Keywords: intuition, knowledge, silence, hidden strength.
The High Priestess is the energy of inner knowing. People with this arcana sense more than they say, read other people's moods well and often know in advance how a situation will end. Their strength lies in observation, study and keeping secrets.
Arcana 2: light side
Deep intuition, analytical thinking, a gift for teaching and advising, diplomacy, gentle influence without pressure.
Arcana 2: shadow side
Withdrawal, distrust, holding grudges, passivity and expecting others to guess what they need.
Arcana 2 in love

Arcana 2 in money and career
Psychology, medicine, analytics, science, education, consulting, archives, working with information. Money stays when the Priestess charges for her knowledge instead of giving it away.
