Embrace YOUR truth. Be resolute in what is right for you. If in deep quest, seek counsel from another, especially an honorable woman. Do not waver. Be still. If needed, remove yourself to a place of seclusion. Trust your gut. It may be prudent to keep your own counsel at this time.

The High Priestess Reversed:
Not trusting your gut or instincts, pushing back against them. Being passive at the wrong time or being passive aggressive, not speaking up as punishment to another. Fear of life, others, wanting things to be clearcut and black and white when they are actually more complex. A simplistic approach to a complex issue. Being apathetic. Difficulty translating your beliefs into concrete action.

Best Course of Action Reversed:
Explore dualities, examine if you are blaming another, or if you are acting in a passive manner out of fear. Talk out your anxieties or questions with another. Be honest with yourself. Might just be a call to stop mulling and start acting! Act of your beliefs if they are solid. Feel free to ask for help, it is alright to need help, you don’t always have to be strong and self sufficient. You may need to let go of an old, stale way of thinking. Especially if it is an outmoded concept about yourself and your identity. You don’t have to have all the answers before proceeding. Look at other more formal traditions to inform your quest.
