Upright and reversed meanings, love, career, yes or no, and advice for The Hermit.
Also called: the Hermit card · Hermit tarot · IX Hermit
The Hermit walks alone with his lantern, lighting just the next step. This card calls you inward for reflection, rest and soul searching. It's not a sad card. It's a wise one. When it appears, the answers you need will come from quiet time, not from the noise around you. It can also point to a mentor or spiritual teacher.
Reversed, the Hermit can mean you've withdrawn so far that you feel lonely or cut off. Or it can mean you're avoiding the reflection you need. Find the balance between solitude and connection.
In love, the Hermit suggests taking time to understand yourself before (or within) a relationship. Singles may be in a healing season. Couples may need quiet time together.
Reversed in love, it can point to loneliness or a partner who's emotionally distant. Reach out instead of waiting.
At work, the Hermit favors research, study and working independently. It may also mean reconsidering whether your career fits who you really are.
This card is a maybe. The answer depends on your choices, timing or information you don't have yet, so look at the cards around it for more clues.
The Hermit is linked to Virgo, the thoughtful earth sign of service and inner wisdom. That energy colors everything this card means.
As card number IX of the Major Arcana, The Hermit marks a stage in the Fool's Journey, the story of growth the Major Arcana tells from beginning to end.
The Major Arcana are the 22 big-picture cards of the deck. They show major life lessons, turning points and the bigger forces at work in your story. When a Major Arcana card shows up, pay extra attention: the message is important and often has to do with your soul's growth, not just day-to-day events.
