Majestic means grand and dignified, like royalty or mountains. A majestic view, majestic ruins, move majestically.
It combines scale with a slowness or stillness — a majestic sweep, a majestic old tree — and it cannot be used of anything hurried. It belongs to landscape writing and to ceremony. Note majestically; and majesty, which is both the quality and the form of address for a monarch, Your Majesty, where the word is doing rather different work.
