The Hermit
«Find out who you are and be that person...Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.» – Ellen DeGeneres
As a Person's Characteristic
The Hermit symbolizes an introverted person who prefers solitude and a calm rhythm of life; the archetype is the Wise Old Man. This person is smart and wise, understands himself perfectly through devoted time to self-discovering and building his value system. Most likely works in solitude, not a team player. Relationships with such a person can be hard for more extroverted people, but if he decided to connect his life with you, he will be faithful till the end.
Health
Unfortunately, The Hermit Tarot card is unfavorable in health readings; can mean a temporary deterioration in health, forced isolation due to illness, sick leave, lockdown. The Major Arcana calls on us to realize what is happening in our souls; engage in self-discovering, and strength and health will surely return.
Relationships
Love readings for singles. The Hermit informs you that your love life will not change anytime soon; you need to be alone now to reflect. Analysis of an existing relationship. Two options: a strong union of two introverted sages, or more commonly, cold, loneliness, and detachment, possibly ghosting or long-distance. For long-standing couples, can predict separation or isolation like maternity leave, with a feeling of loneliness even together.
Work, Career & Business
The Hermit is a symbol of the exit from the active phase. If unemployed, devote time to yourself rather than job searching. If employed, may have vacation, business trip, or refresher courses, or consider resigning/retiring. Advises entrepreneurs to quit operating activities and view the business from a helicopter's view.
Financial Issues
The Hermit Major Arcana is a symbol of a certain austerity; won't shower you with money. Better not to conclude business deals or make big purchases during this period; better to look inside yourself. You will have a stable, albeit small, income.
Travel
The Hermit always speaks of some distance and rest; traveling under his auspices is a great idea, especially a quiet ride alone – great for pilgrimages, hiking, relaxing camping, and understanding yourself better.
