INTUITION

The High Priestess is here to remind us to follow our intuition, our inner voice. Now is a time to trust yourself and know that your intuition and inner knowing is leading you in the right direction - don’t ignore it.
 
When reversed this card may be indicating that external forces such as someone around you may be trying to convince you to go against your intuition. Trust in yourself rather than those around you who may not have your best interest at heart.

DIVINE FEMININE

The divine feminine is present in us all regardless of gender identity. This card is telling us to embrace that side our ourselves. Feminine energy is generally considered to consist of intuition, compassion, inner wisdom and empathy - something we need to stay connected to. It’s time to harness our feminine energies and use them. 

INNER KNOWING

The High Priestess sits between the physical and spiritual worlds. Seeing her in a reading indicates that you should connect your spirit guides or to your own inner knowledge to help along your spiritual journey. She brings with her wisdom, enlightenment and illumination - you need only seek it.

When reversed this card may indicate that you struggle to trust your inner knowing. Work on letting go of your self doubt and learn to trust yourself, your intuition and your instincts.
 
CREATIVITY

Creativity and inspiration flows for those who find themselves involved with the arts. The High Priestess encourages us to go beyond what our conscious mind sees and allow our subconscious to come forward and offer new ideas. 

Be on the lookout for a mentor or teacher who can help advance your work or studies. Perhaps you are the teacher, come to help someone else along their path.

When reversed it’s important to remember to trust yourself and your creative mind. Let go of fear and judgement from others. Follow your own intuition.
