May 1990
the world’s card for the month
The collective card for May 1990 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 is the part of you that knows things without being able to explain how. She is the knowing that arrives before the reasons do, the one you can't show your work for. Where the Magician acts, she waits and listens.

The collective year card for 1990 is The Sun (19). Add the month number (May is month 5): 19 + 5 = 24, which wraps around the twenty-two to 2. Card 2 is The High Priestess.
