The High Priestess has an affinity with the Moon, and with Isis, Kuan Yin and Artemis, who represent Intuition, Compassion and Nature respectively. Guardian of what is hidden, she rules the watery world of Intuition, the Unconscious and the Mysteries. When she appears in a reading where the querent has a relationship question, the answer may take some time, patience and understanding to emerge. The High Priestess is an unusual figure in terms of relationship since she is so very self-contained - almost forbidding. She indicates that you have gone beyond the mundane need for romance and flattery that marks the superficial period of attraction and courting. You yearn for something real, deep and life-changing. You sense that there is much more passion and meaning that can be experienced in a true love relationship than you have yet experienced, and you long for a true Soul connection that will fill up all the dark places with light and joy, and flood the wellspring within that has become depleted and almost parched. The High Priestess also tells you that you don't always see the truth that is looking at you through the eyes of a potential lover. We all tend to judge people and prospective partners especially, by their outer wrapping, but My Lady is telling you not to fall into this trap. Take another look, use your intuition and go deeper, beyond what your mundane senses are telling you is the truth. The potential for a deep, lasting and utterly satisfying relationship is real, but it requires you to look with your inner eye to the deep truth within the other. She also tells you to not accept anything on its surface value, because you wish to believe it. Wait and don't make any hasty decisions and the right choice will reveal itself to you. My question for you is: How can you harness your intuition to discover the deeper truth behind the eyes of a potential lover? Image "The High Priestess" © mari-na.deviantart.com
