The High Priestess

The High Priestess tarot card
1No roof over her head: there is nothing capping this, and that is the real point of the card.
2Her back is to the world: she shuts out the noise so she can hear herself think.
3The three stages on her crown: she sees the beginning, middle and end of a thing before she starts it.
4She is sitting still: this is a card of visualizing something, not chasing it.
The Unlimited Potential CardThe ceiling you keep stopping at is one you assumed was there.
  • Unlimited potential
  • The ceiling you assumed was there
  • Going a little bit further
In a reading

Get to the point where you think you can’t go any further, then go a little bit more. That is her.

Deeper meaning

Sure, intuition. That isn’t really what she is about

Everybody reads this card as intuition and mysteries and all that, and fine, it is in there. But she has no roof over her head, and that has a specific meaning. Potential, with nothing on top of it. She wants us to go to the point where we think we can’t go any further, and then go a little bit more. The other half of her is that her back is turned to the world. She is shutting out the noise so she can go deep on something and learn how it actually works, which makes her a great card to get if you are studying or learning anything right now.

In the good stuff

You’re expanding rather than hitting a limit. Push past where you’d normally stop.
