Tarot Weekly Message: The Hermit

A grounded look at The Hermit tarot card pulled for the now energy, in both upright and reversed positions, for all our subscribers, with deeper meanings and how to use it in our paid community.

Tarot Weekly Message discusses the real meaning behind the tarot card, the Hermit. There are many in the deck that are there to walk through various stages, and this card is one of them. It is a very positive card when it pertains to moving into solitude, where profound introspection and self-identification return.

The inner wisdom coming through this card is about disconnecting from everything so you can create and live a life you love, but it can also represent obstacles if read in reverse. Follow our guidance and, in closing, pull one card from your deck to confirm if this is your message.

The Hermit was delivered today for you to gain information and share messages with those ready to hear it. It pertains to understanding inner truth and authentic self when making all decisions that are in your best interest.

However, the higher insight is a direct depth based on how much of the Shadow Work has been completed.

As with its fellow major arcana cards, the Hermit’s energy of this card never forces anything. It understands there is no need to push, but rather to allow the energetic flow to support growth.

A stranger to nothing, as the soul has experienced abundance and knows you will be obtaining it when you are ready to move forward.

Upright Meaning

The Hermit is a positive card to pull when it comes to feeling and knowing what you can achieve. It represents introspection, solitude, and inner guidance. Not isolation, but “intentional space.”

Deep reflection and personal truth give self-guidance with confidence. It is also viewed as a period where the pause brings a form of awareness.

This card often appears when the answers are already within, and now, through the separation, it reveals in a number of different ways.
Silence matters here.

Reversed Meaning

In reverse, the Hermit reveals an imbalance in solitude and connection. It can be hidden in the mind, body, or soul, waiting to be heard. The receiver of the Hermit may be using it to withdraw or avoid others.

They will most likely be:

Withdrawing too much or avoiding others
Feeling lost, disconnected, or uncertain
Ignoring inner guidance
Seeking answers externally without trusting yourself

The low frequency of fear of being alone can overshadow the positive aspects and leave someone sliding into further negativity.

Hermit as a signal

It signals internally how you are relating to your own inner voice.
Will reflect the numbers of your Askash records for additional confirmation.

Feel free to book a session with Lori Ann to find and clear blockages or a guided session to move through your shadow work to completion.
