The Hermit

feeling the need to move on. What once interested you has lost its charm, and you’re seeking more meaning and rewards.

The Hermit is a card of illumination and of finding your own way and wisdom, away from the distraction of others. You might find yourself feeling pulled to isolate yourself from the world so that you can do some soul searching. Instead of turning to others for answers, you are intent on finding them in yourself.

If this card shows up in your reading, you might be feeling a need to make a change in life, and you might realize that you need to really reevaluate who you are and what your priorities are so that you can find a path in life that suits you better. The Hermit shows a person who questions the meaning in his/her life and why things have brought the person to this point - this place in time. You'll use the wisdom you've gained up until this point in time and likely have some fascinating revelations that will lead you to a higher place, spiritually, than you've been before.

It's important, then, to spend some time meditating right now, as you'll need that quiet stillness in yourself in order to really get in touch with your core beliefs and couple them with the spiritual cues that you've been receiving. The Hermit, more than some other cards, shows spiritual enlightenment and understanding.

Others might turn to you for spiritual guidance as well. When the Hermit comes up in a reading, it can mean that you will be a spiritual teacher - a light for others to follow. If you've been called to teach others about spirituality, this is an excellent sign that you'll do well.

Enlightened or in the process of enlightenment, the Hermit is a card that points to inner wisdom and solitude.
