• She encourages us to become more discriminating in our choices and conscious of the difference between our self-image and who we really are.
• We should examine our motivations as we confront life experiences and combine analytical thinking and intuition.
• A chance to rethink the choices we make when acting based on emotions.
• The archetype is linked to Persephone, and the mythological moon goddess – deep feminine understanding. The High Priestess is privy to the workings of upper and lower worlds.

Shadow – an inability to trust our intuition; literal mindedness; superficiality; an attitude of fatalism; duplicitous behaviour.

When the High Priestess appears:
• You are either relying on your intuition too much or too little.
• It is now possible for you to balance the masculine and feminine (or known/unknown) facets of your personality.
• You may soon become aware of earlier memories or conflicts that apply to your present situation. Be patient or receptive to their appearance.
• Hidden influences or unidentified motivations are at work in your situation.
• Attend to the basic lessons of spiritual growth.

(Echols, Mueller & Thomson, 1996)
