Drawing The High Priestess Card And The Hanged Man 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 The Hanged Man card together in particular.

The The High Priestess card and The Hanged Man 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 The Hanged Man mean together?

The High Priestess and The Hanged Man together represent the need to tap into your intuition and trust your inner voice. The Hanged Man reminds us that sometimes we need to take a step back and view things from a different perspective in order to gain a greater understanding. The High Priestess represents the hidden knowledge and mysteries that we must uncover in order to progress on our journey. Combining these two messages, we are reminded to listen to our intuition, even when it might lead us down a different path than we had originally planned. This is a time for trust and self-reflection, in order to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our relationships.

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 The Hanged Man 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 The Hanged Man 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.

It is also a time to reconsider your options and look at things from a different perspective. The Hanged Man encourages you to be patient and to trust that everything will work out in the end.
