Upright Meaning:
When The High Priestess appears in a love reading, it will often suggest that your needs are important right now. This is the case both when you are single and in a relationship.
If you are single, the Tarot is telling you that it is time now to concentrate on you and your personal growth, with love taking a backseat. It does suggest that you may be single for a while, but don’t worry! This is because you need to develop your spiritual and emotional side so when love comes, it is perfect. Take a step back from seeking love and take some time to develop your own personal power. Spirituality and wisdom are what your soul needs right now.
If you are in a relationship, The High Priestess highlights the importance of spending time without your partner in order for your relationship to grow. It is okay to not tell your partner everything and to not be constantly in communication with them. In order to curate a healthy and passionate relationship, spending time alone is really important. It also means that you can spend time on your spiritual and emotional growth!
Reversed Meaning:
When it comes to love, the reversed High Priestess is telling you that you got to start listening to what your gut is telling you! If you are single, do not ignore your intuitions when you are out and about on the dating scene.
Your friends, family, and society might be telling you that you must be dating a specific type of person. But, perhaps your intuition is telling you something different! Listen to what your heart is saying, and follow it. Similarly, if you are dating someone and something feels off, listen to your gut. You might not be able to explain your intuition and why you feel this way, but it is important to listen to it. Our instincts are there to protect us.
If you are in a relationship, make sure that you are getting your say and not just going along with what your partner wants. You might need to take some time out for yourself in order for your relationship to grow.
