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 8 Of Pentacles card together in particular.

The The High Priestess card and 8 Of Pentacles 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 8 Of Pentacles mean together?

The High Priestess tarot card and The 8 Of Pentacles tarot card together mean that it is important to trust your own intuition and to keep your own counsel when it comes to secrets and mysteries. It is also important to master your craft and to enjoy your employment. This combination of tarot cards suggests that you should be confident in your abilities and trust that your hard work will pay off. This is a time to focus on your personal development and to take pride in your achievements. Keep your head down and stay the course, and you will be rewarded for your efforts.

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

Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as The High Priestess and 8 Of Pentacles mean different things. The cards are unsure about your question, or the answer to the question has not yet been decided.

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?

The High Priestess Tarot card is often associated with secrets and mystery. In health, this can suggest that there are some things going on behind the scenes that you may not be aware of. This is a time to trust your intuition and be open to learning more about your health and wellbeing. In terms of finances, The High Priestess can suggest that there are some hidden assets or resources that you can tap into. This is a time to be patient and trust that the universe will provide for you. In relationships, The High Priestess can indicate that there are some hidden dynamics at play. This is a time to trust your intuition and be open to exploring the depths of your relationships.

What does 8 Of Pentacles mean?

The 8 of Pentacles indicates that you are mastering your craft, and enjoying your employment. Your hard work is paying off, and you are reaping the rewards. This is a good time to focus on your health, as you are in a good place physically and mentally. Your finances are also in good shape, and you are able to save and invest wisely. In relationships, the 8 of Pentacles suggests that you are stable and content. You are not looking for anything new or exciting, but rather, you are happy with what you have. You are able to give your partner the stability and security they need.

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 8 Of Pentacles has helped you.
