Drawing The High Priestess Card And Death Tarot Cards Together | What Do They Mean When Together? | A Complete Guide

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 Death card together in particular.

The The High Priestess card and Death 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 Death mean together?

The High Priestess and Death tarot cards together represent a time of great change and transformation. The High Priestess suggests that there are secrets and mysteries yet to be revealed, and that it is time to trust your intuition. The Death card indicates that it is time to let go of the past and move on to new beginnings. This combination of cards suggests that you are about to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. It is a time to let go of what no longer serves you and to open yourself up to new possibilites. This can be a time of great healing and rebirth.

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 Death 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 Death 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 is a reminder to trust your intuition and to listen to your body. You know what is best for you, so trust your instincts when it comes to your health. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it. Pay attention to your body and mind, and you will be able to maintain your health and well-being.

Finances: The High Priestess Tarot card indicates that there may be some hidden aspects to your finances. Take a close look at your expenses and income, and be sure that you are not overlooking anything. There could be some hidden expenses that are draining your resources, or you may be underestimating your income. Trust your intuition when it comes to your finances, and you will be able to make the best decisions for your situation.

Relationships: The High Priestess Tarot card suggests that there is some mystery surrounding your relationships. Trust your intuition when it comes to your relationships, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you feel like something is off, it probably is. Be open and honest with your partner, and you will be able to maintain a healthy and happy relationship.

What does Death mean?

Change is inevitable, and The Death Tarot card is a reminder that nothing lasts forever. Sometimes change can be difficult, but it is also necessary for growth. This card suggests that it may be time to let go of something that is no longer serving you, in order to make room for new beginnings. This can be a difficult process, but ultimately it is one that can lead to transformation and rebirth.

In terms of health, The Death Tarot card suggests that change is on the horizon. This could be a time to reassess your lifestyle and make necessary changes in order to improve your health. It is also possible that this change could come in the form of a health scare or diagnosis, which would prompt you to make significant changes in your life.

In terms of finances, The Death Tarot card can indicate that it is time for a fresh start. This could be a good time to declutter your finances and get rid of anything that is no longer serving you. It is also possible that this is a time of transition, where you may be moving from one phase of your life to another. This could mean changing jobs, starting a new business, or simply making a major purchase. Whatever the case may be, The Death Tarot card suggests that change is on the horizon.

In terms of relationships, The Death Tarot card suggests that it may be time to let go of a relationship that is no longer serving you. This could be a difficult decision, but ultimately it is one that is necessary in order to move on and create new and healthier relationships.

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 Death has helped you.
