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 Lovers card together in particular.
The The High Priestess card and The Lovers 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 Lovers mean together?
The two tarot cards together suggest that you need to be trusting of your intuition and open to secrets and mysteries. You also need to be willing to make a choice in your relationships, and to have the strength to stand together with your partner. This can be a powerful combination for health and 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
Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as The High Priestess and The Lovers 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 is a very mysterious card, and her meanings are often hidden or obscured. In health, she can indicate a need to trust your intuition and go with your gut feeling, as this is often where the answers to our health concerns lie. She can also suggest a need for more rest and relaxation, as well as a focus on the spiritual side of health. In finance, The High Priestess can suggest that it is time to trust your intuition when it comes to making financial decisions. This is not a time to take risks, but rather to go with your gut and trust that you will make the right choices. In relationships, The High Priestess can indicate that it is time to trust your intuition and go with your gut when it comes to making decisions about your relationships. This is not a time to take risks, but rather to trust that your intuition will guide you to the right choices.
What does The Lovers mean?
The Lovers Tarot card is a very positive card when it comes to relationships. It suggests that you are in a strong and committed relationship, or that you are about to be. This is a very positive card for health, as it suggests that you are in a good place physically and emotionally. It is also a good card for finances, as it suggests that you are able to work together to achieve your financial goals.
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 The Lovers has helped you.
