Tarot - The Hermit

The Meaning of The Hermit Card

By Crystal, OCS Clairvoyant Psychic

Card number 9 in the Major Arcarna (Trump Cards) The Hermit bodes a
time when the only true company you can keep is your own. A time to
quiet your mind and draw into yourself to find the hidden enlightenment.
The wisdom hinted at in The Hermit card is ageless, he is Time itself.
After you have locked yourself away from the World to see inside yourself
you will emerge ever wiser to share again with others.

If reversed or near negative cards The Hermit is a lonely card. For
some reason you have withdrawn from society, friends and family.

In love The Hermit card says that you need time for introspection and
self discovery before you will be ready to get involved in a relationship.
Take some time for yourself and self improvement, later you will be at
your best and ready to give of yourself to a partner.

In career readings The Hermit can mean the work of a spiritual leader
or scholar. In a more mundane sense it can mean anonymity or working
from home.
