The Hermit
- Keywords - Caution, discernment, wisdom that comes from experience, discretion, withdrawal, detachment, patience, life experience.
- Meaning in love - This Card reveals that, on a sentimental level, you may be feeling isolated and alone even though you are surrounded by friends and your partner's attention. It's an opportunity to think about where this discontent is coming from. If you are not happy with yourself, you will hardly be able to find harmony with others.
Advice
This Card suggests that you are going through a period of balance, a period of introspection. You may feel the need to listen to your inner voice and make important decisions. Is there anything or aspect you would like to change in your life? Maybe looking for a new professional challenge or giving a new direction to a relationship that worries you? Do you feel alone even when you are together? Are there any emotional or ethical conflicts that prevent you from making a decision?
Whatever the issue, it's time to stop, take some quality time for yourself and think about your priorities and what makes you happy. Don't waste your vital energy on minor matters or toxic people.
Practical Suggestions
This Card suggests calm and thoughtfulness, but also the personal effort to reach a new level. Pay off all your material and moral debts. Work to increase your well-being and that of those you love. Take care of your feelings and give yourself time to reorganize your life. As you resolve the worries that plague you, your inner light becomes stronger and more resistant. Look at your problems head-on and solve them. Let your inner light guide your path.
Message
In a Tarot reading, the Hermit Card indicates the need for isolation and introspection. The hermit is a character who lives isolated, away from everything and everyone, dedicating himself to meditation and contemplation. This Card suggests that you may be going through one of those times when you need to turn inward to your inner world in order to be able to deal with what is going on outside or redefine your priorities.
This can be a great time to let go of all the distractions and superficialities that smother your daily life to focus on what's really important to you. Seek advice from those who value the opinion, but don't fail to follow your intuition and what your heart tells you.
