October 1571
the world’s card for the month
The collective card for October 1571 is The High Priestess. It’s the same for everyone alive this month, set by the date alone, and it sits in the initiation third of the wheel.
The High Priestess card in Tarot represents intuition, inner knowing, and the things you understand before you can explain them. She sits between two pillars, one dark and one light, with a veil hanging behind her. A crescent moon rests at her feet, and a scroll is half-hidden in her robe. This card is about trusting what you know, even when you can't say how you know it.
