Feminine and Masculine energy in Tarot.

Today we are gonna talk about Feminine and Masculine energies which are presented in the cards of Priestess, Priest, Empress and Emperor and connections of all of them - The Lovers. They are balancing one another and needs one another.

After we started as a fool and now learned to become magicians we start to follow the path of the High Priestess where we connect with feminine and creative energy. The meaning of priestess is wisdom.

You followed your path, found your strengths and will to do anything you want and now you have the knowledge which you need to achieve it. You have knowledge not only about magic itself but about the world around you and how to influence it to achieve what you want. But on the other side, you have also knowledge about yourself and what you are able to do, as well as your weaknesses and powers. The Priestess is full of wisdom and knowledge and uses it to teach others, focus on intuition and also educates others. She is hiding her emotions as they are not needed for teaching, but she can be trusted. Learning and focusing on others might bring platonic relationships, yet she's using her common sense and doesn't allow them to happen. She is pure, wise and intuitive, prevents everything as she foresees it. In reversed meaning, it is lack of knowledge which will bring only problems into your life. You don't see things that you need to see and you are too selfish to understand what's really happening around you. Do not be ignorant and do not make judgments as you don't know everything which might be needed to understand the whole situation. Find the knowledge you miss to actually focus and move on the path to the next step.

And now we reach the card of Empress

While the Priestess is full of wisdom and teaches, the one who goes into steps of Empress is leadership. She is full of wisdom and now she's ready to move into action and take control over her life. She's a leader, who uses her knowledge for good and progress. She developed herself and her intuitiveness makes her influence others with herself. She is like a caring mother and a sister, more than a teacher. She makes decisions and doesn't hesitate from it as her evolution created her to be for others. She motivates, helps and leads others, as much as she looks for her people and helps. The reversed meaning of this card is anxiety. You are afraid of taking control. You aren't interested in leading and you don't have enough concentration. Your fears make delays in your progress and achievements. You focus too much on things that are seducing you as well as fickle love, instead of focus on overcoming everything and making it fertile for you.

While Emperor was the ruler who follows intelligence, Pope is a more balanced version of his. He mixes both influences of male and female. He is a leader but a mainly spiritual one, which focus on ceremonies and rituals and lead them. He is also kind and forgiving which goes from female influences, and might create conformity. He servers others and helps them rather than forcing them to do what he wishes, yet he's unable to adapt himself to new circumstances. Everything he knows goes from past and influences. He understands history, and its effects on his path, and focus on it more than on the future. His ideas might be

outdated, but he also represents goodness and servitude for everyone without hesitation. Reversed meaning is over kindness, which is shattering you because others don't understand it. You repeat your own errors and mistakes and don't try to even look at them to learn from them. You are vulnerable, yet you create foolish exercises of generosity and overcare for others.

Ritualism. Mercy ceremonies. Humility. Kindness. Goodness. Forgiveness. Inspiration.

Reversed meanings:

Foolish exercise of generosity. Overkindness. Repeated errors. Unorthodoxy.

The next card on Arcanas is Lovers. The card itself symbolises the union of two previous archetypes – as much as Priest and Priestess, same it connects Emperor and Empress together with strong and never destroyable union. Feminine and Masculine energies are connected in this card creating true harmony of opposition. The emotions of theirs are creating unions like yin-yang connection or light and dark. Soul mates/Twin flames are connecting together in these cards and show to us the beauty of the emotion of love. The true and deep feelings are represented in there, going together with loyalty and trust for one another. It doesn't represent a simple romance or

attraction but a more deep meaning for emotional stability and expression. The card shows also freedom of your emotions and happiness which is visible to everyone. Reversed meaning shows a lack of love, problems in marriage and partnership or relationships with people in general. Your plans might fail because of your problems trusting others and generate more unhappiness. It also shows separation from loved ones and being alone from your own choice – it is only you who stops yourself from achieving the beauty of true love, by your own doubts and problems with trust.
