2. The High Priestess - Let It Be

This week we are looking at The High Priestess, the beautiful lady representing The Unconscious. She sits before a curtain concealing a river, the stream of consciousness. Some artists have depicted her as Pandora, the queen of the underworld. She also resembles the Virgin Mary. I have a deck that compares her to the Mona Lisa because her smile seems to know everything but reveals nothing.

To understand her better, let's begin by reviewing the cards we've covered so far.

We began our tarot study with The Fool, the card associated with the planet Uranus that represents free will and spontaneous action. Timing wise The Fool indicates disruption, sudden unexpected surprises, untimed events, 

The Magician means just the opposite. He is the Mercury card depicting a man raising one hand to heaven and the other pointing to earth. Nothing impulsive here, he speaks with clear intention and consciousness guides his will. As a timing indicator The Magician represents being focused in the moment, The Now.

The High Priestess next is the opposite of The Magician card. He is Consciousness. She is the Unconscious.

She does not communicate directly. The High Priestess' planet is The Moon and like the moon, she is silent, her meaning is unfathomable.

If The Magician means Now, The High Priestess means the opposite: Not Now, and thus wait, be patient.

I often feel uncomfortable when The High Priestess comes up in a reading because her appearance indicates there are factors not yet apparent that will have an important bearing on the outcome of a situation. Her presence suggests we should pause, let things develop further. The High Priestess means it's not yet time to take action.

This week as we watch for evidence of The High Priestess in our lives, be aware of times when you can simply Let It Be. Whether you are using her wisdom to keep you calm while awaiting important decisions or just letting her peace keep you patient while standing in a line, when you connect with The High Priestess know that you are safe and everything will work out fine.

I apologize for being a bit behind schedule posting this week's blog. Every time I asked my inner High Priestess if she'd tell me what to write she put me off with her stock answer, "Soon..but Not Now."

Best wishes,
