The High Priestess Tarot Card Meaning

looking inward ~ inaction or stagnation ~ patience ~ withdrawing or running away ~ working in groups ~

-patience is a virtue-

If she could speak the High Priestess would probably say something like "People are always trying to do so much these days. We are not human 'doings' but human 'beings'!" But she doesn't speak, she only listens. She is a woman of God who sits in silence and contemplation. She seeks understanding and looks for the greater meaning behind everything.

The card reminds us that there are times when it is better not to act, but instead observe and only make a move when we really know what's going on. If we preoccupy ourselves only with activity and fill our lives with things to do, we risk missing out on realizing what our lives are really about.
