Message
The Papess or High Priestess represents self-awareness and wisdom. This Card indicates that it is okay and positive to seek advice - especially with yourself. Personal strength resides in the spirit, in self-awareness. Each of us knows better than anyone our own opinions, needs, aspirations and desires. This is the strength of knowing how to listen to the voice of the soul. Life is an accumulation of experiences. Facing the unknown brings new perspectives and generates new self-knowledge. It is a challenging, enriching and perpetual cycle.
The Papess tells you to listen to your instincts and follow your intuition. Not everything is just rationality. You have to trust the energies of the universe - whatever has to happen will happen in its due time. Open channels of communication - speak clearly and objectively but make your voice heard. If shyness prevents you from giving your opinion, start with small steps.
In professional terms, this Card advises you to listen to your intuition and respect your feelings. Be sure to make your decisions, follow your plan even if it means leaving your comfort zone. In a financial plan, it indicates that valuable resources are available that are not being used to their fullest potential.
