IX The Hermit

Virgo

The Hermit can often indicate a great spiritual awakening, or a long process of enlightenment or illumination taking place in your life. It indicates you are turning inward and looking toward a deeper part of your life and yourself or embarking on a spiritual journey of some kind.

It can suggest either that you already have a lot of experience or wisdom on a spiritual level, which you are now able to use to help others, or that you are the one in need of help from a more experienced person. Hermit can therefore indicate acts of compassion toward others, as well as an inner light that has that has driven you this far, and which you now wish to share with the world The Hermit is every desire to bring inner wisdom and experience into outer reality and shine one’s light for others to see.

This card often advises you to remove yourself from a situation to see things more clearly. Alternately, you may need to take the “high road” in a situation and rise above it.

The Hermit may recommend that you take some time to be alone rather than surrounding yourself with others. This might indicate a retreat of some kind, a meditation practice, a holiday, or a short trip alone. It can even be something as mundane as a walk in the park. It is time for you to undergo some soul searching in order for your life to progress.

You maybe currently in a time of barrenness, and this soul searching and turning inward will give you the answers you seek, which will help fuel your creativity and projects.

The Hermit suggests that the endeavour you are currently undertaking or hoping to begin is best done alone, without too much help (and interference!) from others.

Love/Relationships: Relationship-wise, if single, this card indicates that you will not find a relationship for quite a while, most likely because you have other things to do alone first. Maybe you are simply not ready for a relationship or need the time alone to know yourself better.

Finance/Career: In a work or business context, it can point to working from home, or you running your own business based on your experience and wisdom.
