The Hermit

Major Arcana

This is tarot, a different tradition from astrology. The card is drawn at random: nothing in the sky chooses it. It is a prompt for reflection and it predicts nothing.

How tarot is handled here

IXThe Hermit
Tarot cardMajor Arcana

Traditionally read as withdrawal in order to see more clearly: solitude, reflection and the search for one’s own answer. It is associated with experience, careful thought and a light carried for oneself or for others.

  • solitude
  • reflection
  • guidance

Reversed

What the tradition associates with this card when it falls the other way up.

Reversed, traditionally read as solitude that has stopped serving its purpose. Withdrawal becomes isolation in one reading; in the other, the quiet time that reflection needs is being avoided altogether.

  • isolation
  • avoided reflection
  • return
A question to sit withIs my distance from others still helping me think, or just a habit now?
