The Hermit
Solitude, search, inner light
What it means
Stepping back on purpose. The Hermit is not hiding; it is going somewhere quiet because the answer will not arrive in a crowd.
Today: Take the evening off from other people.

Where it sits
The Hermit is card IX of the twenty-two Major Arcana, the sequence that runs from The Fool at zero to The World at twenty-one. The majors are read as the larger movements rather than the day-to-day detail.
A prompt, not a prediction. The card meaning
below is the same for everyone who opens this page; it is not personalised and
it is not a reading of your situation. Tarot is a useful way to look at
something sideways. It is not information about the future and nothing here is
advice about your health, your money or any decision that matters.
