The Hermit

Every Tarot deck has its own images and symbolism which must then be filtered through the psyche of the reader and the context of the question. However for the benefit of beginners, below are some possible interpretations and meanings of The Hermit as a starting point for your own personal exploration of the Tarot.

Reading The Card

The Hermit is a lone figure, walking through the darkness carrying the light. The light can be a great burden but is also a great gift.

The Hermit is a quiet, contemplative card. While others rush around and shout, he sits quietly alone and thinks. He goes deep within to reach wisdom.

The Hermit is a careful planner, never rushing into anything. Yet when he does act he does so all the more effectively, applying the results of his contemplation to overcome previously insurmountable obstacles. He knows the outcome of the game before making the first move.

If well aspected in a Tarot reading, this card can indicate contemplation leading to new wisdom and inner strength. It can also indicate obtaining wise counsel from such a person.

If badly aspected this card can indicate excessive isolation and withdrawl, refusal to cooperate or be involved with others.

If you can see no way out then look inwards.
