The Hermit
The Hermit meaning: The Hermit speaks to solitude, searching, inner light. Step back from the noise to find your own light — you carry the lamp, it just needs the dark to be seen. Some answers only arrive in solitude.
Upright
The Hermit. Step back from the noise to find your own light — you carry the lamp, it just needs the dark to be seen. Some answers only arrive in solitude. Go get them, then come back.
Reversed
Reversed, the retreat has curdled into hiding — solitude that's become a wall, or a refusal of the hand being offered. Withdraw to see, not to vanish.
The Hermit in Love, Work & Self
Space and solitude — this season may ask for inner work before connection. Know yourself first.
Step back from the noise to find your own answer; the guidance you need is a quiet one.
Withdraw to hear yourself think. You carry the lamp; you just need the dark to see it.
