The Hermit card meaning

The Hermit is on top of a mountain. The snow symbolizes spiritual growth and mysticism. He had chosen a solitary journey to open himself and he achieved it. His right-hand holds a lantern with a six-pointed star inside, the Seal of Solomon, a symbol of wisdom. However, the lamp covers only a few of the following steps of the Hermit. The man keeps going as he realizes that not everything can be revealed at once. A long stick, a sign of his authority, in his left hand, the side of the subconscious mind, helps to keep balance.

Reversed card

When all the answers to the questions are found, the partner will definitely return.

If the person is the one who spends a lot of time thinking, he should not forget about the needs of others. A journey of soul-searching should not destroy love. If the individual really values his lover’s feelings, he should return to the couple at least sometimes.

Sometimes the reversed Hermit means unbalanced efforts. One partner invests in relationships more than another. Also, the card may indicate that both are not trying for the sake of a common future. They selfishly work on individual projects. This will lead to parting in the end.

For singles, the Hermit means a long period of loneliness. The person is tired of this and thinks that he missed the opportunity to meet a decent partner. Fortunately, this period will end soon.
