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 9 Of Swords card together in particular.

The The High Priestess card and 9 Of Swords 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 9 Of Swords mean together?

The High Priestess and The 9 of Swords together suggest that you may be going through a difficult time in your life where you feel like you’re constantly under attack. You may be plagued by nightmares and anxiety, and feel like you’re in a constant state of grief or depression. However, The High Priestess suggests that you should trust your intuition and listen to your inner voice. You may need to take some time for yourself to figure out what’s really going on, and what you need to do to move forward.

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 9 Of Swords 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 9 Of Swords 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 Tarot card encourages you to take care of your health and well-being. It is important to listen to your body and trust your intuition when it comes to your health. The High Priestess also suggests that you take time for yourself to relax and recharge, as this will help you to stay healthy and balanced.

Finances: The High Priestess Tarot card suggests that you trust your intuition when it comes to your finances. This is a time to be patient and to listen to your inner voice. You may need to save up for something important, or make a large purchase. Whatever the case may be, trust that you will make the right decisions when it comes to your finances.

Relationships: The High Priestess Tarot card suggests that you take time to nurture and care for your relationships. This is a time to be honest with yourself and your partners. It is also important to listen to your intuition when it comes to your relationships. Trust that you will know what is best for you and your relationships.

What does 9 Of Swords mean?

The 9 Of Swords Tarot card can indicate that someone is suffering from anxiety or depression. This can manifest in many ways, such as insomnia, nightmares, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday life. This can also lead to physical health problems, as the mind and body are connected. Financial worries may also be present, as The 9 Of Swords can indicate a fear of never having enough. In relationships, The 9 Of Swords can indicate a need for space and time to heal. This doesn’t necessarily mean the end of a relationship, but it does mean that things need to go at a slower pace for a while.

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 9 Of Swords has helped you.
