The Hermit

Affirmation: In stillness, I find my answers.

Upright Meaning

The Hermit invites you to step back and look inward for answers. A little solitude and honest reflection will bring the clarity you are looking for. Give yourself some quiet space, because your own wisdom is the light to follow.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, the Hermit can mean too much isolation or avoiding the world. Time alone is healthy, but hiding away is not. Find a balance between reflection and reconnecting with others.
