The High Priestess Reversed

The High Priestess Reversed

Upright, the High Priestess is intuitive and looks inside for the truth, rather than seeking answers from outside. The Priestess is often a teacher, guide, or wise source of psychic information. 
In reverse, she may seek those answers from the outside. There could be a few other things happening here as well. Figure out which one is correct for you:
 

1. You’re not trusting yourself.
2. You’re too emotional to deal with your issues right now.
3. Your intuition is or was wrong, and you can’t trust it now.
4. You’re losing faith in something.
