The Hermit Meaning
- introspection
- solitude
- search
- wisdom
Upright meaning
The Hermit stands alone on a mountaintop holding his lantern. The card invites you to step back from the noise, turn inward and look for answers within. For a while you need quiet and time alone.
Reversed meaning
Reversed, The Hermit shows withdrawing too much, loneliness weighing on you, or avoiding facing yourself. It may be time to reconnect with people.
What does The Hermit mean in love?
In love, a need to turn inward, distance in a relationship, or a single season of getting to know yourself.
Career and money
At work, specialisation, research and deep focused work. With money, a careful and simple period.
Yes or no?
Not yet. That is the answer The Hermit gives in yes-or-no spreads; but a card's meaning is only complete when read together with the cards beside it and the context of your question.
