Romance, Love Or Relationships:

This can be a magical, mystical time for love for anyone interested in love. If you are a woman, you may well find people literally throwing themselves at you. The problem is that you will attract both the good and the bad and it’s not always easy to tell which is which! You have the power of femininity at your disposal at this moment in time and at first glance that may seem great, but there is a caveat. Don’t abuse that power or it may backfire on you. Use it wisely – it’s potent! If you date women, you could well be interested in a woman who is distant and unapproachable and it may be that that is the way she will stay. Trust your instincts to let you know when you are chasing the unattainable.

Complete Book of Tarot: The reversed High Priestess in the past position made sense. I was feeling stuck trying to envision what to write and how to say it. Access to my intuition felt temporarily blocked.

Reversed Cards: Here in the protection aspect, the High Priestess is protecting you from pieces of yourself, pieces of your soul that you are just not ready to deal with and own. But what gives her the right to do so? Good question. In healing work there is a method known to many shamans as soul retrieval. This is where you retrieve pieces of your shattered self from other pockets of time and space and bring them back to the present moment to heal your current self. Sometimes we are not ready to own those pieces or deal with the pain and trauma that created them to be fragmented in the first place. The High Priestess is not so much protecting you from the piece, just its story—the knowledge of the pain and soul lesson behind the trauma. When you see her in this aspect, she is lovingly saying, ‘You are not ready.’ Here in the protection aspect, the High Priestess holds that line between empowered healing and self-harm. She is your first line of defense against yourself. For that, we honor her when she shows herself in the protection aspect.
