Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And I kept getting the High Priestess reversed in “yes or no” readings. It was driving me nuts! So, I decided to really dig in and figure out what was up.
My Deep Dive into the Reversed High Priestess
First, I pulled out my favorite tarot deck – the one my grandma gave me. It’s old and a little worn, but it feels right in my hands. I shuffled the cards, really focusing on getting a clear “yes” or “no” answer to my question, which, I won’t lie, was about a guy. Sigh.
I cut the deck, laid out a simple one-card spread, and boom – High Priestess reversed, again. Seriously?

So, I hit the books (and the internet, let’s be real). I read through all my tarot guides, scrolled through countless websites, even watched a few YouTube videos. The general consensus? The High Priestess reversed in a “yes or no” context usually leans towards “no”.
- It’s about secrets, things being hidden, maybe even some self-deception going on.
- It can also mean ignoring your intuition, which, honestly, I’ve been known to do.
- It might be a blocking, or a not-good idea, a lack of personal harmony.
But here’s the thing: I wasn’t feeling a straight-up “no” vibe. It felt more like…a “not yet” or a “you’re not seeing the whole picture.”
So, I decided to try something different. I cleansed my deck with some sage (because why not?), meditated for a few minutes to clear my head, and then I asked my question again, but this time I phrased it differently. Instead of “Will this happen?” I asked, “What do I need to know about this situation?”
And guess what? I drew a completely different card! It was the Three of Cups – a card of celebration, friendship, and collaboration. Totally different energy.
That’s when it hit me. The High Priestess reversed wasn’t necessarily a “no.” It was a warning. It was telling me to trust my gut, to look deeper, and to maybe not put all my eggs in one basket. The Three of Cups then showed me that focusing on my friends and support system was the way to go, at least for now.
So, yeah, my little tarot experiment taught me a valuable lesson. The High Priestess reversed in a “yes or no” reading? It’s probably a “no,” or at the very least, a “wait and see.” But more importantly, it’s a reminder to listen to your inner voice and to look beyond the surface.
And about the questions about that guy? Well, I will keep focusing on what make me grow and keep my inner voice clear.
