A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.

However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.

As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the The High Priestess card and 5 Of Cups card together in particular.

The The High Priestess card and 5 Of Cups have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.

What does The High Priestess and 5 Of Cups mean together?

The High Priestess and The 5 of Cups together suggest that you may be feeling lost, abandoned or unloved. You may be grieving a loss or feeling regretful about something. This is a time to trust your intuition and listen to your inner guidance. The secrets you seek may be hidden beneath the surface. Take some time for introspection and self-care. Nurture yourself with compassion and understanding.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.

Common 2-card spreads

Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread

The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:

  • The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
  • The 2 card “Yes or No”

“The Fool’s Journey”

Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over

Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)

Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.

The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation

The 2 card “Yes or No”

Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.

Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.

The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.

Yes or No meaning

Both The High Priestess and 5 Of Cups mean “No”. If you are asking a direct question, then be under no illusions, the answer is a negative one. If you draw The High Priestess and 5 Of Cups the answer to your question is “NO”.

The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.

What does The High Priestess mean?

Health: The High Priestess is a reminder to trust your intuition and to be patient when waiting for answers. It can be a sign that you need to take some time for yourself to reflect and meditate on your health situation. The card can also indicate that there is some hidden knowledge that you need to uncover in order to make progress with your health.

Finances: The High Priestess can be a sign that you need to trust your intuition when it comes to your finances. This is a time to be patient and to wait for the right opportunity to come along. It may also be a good time to reflect on your financial situation and to look for any hidden knowledge that can help you make better decisions.

Relationships: The High Priestess can be a sign that you need to trust your intuition when it comes to your relationships. This is a time to be patient and to allow things to develop naturally. It may also be a good time to reflect on your relationships and to look for any hidden knowledge that can help you improve them.

What does 5 Of Cups mean?

In terms of health, The 5 of Cups can indicate a time of grief or loss. This may be due to the death of a loved one, or it could be the loss of a job or a relationship. This setback can lead to feelings of regret, abandonment, and loneliness. These negative emotions can adversely affect one’s physical health, leading to more serious problems down the road.

In terms of finances, The 5 of Cups can signify a time of hardship. This may be due to unexpected expenses, loss of income, or poor investment decisions. These difficulties can leave one feeling frustrated and discouraged. It is important to maintain a positive outlook during this challenging time, as things will eventually improve.

In terms of relationships, The 5 of Cups can represent a time of heartache. This may be the result of a breakup, betrayal, or misunderstanding. These hurt feelings can lead to loneliness and isolation. It is important to reach out to friends and family during this difficult time for support and comfort.

Conclusion

Understanding how the meaning of a reading changes once you start involving more than one card can be tricky. This will come with time and practice, however I hope this guide on what your cards might be telling you when you draw The High Priestess and 5 Of Cups has helped you.
