Simple Tarot: The High Priestess

The High Priestess represents your intuition, inner wisdom, and the mysteries of the subconscious mind. She calls you to look beyond the surface, trust your gut feelings, and honor the knowledge that comes in silence and dreams. This card is about accessing hidden truth and understanding that not everything needs to be immediately spoken or explained.

Simple Questions for Personal Meaning

When The High Priestess appears, ask yourself:

• What is my intuition quietly trying to tell me?

• What answers might I find if I spend time in stillness or meditation?

• What dream, symbol, or recurring thought am I not paying enough attention to?

• Where in my life do I need to trust a feeling instead of seeking a logical fact?

• What knowledge or potential feels like it's waiting beneath the surface?
