The girl stands between two stumps, each engraved with a letter—“B” and “J”—symbolizing Yin and Yang. As the High Priestess she is in the middle, indicating balance. In her left hand she cradles a book that represents wisdom and hidden knowledge. Her right hand reaches out to playfully interact with the cat perched on one of the stumps. A duck lies lazily on the stump in front of her. Below her, the reflection of the moon in the water rises and falls, sending out ripples that stand for emotions and the subconscious, suggesting she has excellent emotional regulation. The cross on her chest represents the power of nature and of the divine.
