The Hermit

Sometimes, we must pause and filter out the noise to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and discover our inner voice. This is the lesson that The Hermit teaches. If you are currently assessing your love life, career, or finances, the card upright reminds us to look inward, for the answers we seek lie within, not outside of ourselves. It encourages us to make space for solitude, introspection, and spiritual growth—if you aren't already doing this. Contemplation helps us connect with ourselves so we can act authentically, aligning with our highest good.

Solitude and being a recluse are not the same. Be cautious about withdrawing from human contact for too long. The Hermit reversed reminds you that loneliness is real, and isolation can be harmful if we are not fully prepared. While soul-searching can be beneficial, it is through reconnecting with our communities that we can best apply what we've learned.
