Interpretation and Divination
The Essence of the High Priestess
The High Priestess is the keeper of all knowledge that is hidden. It is esoteric knowledge. She is your intuition and guide. She is the consort of the Hierophant and the magical feminine of the Magician. She relates to the Hermit through his activity and talks directly with the Queen of Cups. Her planet is the moon, but I’ve always related Neptune to her. Neptune is the blue gas planet that a soul goes to receive psychic information and knowledge. This Priestess is connected to Neptune. If you look closely, you’ll see her trident. **Please note that this is my own person interpretation. There are many schools of thought out there all originating from a Rosicrucian order, i.e., the Golden Dawn, The Builders of the Adytum. This idea of her related to Neptune is from my own imagination. It is not related nor practiced in any magic school that I know of.
She comes after the Magician, who has all the tool to succeed. The High Priestess has the answers, if you only listen for them. She has ancient scrolls and when the Fool asks for them, she quietly and without words gives him the information. She never hands them over to the Fool. She gives them when he is ready. The information that she has is beyond words. The High Priestess urges you to follow your intuition.
High Priestess in Love Readings
Understanding the High Priestess in Romance
The High Priestess in love can represent an unattainable woman, after all, she’s a representation of Diana, the Virgin. She could possibly be a woman who you will have an affair with. It is possible that you may never know this woman completely because she is bound to herself and to knowledge. Her twin flame inside of her burns eternally and you can never truly possess her. If she represents a person, she is usually a woman.
The High Priestess is a woman that can stand on her own two feet. She is bound by no man. She has her choice of men and will only be involved with one when she feels like it. She doesn’t feel obligated to get involved with a man if she doesn’t want to. She is a woman who may not feel the pressure, need, or desire for a man.
High Priestess as Feelings
Emotional Insights of the High Priestess
The High Priestess is all about feelings, for she governs all subconscious thoughts. Her feelings aren’t moody or unresolved. She knows exactly how she feelings and probably how you feel too. She may not reveal this to you. If you are asking, “How does my love interest feel for me?” Then the High Priestess will answer you rhetorically, “You already know. Just ask your dreams.” There is a feeling of psychic connection, a feeling that you and the person probably spent a lifetime together. There is a feeling of aloneness and a feeling that you would rather be alone, but not lonely. She is never lonely.

Dynamics
The High Priestess Crossing Card
In the traditional Celtic Cross Tarot Spread, often the card you place over the Situation Card will reveal whether the crux of the situation is an obstacle (hindering) or helping (strengtheing). This placement is the second card drawn in a traditional Celtic Cross Tarot Spread.
High Priestess as an Obstacle
The High Priestess as an obstacle is telling you that your intuition is blocked. Patience is needed at this time. You probably have all the time in the world, but you are insisting on forcing a situation. The High Priestess comes before the temporal world. She doesn’t know what “time” is nor is she depended on it. She knows all will come to those who wait because life and the universe is just a waiting game. We are free from the restrictions of time when we tap into the High Priestess power. Take the time to meditate, while losing time. The answers will only come when you submit to the ethereal world void of earthly time.
On a mundane level, the High Priestess as an obstacle can literally be telling you that a man is blocking you. In our current society, females are not allowed to be a priest. Men must fear women tremendously. Why else have women lived so long being denied power? Did you know that when a woman menstruates, she produces the same hormones a man produces? When a woman stops her flow, her hormones go back to the “normal” level. Yet men use the crazy idea that “women can’t rule because of all those hormones.” Do they mean the hormones that women ONLY produce once a month that mimic a man’s normal hormonal output?
Men have been blocking the priestess for over 1,000 years and the High Priestess might be suggesting that a man is blocking your ascent to power.
