"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 Virgo in Money and Wealth
The Analyst
Moon is a luminary and Virgo runs on Mercury, so this card lights something up rather than fixing it. It is asking to be seen before it is solved. Upright, this is happening out in the visible world, where other people can see it and respond to it.
When reading about money through a Virgo lens, the High Priestess card says that you feel like money is something you track precisely, a source of quiet anxiety (or control), and something you save rather than spend because you're not sure what it's for yet. This has either led to genuine financial stability and the ability to help others, or to a bank account that never feels full enough. You have not looked at your full financial picture all at once, and the not-looking costs more than the looking would. The Virgo blind spot in it is the feeling of being useless, or of having wasted time on something that didn't hold up.
In practice that can look like a change in circumstance rather than an amount, or what money is for shifting. Whatever form it takes, it is happening in the visible world where other people can see it.
