Major Arcana II

The High Priestess

The High Priestess represents quiet attention, discernment, and knowledge that has not yet become a public conclusion. As a reflection prompt, she asks what becomes clearer when you stop forcing an immediate answer.

A strength to notice

Listening closely before choosing a direction.
