Energy 2 in the Destiny Matrix: The High Priestess

2 · In the day of birth · point A

A two in the day of birth gives you the innate gift of a diplomat: you are tactful, delicate and skilled at smoothing rough edges. Well-developed intuition helps you get to the heart of things and give people valuable advice. You like to stay in the shadows and do not show your true face to everyone.

You sense the state of those around you and deeply understand life and its patterns. You find it more comfortable to steer a situation unnoticed, guiding events in the direction you need. From outsiders you hide the truth and prefer to keep up appearances. You understand and love nature and the animal world.

People feel calm around you. You balance others like a household lightning rod: you can soothe, reconcile, find a compromise. You live by the principle of accept and give thanks. With family, friends and children you share a spiritual bond and can feel their state from a distance. After parting from a loved one, you go on feeling their thoughts and emotions for a long time.

In its minus, endless doubt, capriciousness, inconstancy and dissatisfaction appear. The person becomes secretive, two-faced and prone to lying. They switch masks and roles easily; there is artistry in that, but also falseness, so people consider them unreliable. Contact with intuition and the inner world is lost, actions become inconsistent, and the will to act disappears. A taste for intrigue emerges: the ability to set people against each other and manipulate them.

• Well-developed intuition makes you a talented adviser and mentor. Use these abilities for good.
• Watch your pull towards intrigue and work on it.

2 · In the month · point B

A two in the month of birth speaks of a gift received from above. It is a very gentle energy of harmony, like the protective veil of the Most Holy Mother of God: thanks to it, tense situations dissolve. Developing your intuition gives you access to divine guidance.

The gift of the High Priestess lets you see and notice what others miss, calm negative emotions and share your energy. You understand other people's pain and try to help and heal. Such people become healers of souls and bodies, able to take pain away.

The guardian angel at this point may be a person with unusual abilities: a fortune-teller, a clairvoyant, an esotericist, a woman seeking spiritual growth, a psychologist, a keeper of a secret or a mystery. It may be a childless or elderly woman, a nun, a woman who has long lived without a man, or a mother, nanny, midwife, doctor, vet, nurse's aide, nature lover or guardian. You yourself can be a guardian angel too. The highest protection comes from the Protecting Veil of the Most Holy Mother of God, so it is especially useful for you to know at least one prayer. This is also the energy of Hera, Vesta and Hecate. It protects you, but you must not anger it: an enraged Hecate is very dangerous.

Contact with the Higher Powers is cut off when you deny nature and intuition. There is another danger: getting carried away with the fight for justice at any cost and provoking the anger of the higher powers. The responsibility for how you use the knowledge you receive is very high, and the punishment will touch everything you hold dear. When you listen to your intuition and trust yourself, a state of deep harmony and balance sets in. A divine current begins to flow through you, guiding and inspiring you towards the right actions.

• Spend more time in nature, be with animals, work with the elements. Make contact with trees and plants and draw strength from them.
• Turn to your patronesses (Vesta, Hathor, the Slavic Vedas), study hidden knowledge and follow the lunar cycles.
• Learn in a structured, gradual way, observe the esoteric laws and remember the law of the boomerang.
• Open yourself to the Higher Powers, trust your inner sensations and let the energy flow freely.

2 · In the year · point C

In the year of birth the two shows mostly in its minus. The person is out of balance and feels no support within, hence the insincerity, lying and unreliability. When the inner struggle stops, energy is freed for action and self-realisation.

In this position the person constantly changes masks: says one thing today and another tomorrow. The inner discord demands compensation, and a desire appears to gossip and talk about others behind their backs.

Laziness and passivity arise here because too much energy is spent on the inner struggle. There is simply none left for action.

• Overcome passivity by an act of will: take up sport and physical exercise, keep your body in shape.
• Speak openly about yourself and your needs, and do not be afraid to be sincere. Drop the habit of wearing masks, faking and gossiping, and become a reliable person.
• Study the laws and principles by which the world works. Find a point of inner harmony and balance you can always return to, and listen to your inner voice: it points to the right decisions.
• Keep growing and do not let yourself stagnate. Open your heart to love for yourself and for others.

2 · In the bottom corner · point D

The karmic task of the High Priestess concerns relationships. You need to build them correctly with your mother, with women, with children and with nature.

Good relationships with your mother and with any older women help you fulfil this task. Constant study in the field of hidden knowledge and the ability to handle other people's secrets serve as your support. Protecting nature holds a special place.

• Mend your relationships with your mother and with older women.
• Keep learning in the field of hidden knowledge and handle other people's secrets with care.
• Protect nature.

2 · In the centre · comfort zone

A two in the centre of the matrix describes your comfort zone. Your strength comes from contact with nature, animals and water, when you are in a flow of unity with the Universe. At home you feel best among plants and animals.

The High Priestess likes her home to feel like the heart of nature: flowers, herbs, a tomato plant in a pot. She has a fine feeling for everything alive and can communicate with the souls of animals and trees. When her energy runs low, hugging a tree is enough to recharge.

Two needs live at this point. The first: to bind people to you through service and care. You want to be looked after, or you look after others but expect gratitude in return. The second: to study esoteric knowledge.

Society sees you as a calm and mysterious person who never flinches and whose feelings cannot be read. You attract an inexplicable, magnetic sympathy and find common ground with everyone. You keep your private life behind seven locked doors, and your own meditative state matters more to you than anything.
