The Hermit

General:

You may be in the frame of mind that you need some time alone – don’t be afraid to take it. Even if it’s just a five-minute walk around the house so that you can clear your head. This is also very much a card about “trying very hard to do the right thing.” Just make sure that “doing the right thing” includes doing what is right for you personally, and not just worrying about the wants and needs of others.

Work:

Any success you’re seeing now is due to your personal hard work and effort towards your goals. So, if you find yourself not succeeding as planned, question where your time is being spent. Are others taking the credit for your hard work? Now is the time to take back what is rightfully yours. This may include stepping away from your current job.

Love:

It seems that romance is not your current priority. If you’re single and all you want right now is a relationship, pay attention to your behaviour as it may not be aligning with your desires. In a committed relationship, you might have been moving in different directions for a while now. Make sure to make the time and effort to stay connected to keep the spark alive.

Finances:

Don’t neglect buying the essentials, especially since you have the money to right now. Saving for a rainy day can wait if there are things that are needed.

Health:

Rituals of any sort will be helpful to you. This could even be a hobby like reading, exercise, or a good sleep schedule as long as it’s something that can be done alone. Any health problems could be drawing your attention to a problem that is not in your body so much as in your life; for example, a bad back could indicate that you are “carrying too much” metaphorically speaking. So, take care of yourself.

Spirituality:

You can still learn spiritually a without have a mentor or teacher. Honour the need to take a solo path for a short while – it won’t last forever. You will soon be feeling much more social, so don’t push yourself now to be around a lot of people unless it is absolutely necessary. You will likely emerge from this cocoon feeling refreshed and renewed, particularly on a spiritual level. If you’re not sure what to do with your time, try meditating.
