Okay, so, I got really into this whole tarot card thing a while back. Specifically, I wanted to figure out the timing aspect of the High Priestess card. You know, when you pull a card and you’re like, “Okay, when is this gonna happen?” That’s what I was trying to crack with this one.
I started by just diving into a bunch of stuff online. Everywhere I looked, people were talking about the High Priestess being all mysterious and representing intuition and hidden knowledge. They kept saying stuff like “divine feminine” and “duality” – which, honestly, sounds pretty cool, but it didn’t really help me with the timing thing.
So, I decided to do my own little experiment. I grabbed my tarot deck, shuffled it real good, and focused on a specific question about a project I was working on. I pulled the High Priestess. Alright, game on.
Instead of just reading more stuff, I decided to kind of… meditate on it, I guess? I held the card, looked at the image, and just thought about what it could mean in terms of timing. Some sources online were associating it with the Moon, so I figured maybe it had something to do with lunar cycles. There were a few online mentions of it representing Artemis and Isis, which I thought was interesting and might have been a clue.
Here’s where it got interesting. I started keeping a journal. Every time I felt that “High Priestess energy” – you know, that intuitive, introspective vibe – I wrote it down. I also noted the moon phases and any significant dreams or gut feelings I had.
My Notes
- Week 1: Pulled the High Priestess. Felt a strong urge to research and plan. New Moon phase.
- Week 2: Lots of ideas flowing. Feeling connected to my intuition. Waxing Crescent.
- Week 3: Some doubts creeping in. Need to trust the process. First Quarter Moon.
- Week 4: Things are starting to take shape. Feeling more confident. Full Moon.
After a few weeks of this, I started to see a pattern. It seemed like the High Priestess wasn’t about a specific date on the calendar, but more about a cycle of inner development. It was about going within, trusting your intuition, and letting things unfold naturally, kind of like the phases of the moon.
Now, I’m not saying I’ve got it all figured out. Tarot is complex, and everyone interprets it differently. But for me, connecting the High Priestess to the lunar cycle and my own inner process really helped me understand its timeframe. It’s not about “when will this happen?” but more like “what stage of the inner journey am I on?” And that, my friends, is way more interesting, to be honest.
It wasn’t easy, and I definitely had moments where I was like, “What am I even doing?” But hey, it was a fun experiment, and I learned a lot about myself in the process. I kept practicing pulling cards for a while after that, but lately, I’ve been so busy with other things that I haven’t had time. Maybe I’ll pick it up again soon. I do still keep my tarot deck on my desk as a reminder of what I learned, though.
