The High Priestess

Not everything is ready to be known. Listen more than you speak, trust the quiet sense you already have, and let the picture complete itself.

Love
Feelings run deeper than words just now; give them time.
Work and money
Gather information before you commit; keep your plans private.
Reversed
Ignoring your inner voice, or secrets kept too long. Make time to listen.

Tarot is a mirror for reflection, not a forecast. For timing in marriage or career, your kundli says far more.
