Drawing The High Priestess Card And Strength 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 Strength card together in particular.

The The High Priestess card and Strength 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 Strength mean together?

The High Priestess and Strength tarot cards together suggest that you should trust your intuition and have the courage to love yourself unconditionally. Secrets and mystery are a part of life, but so is trust and respect. By learning to love and respect yourself, you’ll be better equipped to deal with the challenges that life throws your way.

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 Strength 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?

Health: The High Priestess Tarot card means that you should trust your intuition and pay attention to your body’s inner workings. This is a time to focus on your mental and spiritual health, rather than your physical health. You may need to take some time out to relax and reflect, in order to get in touch with your true self.

Finances: The High Priestess Tarot card means that you should trust your intuition when it comes to your finances. This is a time to focus on your long-term financial goals, rather than your short-term needs. You may need to make some sacrifices in order to achieve your financial goals. However, if you trust your intuition, you will eventually be rewarded.

Relationships: The High Priestess Tarot card means that you should trust your intuition when it comes to your relationships. This is a time to focus on your innermost desires, rather than your outward appearances. You may need to spend some time alone in order to get in touch with your true self. However, if you trust your intuition, you will eventually be rewarded with meaningful and lasting relationships.

What does Strength mean?

Strength is the tarot card that speaks of self-love, unconditional love, self-respect, and courage. When it comes to health, Strength reminds us to take care of our bodies and to be gentle with ourselves. We should eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, and get enough rest. We should also follow our doctor’s orders and take prescribed medications if needed. When it comes to finances, Strength tells us to be responsible with our money. We should save for a rainy day, spend wisely, and avoid debt. When it comes to relationships, Strength tells us to be honest with ourselves and others. We should communicate openly and freely, show our affection, and express our needs. We should also be accepting of others and their differences.

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 Strength has helped you.
