The High Priestess in love can be seen as a woman with very little emotions involves. She appears as an emotionless woman that is guided by her intuition and knowledge. Her intuition is a powerful tool.

In my opinion, The High Priestess represents still waters that runs deep. You never quite know what to expect. Just like The Magician, The High Priestess can be a sign of an intelligent and calculated person with a hidden agenda. The biggest difference is that while The Magician uses all his mental faculties to communicate his intentions, The High Priestess intentionally hides her thought processes. She wants to appear as naive as The Fool.

Here are some questions that might indicate a yes are:

  • Is my partner concealing something from me?
  • Is there something that my person has not been entirely truthful about?
  • Have I been friendzoned?

Questions in love that might indicate a maybe instead of a yes are:

  • Is the person concealing their feelings for me?
  • Is the person looking to reconcile with me?
  • Does the person still think of me?

Some questions that are likely a no are:

  • Will my person try to reach out to me to communicate?
  • Will my person take the first step to bridge our differences?
  • Can I trust this person that I am seeing right now?

As if The High Priestess (upright) was not confusing enough, The High Priestess in the reversed position can be a sharp warning to stop doubting your intuition. What is your intuition telling you about a person or the situation?

If you are currently single, are you being overly cautious because of the fear of getting hurt or is the person really a red-flag? If you are in a long-term relationship, are you doubting your partner because you fear commitment or because you intuitively detect a change in your partner?

The TDLR

The High Priestess points to using your intuition to find your truth. Instead of relying on the tarot cards to find out, dig deeper within yourself to find your answer. The card can also be symbolic of hidden truths that are not meant to be revealed at this moment of time. Yes-indicative questions inquire about concealed truths or potential friend zoning, maybes revolve around hidden feelings or reconciliation, and no-leaning questions involve trust and communication.
