The High Priestessfor Pisces

"You already know. Stop asking everyone else."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A figure sits in balance between their own negative and positive thoughts. They appear in balance with the spirits and the natural highs and lows that come from life's journey. A tapestry of pomegranates behind alludes to fertility
Look closer.
The high priestess sits like an oracle at Delphi, waiting to answer questions with a lot of book knowledge and a strong intuition. Drawing this card means you must take all your knowledge and intuition to act wisely in a situation. There is a coldness to this card, a bit of the alien moon goddess. Notice that both the oracle at delphi and an alien moon goddess are not, themselves, taking actions-- this card can also mean a bit of disconnection between intuition and initiative
You are blocked from your own intuition. Perhaps you value others (or societies) opinions over your own inner voice.
This card had been a reference to the myth of a female Pope (it was originally called The Papess). Hover it was changed to be 'high priestess' based off of a theory that tarot was originally created in ancient Egypt.

The High Priestess for Pisces
The Dreamer
Pisces is a Water mutable sign ruled by Jupiter, whose natural subject is the unconscious, dissolution, retreat, what is hidden from the self. Moon is a luminary and Pisces runs on Neptune, so this card lights something up rather than fixing it. It is asking to be seen before it is solved. Pisces is mutable: it adapts, and this is a card about beginning, so the start will be easy and the shape of it will keep changing. Upright, this is happening out in the visible world, where other people can see it and respond to it.

Artemis remembers what you asked, and tells you when something comes back around.
