The High Priestess
Upright
Seated between two pillars, a veil of pomegranates behind her, the High Priestess keeps what she knows to herself until you are ready to hear it from inside. Upright, she is a cue to stop asking others and listen to what you already sense but have not said out loud.
Reversed
Reversed: information withheld too long, a secret that has curdled into avoidance, or a gut feeling you are actively talking yourself out of.
