The High Priestess
The High Priestess signifies dreams, knowledge, and intuition, urging the asker to trust inner wisdom and seek answers within. She serves as a guardian between the conscious and subconscious, guiding reconnection with core nature and psychic or intuitive senses while encouraging compassion, empathy, and stillness. Reversed, the card indicates the need to look inward when external opinions or rational doubts override intuition and when personal needs have been neglected. The guidance is to retreat, reflect, listen quietly to inner knowing, and reconnect with the self.

Upright Guidance
The asker is encouraged to trust themselves and their inner knowing. The High Priestess card symbolizes the guardian between the conscious and subconscious; she can be seen as a guide to bring us back to our core nature and follow our psychic or intuitive senses. It can also serve as a reminder to connect with your divine feminine nature and the energies of compassion, empathy, and stillness.

This is a sign the asker needs to look inward, seek quiet and listen to their intuition. They may be surrounded by many opinions or drama, but it is time to connect with their inner self; the part of them that is all-knowing. The High Priestess reversed indicates the asker has a strong intuition, but may be bypassing the signs because they are listening to their rational side or others' opinions.
Reversed Guidance
The High Priestess also signals the asker has been neglecting their own needs and prioritizing others. This is a moment to retreat, reflect, and reconnect.
