The High Priestess Month

Water

This month your card is the High Priestess, and the right pace is slower than usual. Something is forming below the surface that isn't ready to be named yet. Don't rush it. Trust the signal you're getting even before you can explain it. The thing to watch: this month can make it very comfortable to stay inside the not-knowing past the point where it's useful. There's a difference between waiting for clarity and avoiding what you've already sensed. If you already know, you already know.

The card behind the month

Your month card is The High Priestess, one of the twenty-two Majors. Here’s what it means at full length.

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.
