Title: Priestess of the Silver Star
ON the surface this is a card of purity, but within the wider bounds of this idea lies the concept of things hidden or concealed. The High Priestess is the receptacle of secret knowledge and wisdom, the mysteries which will only be revealed when the candidate is suitably prepared. She is the immaculate queen of heaven.
Isis, the lunar goddess, was one of the most popular of all Ancient Egyptian deities. She was the sister and wife of Osiris. The High Priestess is the higher spiritual counterpart of the earthly Empress. The High Priestess is the middle pillar on the Tree of Life.
Her robe is blue, the colour traditionally associated with the High Priestess card. It is a symbolic colour of the moon, and in Christian iconography the colour of the Virgin Mary. It denotes truth, revelation, wisdom, chastity, prudence, piety, peace and contemplation. It is the colour of the waters and of the sky. The ankh represents the combining in a single form of male and female symbols, the union and unification of the sexes. It is the key to the mysteries. The mystical union of heaven and earth. The marriage of lsis and Osiris. Its colour is menstrual red. The papyrus roll represents knowledge as yet unrevealed. It is the book of the law. As with the whole card, the papyrus represents Gnosis - it is the Word.
The dove is one of the sacred birds of Isis, a representation of submissive innocence, purity and virginity. It is white (purity again), the colour of the moon. Conversely, it is the holy spirit, the agent of divine impregnation. Through the action implied by the dove, the virgin becomes the mother, Priestess becomes the Empress, the idea becomes manifest on the earthly plain. This is the first throne depicted in the cards of the Major Arcana. In Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs some pictures represented sounds. The picture of a throne represented the sound 'Ase' or 'Eset' this was the name by which Isis was known. The throne is the physical embodiment of Isis.
Astrologically this card corresponds to the moon. It is a feminine symbol. The moon is a ruler of the subconscious mind, governing insight, instinct and intuition rather than logic and rationality. As the moon she is the visible reflection of the divine light. A veil of silver-grey cloth hangs between the pillars, concealing the horizon directly behind the High Priestess. It is decorated with images of lotus flowers. The veil itself symbolises the darkness before dawn, the darkness that will be cast aside or rent by the rising sun. It represents the state before enlightenment, the promise of the revelation of forthcoming initiation. The veil also suggests the concealed entrance to the subconscious levels of the psyche. Like many other elements in this card the veil is also an emblem of virginity.
Interpretation The card suggests that insight into problems produces a solution. Hidden knowledge. A change for the better. The favourable influence of a woman. Intuition and psychic experiences. Purity. Imagination, dreams, perhaps sometimes even nightmares. Hypnosis. Spiritual rather than mundane interests. The High Priestess is the bride before the wedding.

English to Thai: 5 Hours or Less of Sleep Increases Risk of Chronic Disease

5 Hours or Less of Sleep Increases Risk of Chronic Disease: Study
Sleeping for five hours or less a night if you’re age 50 or older could increase your risk of getting two or more chronic diseases as you age, research has found.
The study was published on Oct. 18 in the journal PLOS Medicine.
Researchers from University College London (UCL) in the United Kingdom tracked the health and sleep duration of 7,864 men and women who were employed in the London offices of the British civil service over 30 years and who had no chronic disease at age 50.
Self-reported sleep duration was measured six times between 1985 and 2016, and data on sleep duration was extracted at ages 50, 60, and 70. Researchers looked at the data and examined its association with incident multimorbidity over 25 years of follow-up.
Incident multimorbidity is defined by researchers as having two or more of 13 chronic diseases, including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and kidney disease.
The study found that those who slept five hours or less around the age of 50 were 20 percent more likely to have been diagnosed with a chronic disease and 40 percent more likely to be diagnosed with two or more chronic diseases over 25 years, than those who slept seven hours a night.
Additionally, sleeping for five hours or less at the age of 50, 60, and 70 was linked to a 30 to 40 percent increased risk of two or more chronic diseases when compared with those who slept for up to seven hours.
Americans Not Getting Enough Sleep
Researchers also found that a sleep duration of five hours or less at age 50 was associated with a 25 percent increased risk of death over the 25 years of follow-up, which they attributed to the increased risk of chronic disease.
The authors of the study acknowledged a number of limitations, including the small number of cases in the long sleep category, the self-reported nature of sleep data, and the possibility of reverse causality (the error of mistaking cause for effect and vice versa) that could arise from undiagnosed conditions.
“In this study, we observed short sleep duration to be associated with risk of chronic disease and subsequent multimorbidity but not with progression to death,” the authors noted. “There was no robust evidence of an increased risk of chronic disease among those with long sleep duration at age 50. Our findings suggest an association between short sleep duration and multimorbidity.”
Roughly one in three Americans aren’t getting enough sleep or rest either at night or during the day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), while an estimated 50 to 70 million Americans have chronic, or ongoing, sleep disorders.
Not sleeping enough can lead to physical and mental health problems, and increase the likelihood of death, according to the CDC.
Adults aged 18–60 years should get at least seven hours of sleep per night for optimal health, experts say, while those aged 61–64 years should get between seven to nine hours. Those aged 65 years and older need about seven to eight hours a night.
