding, patience, kindness, compassion and the ability to use her resources and wisdom for the greater good.
The "shadow" (reversed) side of the High Priestess is jealousy and suspicion.
So, what exactly does the High Priestess Tarot card mean in a reading? In a reading, the card can simply point to a woman in your life that possesses the above qualities. Secondly, it always signifies the presence of some sort of secret or unknown information. But the appearance of the High Priestess card means that it is a chance to uncover the mystery. The card can be an indication of uncertainty. It is the time when you are unsure how to act or what decision to make, perhaps because there is not enough information or knowledge.
Sometimes, the High Priestess points to a time when you lack enough knowledge and it can quite literally mean that you may need to take a course, look for information or obtain certain qualifications.
THE HIGH PRIESTESS CONSCIOUSNESS (PERSONALITY)
The High Priestess has an incredibly developed level of intuition in consciousness. A person described by this card always knows what to say and senses lies or deceit from a mile away. They are also private and only trust a handful of people.
The High Priestess as Card of the Day: Today is a good day to trust your intuition, dreams and oracles. Pay attention to those “strange coincidences” and look for signs of the Universe. It is a day to take a step back and be an observer. Be calm and let things unroll without expectations. It’s not a day to play games or be deceiving; on the contrary, it is best to act in good faith and be honest. Something can come up that’s been in secret for a while. But before you rush to find out, ask yourself if you are ready for this. Look for the root of the question, and go deep into the details.

THE HIGH PRIESTESS TAROT CARD FINANCES
With regards to money, the High Priestess is not the best omen. It can mean that your job, although is dear to your heart, does not bring you financial satisfaction.
The High Priestess has the element of secrecy to it. Do not disclose your financial situation to others without a need. If you are in business or asking about the finances of someone else, it can also mean that they are hiding something from you.

THE HIGH PRIESTESS TAROT YES OR NO
