High Priestess as How Someone Sees You (Upright & Reversed) Tarot Card Meaning

The High Priestess is the card of inner balance, intuition, and duality. Her number is 2, balancing two sides to everything. She sits between light and darkness, black and white, sun and moon, masculine and feminine, yin and yang, life and death, conscious and unconscious. In love, she represents a soul connection that transcends karmic cycles. 

The High Priestess sits peacefully between two pillars, one white, one black. She is in perfect harmony with the material and spiritual worlds. She asks you to look within yourself for the answer, because your intuition and feelings will guide you to the truth. 

Upright High Priestess as How Someone Sees You

If you are asking about how someone sees you, and you draw the High Priestess, that means this person sees you as someone they have known for a lifetime. That is how deep your connection is. You are drawn towards each other as if the universe has conspired for your meeting. You can feel the spiritual connection even if it’s the first meeting. You are destined.

The High Priestess means that they see you as the balancing entity in their life. You complete them. You give them inner peace. You evoke a sense of mindfulness — of being in the present, enjoying the “now.” They don’t want to let go of you. Being with you allows them to reconnect with their authentic Self.

For singles and those embarking on new relationships, the High Priestess is a sign that they see you as a turning point in their life. Meeting you was fate, and they are confident you can bring forth the change they have always been waiting for. Remember that this kind of peace and serenity is new waters for them. While they may progress slowly, the connection is already on a deep level. Therefore, be patient, as the wait is worth it.

For existing relationships, the High Priestess means that they see you as their person. You are soulmates and life partners. This person fills in the gaps and missing pieces of your life, and the feeling is mutual. No matter what challenges may come along the way, you are bound to overcome them. Your connection is already at a deeper, spiritual level, one that is written in the stars.

If you are asking about an ex’s intentions, the High Priestess shows that they see you as a significant person in their life. Your relationship may have already ended, but they are still thankful for the time spent with you. You contributed to their individual growth. But this does not automatically mean they want to reconcile. You will know deep within if your connection is headed for a karmic cycle.

In the context of whether or not a relationship is headed for commitment, engagement, or marriage, the High Priestess means that they see you as a constant person in their life. They know you are soulmates and believe life without you is impossible. However, they are slow to act on what they want, regardless of how deep the bond you share. If you want to take the relationship to the next level, you may need to communicate your unsaid expectations and unmet needs. But keep in mind that you do not need to worry. Things might be slow, but they are sure; you are destined for each other.

For instance, they want to keep you in the dark about their feelings toward you. In this case, they may be too shy to admit they like you. In worse cases, it may involve infidelity and deceit. The High Priestess upside down is a reminder that all dark secrets will be revealed in the light soon.

For singles and those embarking on new relationships, the High Priestess reversed is a sign that they see you as someone they cannot click with. They are not interested in pursuing you. If anything, you two are not compatible with one another. They have had many issues in the past and are experiencing personal struggles. Remember that “saving” them does not automatically mean they are willing to change for you. Ask yourself and contemplate: can a healthy relationship be possible with this person?

For existing relationships, the High Priestess reversed means that they see you as someone who is not entirely honest with them. They think you are hiding something from them. Relationships are built on trust and honesty. How can you deepen the connection when you doubt one another? To save the relationship from irreparable damage, it’s best you address the imbalances in your relationship, no matter how small. For example, there are traits you hate about your partner, but you are too polite to tell them. When left unresolved for long, these small gaps in communication will bring negative consequences in the future.

If you are asking about an ex’s intentions, the High Priestess reversed shows that they see you as a person they have moved on from. Yes, the relationship was essential to them. But they have already completed the karmic cycle with you. They are not interested in reconciliation. But be careful; an ex might take advantage of you and only want a sexual relationship. 

In the context of whether or not a relationship is headed for commitment, engagement, or marriage, the High Priestess reversed means that they do not see you as marriage material. Your connection is not deep enough to want them to enter a life commitment with you. Something is blocking the relationship from moving on to the next phase. At some point, your partner doesn’t want to hurt your feelings, so they go with the flow instead of being honest with you. You should address these issues and be honest with one another. Talk about where you want the relationship to be headed.
