Hermit - IX Senior Arkan

Astrologically, the Hermit corresponds to the planet Saturn in Aquarius, which symbolizes the desire to gain independence and wisdom.

This Arcanum bears several names: Hermit, Seeker, Sage, Prophet of Eternity.

Description of the Arcana

The Arcanum depicts an old man whitened with gray hair. He is dressed in a cloak that covers his head and completely envelops the entire body of the elder. His gaze is focused, but he is more directed not towards the path itself, but, as it were, inward. This is an old man who is wise by experience and has comprehended the truth, who has realized his place in life. He deliberately cut himself off from society and decided to follow his own path alone.

In many decks, the Hermit's path runs through the sandy desert, symbolizing his renunciation of society. In the Tarot of the Age of Aquarius, the sage walks through rocky mountains, making his way through them. Here the symbolism is somewhat deeper, since the mountains are obstacles that the elder does not seem to notice. They do not block his path, he easily leaves the mountains behind him.

In some decks, the old man walks with his head bowed, but he did not bow it to watch the road. He bowed her down so as not to notice unnecessary details on his way. In the Tarot of the Age of Aquarius, the old man's head is held high. He is able to look ahead without leaving his inner contemplation.

The elder holds a lantern in his hands, emitting light and illuminating his path. The lantern is lit even on a sunny day, for this lantern is supported by the fire of Universal knowledge, the fire of truth. The lantern burns continuously, despite the sun behind the old man's back, for it is a special lantern, fueled by life experience and a wealth of knowledge.

The old man leans on a sturdy staff with one hand. It is a tool to help you follow him along the path. The staff is as strong as the elder is strong in his experience, for the staff symbolizes all the life practices of the Hermit. Only by illuminating his soul with the inner light of truth, he will be able to illuminate the people around him.

In some decks, seven knots can be seen on the staff, which symbolize the chakra centers of a person, seven bodies. This reminds of the deep connection between the two worlds - the lower and the Higher. This connection is realized only by the person himself through conscious solitude and appeal to his inner world.

The old man follows the path alone and in complete silence. His face is serene, he is comfortable alone with himself, because he is looking for the path to God, and this path must be taken in solitude and contemplation. He seeks God not in the external world, but within himself, turning to his wisdom and to his inner self.

The sacred meaning of the Arkan the Hermit

The deep meaning of the Arcanum is determined by its central figure - the elder, who has collected in himself all the wisdom that a person receives during the passage of his earthly Path. This image contains the characteristics of a successful Disciple, Master, Mentor, Monk who touched the Truth, a Sage who was able to comprehend knowledge and come to harmony of self.

He left society, having received his lessons from him, he moves along his Path in solitude, which brings him satisfaction. This is a natural state of a person who has learned to draw knowledge from everywhere. The hermit is fed up with society, and he needs peace. But this peace is in no way similar to the state of rest and tranquility. He moves forward, leaning on his staff and illuminating his path with a small, but very bright lantern for him.

On the Arcana there is no image of the road along which the Hermit moves. This is a very important symbol that reveals the deep meaning of the Arkan: the sage does not need the beaten path that others have already paved - this is someone else's experience, and no matter how good it is, he will always remain a stranger.

The hermit makes his own way, exploring the path hidden from him with his staff. Each of his steps, each strike of his staff on the ground is a new experience in the treasury of his wisdom. He walks with his head down, but he does not choose a direction, he is guided by inner wisdom and the light that is bestowed on him from above for refusing social benefits in the name of self-improvement.

The hermit is wrapped in a sturdy cloak, which serves as a reliable cover while moving. This cloak symbolizes asceticism - the rejection of earthly pleasures and stay in simplicity, which fully satisfies all his needs. He has already gone through the path of excesses, and his experience has led to the fact that one can be content with little for the sake of gaining great - knowledge.

The cloak not only protects from all weather conditions, but it also separates the sage from the outside world. He helps him to concentrate in himself, hiding from other people's statements and opinions, false values ​​and beliefs, prejudices. He must listen to himself and comprehend.

The sage carries a lamp in front of him, with the help of which he illuminates his path. It carries several concepts. The main concept is the light of knowledge, it does not go out, but only flares up with the acquisition of experience. The longer the Hermit's path, the brighter light his lamps.

At the beginning of his Path, this lamp had a meager glow, there was enough oil in it, but this oil did not flare up immediately. Oil is a symbol of human consciousness, the ability to think and comprehend. Fire is the divine principle, which is hidden in the truth. Its gradual comprehension gives the brightness of the fire of the lamp. Kindling the darkness of ignorance, truth brings light. After gaining experience, the hermit acquired the ability to kindle light in the darkness.

The hermit walks along the path, leaning on his staff - his life experience. This staff connects him with the material world, from which the Hermit draws experience. This is a symbol of realism. Only by touching the existing reality with the staff can the Hermit continue to march along his Path. He abandoned society, but did not abandon the material world.

It is important to note that the Arcanum Hermit can be depicted either in a rocky desert or in a sandy one. She says that this person is detached and does not experience the emotions that the world around him usually causes. He is internally focused.

Hermit Mythological Match

Vivid and indicative for understanding Arcanum is the legend of Diogenes, who deliberately left society, limiting himself to a barrel. He preferred asceticism, based on Nature itself, proving to all mankind that wisdom can be obtained without society, it is enough to turn inward.

Diogenes ran away from society, but this flight was not from people, not from the surrounding reality. This flight was from the authorities imposing their understanding of the truth on him. He preferred to be left alone with his inner nature, preferring to walk the path to Truth on his own.

The meaning of the direct Hermit in the layout

Most often, in the hands of the Hermit means an elderly person, go to a person wise by experience, to whom Arkan recommends contacting for advice. It can be both a man and a woman. Nearby maps will help determine the identity itself. You shouldn't refuse this help.

In some cases, in layouts, this Arkan warns a person that a period of forced loneliness awaits him, which should be used for self-improvement. A person will close from external influences and find peace. This period will not bring him discomfort, and loneliness will even be pleasant to him. This is the moment when a person wants to be alone, and this opportunity falls to him.

The lasso can be a warning to observe some secrecy and caution in dealing with people. A person needs time to collect his thoughts and put them in order, for these thoughts may not be shared by those around him, and with their opinions they can lead a person astray. This time should be used to reevaluate your connections, circle of acquaintances and friends, to develop new rules for relationships.

A hermit may say that a person is entering a period when he needs to think about spiritual things. Very often at this time appears next to a wise man who takes on the role of a mentor or guide spiritual path... The hermit can also denote the appearance of a mentor or teacher in worldly affairs.

Arkan advises to turn to your discernment and listen more to your intuition. It is personal experience that is very important here, which can help in solving any issue.

The hermit indicates that a person is experiencing restrictions in the financial sphere, but he will try to figure out what is happening, which will allow him to find a way out quite easily. In no case should you be discouraged, you just need to carefully assess the situation, you may even contact a specialist.

The meaning of the inverted Hermit in the layout

The Inverted Hermit speaks of loneliness, but this loneliness is painful for a person, both circumstances and people push him towards. A person strives to renounce loneliness, but he does not succeed, which leads him to despondency, giving way to emotional outbursts.

Sometimes this card can indicate that a person himself is personally closed from society, turning himself into a victim in order to cause pity. Thus, he tries to draw attention to himself, most often close people. He, ultimately, manages to attract the attention of a person who will lead him out of difficult circumstances. This, in effect, flips the Arcanum.

The hermit falls in the scenario to people who agreed to voluntary seclusion, but made a kind of ritual out of this, turning their inner seclusion into an ideal state for themselves. During this period, those around them cannot "reach out" to the person, but he persists in his seclusion.

This Arkan can talk about the illusion of ideals, which occurred due to the lack of external information. A person's problems arise due to an incorrect and shallow assessment of the situation, a reluctance to understand the true reasons.

As in the upright position, the inverted Hermit speaks of limitations in finances, but in this case the person is not able to cope with the situation due to his limited views and not doing even a wise advisor in his life. He is left alone with his problem and revels in his unhappy position.

Self-development direction

For self-development, this Arkan predicts a very difficult period of self-assessment and revision of all life ideals. This period will only be effective if the person manages to remain alone. A person must detach himself from the external world and withdraw into himself.

The hermit says that a person has to use his own experience, turn it into knowledge. It is very important to note that you will have to learn only from your own mistakes, since other people's mistakes will always remain someone else's experience. It is important here not to follow someone's opinion, but to listen to your inner self.

Self-development under the influence of the Hermit is very pronounced in a person who is fussy and sociable by nature. He has to completely change the way of his life in order to correctly go through this stage of self-development. He is forced to face greater restrictions than a naturally calm and reasonable person, who tends to be more alone.

Very often, such people perceive this period as punishment or even as an insult due to the forced limitation of the circle of friends. In this case, a person needs to accept the situation and take advantage of his loneliness, otherwise, instead of self-development, he will cherish his resentment, turning the straight Arcanum into an inverted one.

For a believer, this card can mean the need for restrictions in everything, for example, adherence to a strict fast. During this period, you need to devote more time to your spirituality and strengthening your faith.

The goal of self-improvement under the influence of the Hermit is to find peace in any situation, curb emotions, the ability to correctly accept limitations and deprivations, the ability to accumulate life experience. A person must learn secrecy, but not isolation. This is the period when a person is required to skillfully combine deep experiences with knowledge of himself and the world as a whole. Cognition precisely through deep inner experiences, because only in this way can he find the way to his spirituality.

A person has to take the path of comprehending the primordial wisdom of the world order, he must understand the logic of reason. In fact, a person during this period gains the experience of controlling his consciousness, learns the sequence and regularity of everything that happens in the material world with him and not only with him. This is the period of gaining wisdom, the period of entering another, deeper stage of one's life.

The Inverted Hermit says that his emotional condition in the recent past, it was subjected to stress and at the moment a person is in voluntary confinement. This confinement has a very detrimental effect on him, since it does not in the least contribute to his development, but only cultivates fears and resentments.

Self-improvement under the influence of an inverted Hermit should be aimed at returning the Arcanum to a direct position and following further along the path of self-development. In order for this to happen, a person must stop reveling in his loneliness and find any opportunity to attract a wise person into his life. He can become a mentor for him on the path of self-improvement. With an inverted card, you cannot follow the chosen path, for it is incorrect.

If a straight card indicates asceticism, then an inverted card speaks of excesses that can adversely affect a person's development. In this case, Arkan requires a person to change their lifestyle by creating a number of restrictions. Moreover, a person must do this on his own, because the System will lead him to this decision through pain, troubles and forced restrictions.

Work

In relation to work, Arkan illuminates two areas. First, the Hermit always talks about financial constraints. In this situation, a person needs to rely only on his own strength. This is evidenced by both the direct and the inverted Arcanum.

In the direct position of the Arkan, a person is given time to rethink the situation, which makes it possible to turn it around. You can find some additional sources of income, you can reorient your business, open up new directions. You can change jobs or start your own business. These actions are always based on thorough debriefing, correcting mistakes and using experience.

The main thing in such a situation is the secrecy of all plans and ideas. A person must come to a decision on his own and he can voice it only when it is time to act. This card can also fall out if a person has a presentiment of secrecy in the people with whom he will have to work, or in hiding part of the information. Arkan recommends abandoning such cooperation, canceling a dubious deal, breaking off business relations with a dishonest person.

The second aspect of the Hermit says that a person may appear in life who will take on the role of a mentor, and he will not teach the basics, but simply introduce into the circle the right people, will attract the necessary events to life, share the subtleties obtained in the process of his own successful business.

An inverted Arcanum in the position of work will indicate financial difficulties and limitations, but in this case, a person will face a vain “sprinkling ashes on his head”, self-deprecation, sliding into even greater poverty due to erroneous plans to get out of the situation. For example, he can take additional credit, putting himself in even greater debts, he can buy outdated equipment, which will be very expensive to maintain. He may simply be deceived in the calculations due to the careless choice of partners.

A person may have a prolonged period of financial difficulties due to the fact that he will tell about his plans ahead of time. In this case, ill-wishers or competitors can "steal" his idea or "put a spoke in the wheel" so that his plans could not come true.

With an inverted Hermit, a person has a reluctance to make compromises with his business partners, he becomes extremely suspicious of the actions of his partners, trying to find hidden motives in their actions. This makes him hardened and even more closed in himself, fixated on the negativity of the situation.

To get out of the situation, you need to attract a wise person into your life, and there is such an opportunity. Everything is complicated by the fact that a person is simply not able to let someone into his business, feeling distrust and a desire to do everything himself. Having crossed at this moment through his negative fabrications, a person is able to first turn over the Arcanum, and then, relying on his wisdom, find the right way out of the current state.

It must be said that rethinking with an inverted Hermit even speeds up the exit period.

Personal relationships

In personal relationships, this Arcanum can show several aspects. First of all, the Hermit will indicate loneliness. For an already lonely person, the card does not promise new meetings, but the period of loneliness itself is given for rethinking your worldview associated with relationships. Such a period will end exactly when a person realizes that loneliness was given to him for some reason and stops forcibly breaking the situation. New person will find it himself.

For people in union, the Hermit indicates that both partners are "alone together." They are completely strangers, they have learned to do without each other, they only live in one room, while each is immersed in himself. Such a relationship does not weigh them down, they give them a certain freedom, and the couple appreciates it, not wanting to lose. It is this freedom that makes their union strong.

A hermit can show a lonely person, but not striving for a new relationship. He had already gained experience in union, and at the moment it was time for him to enjoy his loneliness. When this Arkan falls on a possible partner, he says that it will be very difficult to build a relationship with such a person. If a love relationship is somehow possible, then marriage is out of the question.

If the card is laid out on marriage, then Arkan says that the union is already very long, and love has been replaced by a phase of mutual respect. It is possible that in order to preserve this union, people had to sacrifice something very important, which gives an imprint on their entire life together. If this is a young union, then Arkan will say that people together will be very long time, even despite the nature of the relationship.

The Inverted Hermit, like the Straight Hermit, has several aspects. If we consider a lonely person, then we can say that his loneliness is long time... But if in the upright position of the Arkan a person has the opportunity to realize the reasons and try to change them, then in the inverted position he is overwhelmed by emotions and resentments. He will not be able to get out of this situation on his own.

Some wise person - a friend or even a psychologist - can help him find a way out. Neighboring cards can show if there is such a person at the moment. In fact, in this position of the Hermit, there can be no talk of marriage, since in order to find a partner for oneself, it is necessary to radically change the attitude towards oneself, first of all, and towards others.

If the inverted Arcanum falls on a union, then he says that the union will most likely be terminated due to a complete unwillingness to understand and hear each other. In such an alliance, egoism is very often traced on the verge of egocentrism in one or two partners at once. Such partners are focused only on themselves and are locked exclusively in their own interests.

If next to the inverted Hermit lie next to the cards of deception - V inverted (Pope, Hierophant), XV straight (Devil) or XVII in any position (Moon) - this indicates the presence in this union of hidden negative aspects associated with perversions - sadism, sexual depravity , masochism.

Personality characteristic

The personality characterized by the Hermit stands out from his surroundings. Despite the fact that this person is very wise, reasonable, has a serious baggage of knowledge and logical thinking, he is most often closed and does not strive for social communication.

Very often, the moment of transition of a personality to the IX Arcanum is accompanied by the bewilderment of others regarding his behavior. A sociable and very "social" person, completely unexpectedly for those around him, becomes an introvert, closed on himself and his experiences. He moves further away from society, tries to spend more and more time alone, avoids communication even with those with whom he preferred to communicate most often.

For the person himself, this period is very serious: he reflects on the events taking place in his life, trying to turn everything into life experience.

The character traits inherent in the Hermit man are prudence, the ability to manage their emotions. Such a person has the ability to influence other people, but he will never impose his advice, and will express his point of view only when they turn to him for this. He does not try to forcibly change a person, but only provides assistance to those who wish.

In the character of a person under the influence of the Hermit, there appears a tendency to philosophizing and globality of thinking. He begins to listen to the little things, seeing them as important. He thinks more about his spirituality, overshadowing material benefits.

Inverted Arcanum says that a person falls out of society, but, as a rule, he chooses such a line of behavior in order to blackmail the people he needs. These people are trying to pull him out of the cocoon he created, and at such moments he begins to bargain for himself some kind of benefit.

An inverted hermit leaves a negative imprint on a person's character. The person becomes hostile to others, seems spiritless and completely short-sighted, shameless and depraved. According to this Arcanum, there may be a person who lives in an illusory world filled with some kind of false ideals and goals.

Excessive precaution or pathological secrecy is inherent in such a person. Such people are prone to various manifestations of paranoia. These qualities also affect behavioral characteristics. He torments people with his mistrust and can persecute a person whom he suspects of a negative attitude towards himself. The result is always complete loneliness, up to the forced seclusion.

Very often, a person under the influence of an inverted Hermit feels sorry for himself, finding the whole world around him hostile and unfair. He believes that no one loves him and everyone is trying to hurt him. He is very suspicious, painfully perceives any word addressed to him, and this separates him even more from people.

Health

When viewing a person's health with the help of the Tarot Arcana, you need to clearly determine the depth and importance of the question, since the chosen alignment will depend on this. If the question is superficial from the category "healthy / not healthy", then you can get an answer from one Major Arcana in a direct or inverted form. This is a view of the general condition of the body.

If you are interested in the processes occurring in the body, then you should lay out two Arcana, the first of which will show a certain organ, and the second will indicate its functioning.

If the issue of human health is extremely important, then it is necessary to resort to the most complete and expanded alignment of the chakra system. This alignment is done very focused, the question is asked for each chakra and the tuning goes to the chakra to which the Arkan is pulled. Fortune-telling is done only by the Major Arcana, but the whole deck can also participate when it is necessary to clarify the answers.

General state

When looking at the general health status, the Hermit reveals the presence of chronic diseases. In the upright position, Arkan indicates that the person's chronic diseases are in an inactive stage, he feels pretty good, but the threat of exacerbation is always present. This is an indicator only for young people on whom the alignment is being done.

To an elderly person, a direct Hermit will show that all processes in his body are proceeding normally according to his age.

In the inverted position, the Hermit indicates exacerbations of chronic diseases. In rare cases, when an exacerbation is asymptomatic and looks like a general malaise, you can decipher the Arkan in order to understand what kind of disease we are talking about.

Processes in progress

When the Hermit falls into two Arcana in the first position, then in the upright position one can speak of the natural aging processes of organs and the body as a whole. The Inverted Arcanum gives the same information.

The second position of the Hermit will show the presence of a chronic disease associated with the organ, which Arkan will talk about in the first position. A straight card will indicate a decay stage, and an inverted one - an exacerbation stage.

Chakra diagnostics

A hermit who has fallen on a certain chakra suggests that the organs that refer to it are susceptible to chronic diseases... The direct map indicates that the disease is currently not manifesting and is in remission. Inverted Arcanum says that the disease is undergoing an exacerbation stage.

Separately, it should be said about the Hermit who fell on Muladhara. In this position, the card will show that the body has lost its energy, is in the stage of severe physical fatigue, it immediately needs rest, otherwise, the body is waiting for the acceleration of aging processes. This is shown by both a straight and an inverted card, but an inverted one indicates the criticality of the situation.

Alignment for the situation

In the hands of the situation, the Hermit recommends contacting knowledgeable person, since you will most likely not be able to find a way out of the situation on your own. This can be either a wise friend or a specialist in the relevant field.

If next to the Hermit there are "heavy" cards of the Minor Arcana, then the alignment gives a direct instruction to exercise caution and prudence in this situation, and the Knight of Swords warns of a serious threat. At neighboring maps depicting people, a person must be secretive.

Very often, the Hermit adjacent to the Wheel of Fortune reports that the situation is dragging on for a very long period. A way out of such a suspended state can be found only by learning to accept calmly everything that happens. In which direction to look for help, the whole alignment will tell you.

If the situation is dependent on money, Arkan says that the financial situation is too limited to fully address the situation. The Arcana lying next to it will help to find a way out of it. They will tell you which direction to look in.

At the everyday level, the map shows restrictions, and, as a rule, this restriction in everything is not a large number of money, the inability to get a job or purchase the necessary thing. Arkan can show a lack of friends, good company, the impossibility of travel and meetings, poor health, physical and psychological fatigue.

A person comes to the need for rational planning, a serious revision of his lifestyle, and going into loneliness. He will try to solve his problems on his own, constantly facing increasing restrictions.

An inverted card indicates that a person has a chance to make a difference by taking wise advice from a literate person. But the problem is that a person will either turn to a rather superficial person for advice and receive advice that is not very suitable for the situation, or he will misuse wise advice. In any case, the assistant must be looked for very carefully and learn to see superficial judgments or ulterior motives in a person's advice.

In the case of the inverted Hermit, the neighborhood with the "heavy" Arcana will show everything the same as in the case of the direct one, but the situation is aggravated by the emotional state of the person. He, driven by resentment and discontent, will neglect the advice he needs, sometimes even because of demonstrative contradictions.

At the household level, a number of losses await a person. It can be monetary losses, parting with friends, up to fatal quarrels that lead a person to complete loneliness... This Arcanum will also show a car accident with significant damage and the need for high repair costs, especially if the XVI Arkan (Tower) falls out in the alignment.

Card of the day

As a card of the day, the Hermit recommends staying at home and not going anywhere. He advises to spend this day rethinking your plans, relationships, reactions to people, behaviors, analyzing situations that recent times give him anxiety.

The lasso gives a direct indication of the need for solitude, because on this day it is extremely important that no outsider should influence the opinion. Life requires that you begin to be aware of what is happening and learn to figure everything out on your own.

It is important to understand that the internal audit carried out on this day will determine the position of the next Arcana - the Wheel of Fortune. It will depend on this day whether the Wheel will lift a person up, or he will find himself at a point moving along a falling one.

The inverted Hermit on the card of the day shows, no matter how stubborn a person is, he will still be alone that day. The reason for this loneliness will be his own behavior, which will be negatively evaluated by others.

Generally speaking, the inverted Arcanum also advises to stay at home whenever possible. It is better to go on conscious loneliness for one day than to face forced loneliness for a while. On this day, a person's emotional background is too high, he is easily excitable, which can lead to destructive incontinence, which has very painful consequences.

Card of the year

The Direct Hermit on the card of the year says that by now a person has already thoroughly figured out himself and he is entering a period of balanced actions according to a new plan. Quite often, during this period, a person turns away from his familiar society, deliberately remaining alone. But society also ceases to accept such a person, not sharing his new views or not understanding his new image.

A person should not worry about the upcoming changes. He needs them. During the year, new friends and business partners may appear who will bring a lot of positive things to life. A person should perceive the old society as complete life cycle, which gave him invaluable experience.

The inverted Hermit on the year card indicates that the year will be marked by losses. These losses will, rather, not be in the physical plane, which is more characterized by the XIII and XVI Arcana (Death and the Tower), but in the spiritual. We can say that a person is entering a period of spiritual degradation.

Such a person must definitely pay attention to his emotional state. He must realize that because of emotions he is constantly marking time. During this period, there is a danger for the student to be expelled or the employee to be fired. This situation can be prevented if a person manages to "turn" the Arcana - to moderate emotions and find compromises.

Arcana Council

The hermit advises to take advantage of the coming time in order to concentrate on the inner I, for which you need to give up your material interests. A person needs to conduct an "audit" of his soul, to figure out what irritates and causes negative emotions, learn to manage them.

Arkan indicates the need to search for your place in life, spiritual growth and self-improvement, and he suggests doing this alone, so that external circumstances do not affect the analysis of your own experience. You need to graciously perceive the period of loneliness, even if at first glance it seems forced.

You should not be afraid of the Hermit, since this Arcanum is a turning point in life - after it comes the Wheel of Fortune. If a person draws the right conclusions and takes the path of self-improvement, then the Wheel of Fortune will lift him up.

What the Hermit card itself will tell you about

The common meaning of a strong Hermit card in general and special layouts for the near future:

• rethinking what is happening;
• a radical change in priorities and outlook on life;
• search for the true path;
• harmony with nature and the surrounding world;
• solitude, humble lifestyle;
• loneliness;
• excessive pride.

From birth to death - a person is surrounded by other people, nature, signs of the universe. It will not be possible to completely get away from the universe, but everyone who is tired of the course of their usual life needs to take a temporary pause. Ahead of the questioner, changes await, and he is not mentally ready for all of them. The future that a person expects is being built at the moment.

Personal growth takes place only after achieving peace of mind

The foundation for future successes is laid in today's thoughts. Personal growth is accomplished only through the acquired peace of mind. The main truth predicted by the Hermit card is advice and recommendations that can be the right choice.

In relationships with others, it is important to value solitude, deserved freedom.

Love cannot be associated with imprisonment or attachment. 9 lasso Tarot - the Hermit, signals the inherent problems in relationships in the family or in personal life. Sometimes, a person needs peace and quiet.

This does not mean at all that he is bad with his lover or family. For clarity of thinking, detachment is the main condition. After a careful analysis of what is happening, the questioner will return to the family, only spiritually renewed, happy and balanced.

Inverted Hermit card in future layouts

Arkan Tarot the Hermit indicates the secrecy and tightness of the questioner. A predominantly negative card in an inverted position promises challenges, both external and internal. Negative changes that scare the questioner will lead to humility.

Understanding the deep essence of each person from the close environment will allow you to get rid of disappointments and resentments. Letting go of the ideals that get in the way of mature relationships will lead to ease of communication. No one is obliged to correspond to the ideas of other people - says the Hermit card in the layout for the future.

An inverted card as evidence of self-deception

An inverted lasso indicates fantasy prevailing over common sense. Self-deception is a useful shell in which to hide at any moment. Fears and complexes push a person to decisions that are unacceptable to him, to a job that he doesn’t like, to a relationship that does not suit the questioner in any way.

The desire to find approval, even from those people with whom communication does not bring any pleasure, is detrimental to the soul of the questioner. The inverted position of the Hermit warns of excessive yielding to other people's opinions, and negative influence.

In the scenario for the near future, the person who has drawn the Hermit card should not be afraid of the inevitable difficulties. Along with the adversity of fate, helpers will be sent. An old acquaintance with whom the connection has been lost or a relative who was not appreciated earlier can act as a companion. All that is required of the questioner is to humbly accept the events that are taking place and analyze the moments from which a valuable lesson can be learned.

Forecast for the financial sector

The Hermit card is a universal sign that is interpreted only after a long study of the whole alignment. The value of the card depends on the location of the image of a detached man with a staff, on the neighboring major and minor arcana. Any area of ​​human life can be predicted by a set of just a few magical signs. Tarot cards answer questions of concern to a person, such as personal life or prospects for a job.

The hermit prophesies change

The hermit in the Tarot Tota, as well as the similar Tarot symbol of Ryder Waite, indicates imminent changes in the professional field:

A hermit in a situation in the financial sphere can predict an imminent conflict with a colleague

• focus on achieving a global, ambitious goal;
• the desire to move away from a tight schedule;
• unwillingness to follow the charter or rules;
• conflicts with colleagues;
• grandiose research on an exciting topic for the questioner;
• opportunities for spiritual development;
• accumulation of knowledge;
• insignificant profit.

What is good for one person is unacceptable for another. For free creative personalities the Hermit auspicious sign, which promises earnings with minimal restrictions on freedom of action.

But businessmen will not like such a symbol, because a person aimed at making a profit will not want to be content with little. The value of a powerful card does not really matter, because inside the person has already made the right decision.

Personal life and the hermit card prediction

What does the ninth lasso mean for lovers or singles? When paired, understanding and acceptance are two fundamental truths that do not exist separately. The loneliness that the questioner feels haunts him both in solitude and in a couple.

Often people are prototypes of the Hermit, wandering in other worlds and universes. Their consciousness is far from human, from the constancy and habits inherent in others. A love relationship presupposes trust that the questioner cannot boast of. By letting others in only half way, such a person will remain lonely, regardless of who is nearby.

For mature couples who have lived together for a long time, the Hermit in the Tarot, whose meaning implies a new way of looking at things, promises to strengthen the old connection. Youthful passions will subside, and they will be replaced by warm relationships based on respect and trust. Tolerance, which was not previously shown by spouses or lovers, will become fundamental in a couple. The Hermit symbol in the layout of personal life precedes the renewal of a long union.

The combination of cards of the tarot deck

The hermit, in combination with other Tarot cards, allows you to see what is unknown and inaccessible to the common man. The magician, making layouts for the future, collects the particles of the future, like a puzzle or a puzzle. The alliances of two or more powerful cards make up a whole picture of upcoming events:

1. The magician and the 9th major lasso. The desire to be like everything around leads the questioner to concealment of inner potential and talents. This defensive stance leads to depression and loss of interest in life.
2. The combination of cards Jester and Hermit. The search for oneself, for one's own destiny - is marked in the alignment by the tandem of two senior arcana with a purely masculine energy. Sooner or later, such torment will lead to the desired result.
3. The Hierophant and the Hermit. The teacher, whose wisdom will conquer the mind and heart of the questioner, is personified in the future by the union of the Hierophant and the ninth major arcana of the Tarot deck.

A deck of tarot cards is the best advisor and helper for every person who has lost touch with the universe or with himself. Over the years, the classic collection of magic symbols has changed little. The structure of the deck, the main suits and images swept through the centuries, and still help a person to build the future, with only minor reservations for the present.

Not everyone succeeds in interpreting the cards for personal life or professional achievements.

A magician with experience in making accurate predictions will help the questioner deal with moral problems in the past, enemies in the present, and dangers in the future. Strong cards, such as the Hermit or other symbols of the senior arcana, will indicate significant changes in the mental or physical state that will lay the foundation for future successes.

Tarot Hermit - the meaning of this card is necessary if you use the classic Tarot, Ryder Waite's Tarot and any other decks that are made in the Waite tradition for fortune-telling. This interpretation is also applied in cases where, when creating a unique deck, the author indicated that the classic meaning has not been changed.

In the article:

Tarot the Hermit - meaning

The Hermit Tarot card has several meanings that are opposite to each other. If the purpose of fortune-telling is to reveal the spiritual potential of a person and the paths of his development, then the Hermit card that fell out in the layout is a real treasure.

She says that a person has the opportunity to rethink his whole life, withdraw into himself for a while, make an important decision, dwell on important problems and receive emotional healing. Such work on oneself will help not only to return to the true path, to find harmony with nature.

In addition, in a direct position, the Hermit says that a person is ready to get away from problems and will not suffer from loneliness. In most cases, a person does not allow anyone to approach him, not only because he needs time to be alone and rethink life values but also because of their pride.

In this case, the person is in his own shell, from which he does not want to leave. Often, the Hermit card is identified with a rather adult person, most often with an old man, since it is believed that it is during this period of a person's life that he is able to accumulate sufficient experience in order to rethink his own life and draw the necessary conclusions.

The map focuses on the need for a deep analysis of what is happening. Such a person must have an iron rod in order for him to have the courage to leave small chores, worries, entertainment in order to think about the development of his soul. This is not just a break or rest, it is a real need to prepare yourself to start life from scratch.

The appearance of such a card speaks of a person who is trying to protect himself from negative influences from the outside. It is useless to rush this person or push them towards something. At this stage, the person is really busy rethinking life and defining his position.

The Hermit card says that a person is in search of hidden truth. At this point, you need to find a good leader, teacher and mentor who will help direct the energy in the right direction.

Inverted position

The hermit upside down in the Tarot is a symbol of humility. This suggests that a person, in principle, is ready to do business, to contact others, even if they annoy him. In general, a person is ready to crawl out of his shell and even go to work, communicate with other people.

But deep down, he doesn't care whether to be alone, or to escape into his own fantasy world. Such a person often does not what he wants, he is constantly forced to communicate with relatives who are disgusting to him, to work in a place to which his soul does not lie. At the same time, a person will always try to find a place where he will be appreciated.

It is possible to meet with some distant acquaintance who will help you to perk up. Changes in the sphere of employment are possible. If an alignment was made on the likelihood of reconciliation of people, then the answer is yes, but such a peace will not last long.

Work and finance

The Hermit Tarot card says that a person absolutely does not care how much he earns, but he is focused on some more global goal. Such a person may be a freelancer who does not want to constantly work for one person and is unable to find a common language with colleagues.

Forcing the Hermit to work in a team is useless, since it will really be a trauma for him. He brings great benefits working independently. In order for employment to bring you pleasure, it is worth connecting life with some kind of search, research.

You have the opportunity not only to develop spiritually, but also to get advanced training, to replenish your knowledge base, to hone your skills on your own or under someone's guidance. The card is unfavorable for businessmen, as it is a symbol of a lack of profit and profitable partnerships.

Sometimes the lasso says that a person needs to transfer the acquired knowledge to another or to retire. When it comes to financial and housing status, the Hermit points to a person who is not getting what they deserve. This may indicate a low salary, unappreciated talent. The main task of the card is to make it clear to a person that money is not the most important thing in life.

Hermit Tarot - meaning in relationships

As in most cases with the Hermit, in fortune-telling for a relationship, the card is very twofold. It is possible that she says that a person feels lonely even with someone. Most often, in his subconscious mind, he flies off to another universe, where people do not bother him. If fortune-telling is performed on two specific people (man and woman), the Hermit is a good sign.

If partners have been married for a long time, real feelings open up, people abandon youthful maximalism, egoism, they are ready to do anything to preserve the union. If we are talking about a couple in which one of the partners is much older than the other, then the relationship will be mainly tolerance, the transfer of knowledge from a more experienced person to another.

At the same time, the card speaks of a lack of love, coldness in a relationship, one of the partners is disgusted with the presence of the other. Pay attention to which cards surround the Hermit.

If they are positive, then the lasso speaks of the presence of warmth in a relationship, joint problem solving, harmonious coexistence. Otherwise, the interpretation will be negative, symbolizing fatigue from each other and alienation.

Health status

Far from being the most favorable Tarot card the Hermit in the hands of health. The meaning of this card is loss of strength, lack of energy, extinction of vital functions. The classical meaning speaks of a completely normal natural aging process of the body.

The main interpretation is insomnia, melancholy, depression, hormonal imbalance, joint problems, menopause, gastrointestinal problems intestinal tract... A person has many negative habits that negatively affect health.

But at the same time, the individual tries to support himself physical exercise... When divining a man, an inverted Hermit can talk about problems with the spine.

Possible meanings for divination: “Enlightenment from within, a secret inner impulse, practical plans arising from it. Removal from active participation in current events "(Aleister Crowley" The Book of Thoth ").

Loneliness, alienation, solitude, isolation, alienation. Each of these words has its own connotation, but at the same time they belong to the same archetype, just as madness and genius are so close that they sometimes merge into each other. A madman and a genius are always incomprehensible and alone, the two extreme poles turn out to be equally cold.

The experience of loneliness, isolation (negative) or solitude, being chosen, otherness (positive) equally correspond to the archetype of the ninth lasso - the Hermit or the path of iodine.

Let's look closely at the image - a flash of light coming from the center fills the map with its rays in all directions. A sperm cell is directed from the bottom of the map to its center. In the background, we see an old man in a red robe with his back turned, towards whom small ears of wheat are directed from all sides. In the left half of the card there is a small egg entwined with a snake, which, like the sperm, symbolizes the embryo of a new life. Just above the flash, in the very center of the card, there is a hand holding a lantern, light emanates from it in all directions.

The correspondence to the Hermit, which Crowley insists on, is a sperm, a seed. Let's try to understand what this means in this context. We know that the loneliest people are geniuses, for they carry new ideas, knowledge, worldview. Genius is alien to this world because, like a seed thrown from the world of spirit into the world of matter, it carries within itself the embryo of the future. And, like a seed that fell into the ground (see the lasso Death), he must die, abandoning himself, in order for the seed to germinate - as one magician said, “what's the point if the seeds, falling into the ground, do not die, but remain the same” ... This mood was best expressed by the poet Dmitry Merezhkovsky:

We smell the unknown.

Our speeches are bold,

But doomed to death

Too early forerunners

Too slow in spring.

Try to imagine how painful the loneliness of Leonardo Da Vinci, who was unable to explain even a hundredth part of his knowledge even to his closest students, is painful. What a terrible abyss of loneliness opens up under the feet of everyone who has outstripped his time and carries the future in himself!

That is why the present life also perceives genius as a threat to itself, as a potential murderer, and seeks to render harmless to the point of physical destruction. Socrates, Jan Hus and many poets and philosophers who perished in prisons and concentration camps are a vivid example of this pattern. The stronger the potentiality of the new, the more the present is afraid of this new as its own murderer. A new life is always a revolution against the past life.

The time when the new is in a latent state is the time of the Hermit. The pregnant maiden of the apocalypse, who escaped into the desert from the dragon, Rhea, feeding the baby Zeus, Mary, who went to Egypt, fleeing Herod - these archetypal figures are directly related to the Hermit lasso. The basic correspondence of the lasso is the constellation Virgo. The logic of this correspondence is obvious: virginity, virginity, loneliness, pathogenesis, immaculate conception are an archetypal symbol that exists in all cultures, but is still interpreted extremely primitively. Immaculate conception, in essence, is similar to bhadi yoga: the practitioner is identified with feminine qualities (passivity, receptivity) and conceives from the spiritual sun-phallus the embryo of a new being, an idea, a symbol.

Associated with the Virgo archetype is the idea of ​​hermeticity. Magical tightness - that is, isolation from all influences of the outside world - is a prerequisite for the great work of alchemy. This is how it sounds when translated into psychological language in the work of Carl Gustav Jung: “Take the unconscious in the most appropriate form (say, in the form of spontaneous fantasy, dream, strong emotion) and operate on it. Pay special attention to it, focus on it and objectively monitor the ongoing changes. Dedicate all your strength to the solution of this problem, carefully observe the process of transformation of spontaneous fantasy. Most importantly: do not allow anything from the outside world to get into it, for it already has everything it needs. " (CG Jung "The Mystery of Unification") It is the virgin who is the symbol of energy directed deep into oneself, introspection, solitude and, in general, introversion.

Therefore, the Hermit's cloak can be correlated with a hermetic vessel, a crucible, in which great work takes place.

If in his youth, before the crisis, Jung considered the introversion of libido a neurotic phenomenon, then, having passed the midlife crisis, he completely changed his mind, and by the end of his life in the eyes of those around him he was the archetype of the Hermit - "the wise old man from Xanthus", who retired in independently the tower he built.

In this regard, it is especially interesting to analyze the image of a lamp or in other, more ancient Tarot, candles. The Candlestick Path is a very important individuation archetype, indicating that this person is the Chosen One and participates in the hermit archetype. Please pay attention to Jung's dream, which he says was his "epiphany":

“Then I had an unforgettable dream, which both frightened me and encouraged me. In it I found myself in an unfamiliar place and slowly walked forward in thick fog towards a strong, almost hurricane wind. In my hands I was holding a small light that could go out at any moment. And it all depended on whether I saved his life. Suddenly I felt that someone was following me and, looking back, saw a huge black figure. She followed me on my heels. And at that very moment, in spite of the horror that gripped me, I realized that I had to go and, despite all the dangers, carry in and save my little flame. When I woke up, I realized that this "Broken ghost" was just my own shadow on the cloud, created by the play of the light of that light. I also realized that this flame - the only light that I possessed - was my consciousness, my only treasure. And although fire is small and weak in comparison with the forces of darkness, it is still light, my only light. "

We can find the same motive in the film "Nostalgia" by Andrei Tarkovsky. The hero must cross a dried-up pool with strange vapors, carrying a lit candle.

This symbol, in fact, answers our question about the meaning of human life, and, what is especially important, the answer is given not at the level of another philosophical dogma, but at a deep-symbolic level that penetrates into the very center. I think that meditation on the Hermit should be built on the basis of these symbols.

The hermit is an introverted model of the creator, artist, poet, who has a source of inspiration within himself. However, this source can also be in the outside world, which will correspond to the 11th lasso.

Iodine corresponds to fire and the begetting father in all magical formulas. “Yod is the first letter of the Tetragrammaton, symbolizing the Father, who is Wisdom; he is the highest form of Mercury, the Logos, the Creator of all worlds ”(A. Crowley“ The Book of Thoth ”). As already mentioned, this correspondence is not accidental and completely falls into Crowley's system. One of Alistair's Gnostic hymns to his secret father reads the following lines: “The hidden source of existence, unknown, alienated and lonely. You are the flame of truth in the reed, conceiving and giving birth. " In many myths, a single god (first principle) creates other gods and the world from himself in order to overcome his loneliness (brahmana). In fact, if we admit for a moment the possibility of the existence of a certain superintelligence, the only thing that can be said about it objectively is that it will in fact be alone.

The idea associated with the path of iodine is the idea of ​​uniqueness, uniqueness and even chosenness. The one who is chosen is always alone. I think there is no point in explaining this axiom.

Plants corresponding to the Hermit are lily, snowdrop, and daffodil. The logic of correspondences is obvious: the lily symbolizes virginity, the snowdrop, being the first flower, is like the seed from which spring is born, and the name "narcissus" has become a household name - any autoerotic and autistic tendencies in the psyche are called narcissistic in psychoanalysis. Equally remarkable are the correspondences from the animal kingdom, for according to the tables, any lonely animal can correspond to the path of iodine. Hermann Hesse, calling his novel, which has become a symbol of lonely, non-conformist seekers, - "Steppenwolf", fully confirmed this thesis.

The shadow side of the Hermit archetype is neurotic alienation in their illusions, which do not allow full contact with life. The candle should be carried through the storm, and not be hidden under the table and burn out in a safe environment. If a genius is alone because he transcends the world and already belongs to the future, then the neurotic is alone because he belongs to the past. The neurotic is a "monkey of genius", copying the tragedy of a genius, but in his performance the tragedy turns into a farce. False foolishness, pretentious speeches about loneliness are generated by the shadow aspect of the Hermit, which is in many ways related to the way of the meme. Remember Grebenshchikov: "Each of them will kill if you touch his longing with a finger"? This aspect will be discussed in more detail in the chapter on the Hanged Man.

A sage in the guise of a monk is depicted on the ninth lasso of the tarot. In one hand he holds a lantern, inside of which a star is burning. She illuminates his mortal path for him. In his other hand, he holds a staff of gold, which he leans on because of his stoop. He is old and looks tired because the wisdom of decades is resting on his shoulders. There is calmness in his eyes, because he is already standing on the top of the mountain to which he has been striving for all these years.

In ancient times, it was believed that the image of this card personified all-consuming time. In the hands of the elder, instead of a lantern, there was an hourglass, which spoke of his wisdom and fear that death was already on the doorstep.

This card means the rejection of physical needs and benefits. The main thing in life is spiritual values ​​and principles. What benefit will a person receive who has received the whole world in the palm of his hand in spite of his soul? This truth is very simple, however, in order to know its deep meaning, some need to go through a whole life. Therefore, the elder depicted on the map speaks of exactly this.

After the past years - he finally found his peace and the majesty of the Buddha. The eyes of the Buddha are usually closed, because he does not need eyes at all to see the light of Truth. This is where the name of this card in the Egyptian tarot came from. Inner Light... However, this enlightenment could only be achieved by the person who was subject to the most powerful temptations and was able to pass them with dignity. Perhaps if he did not have this staff, he would never have reached the top of this mountain.

The Hermit card is one of the deepest in the entire tarot deck. It carries in itself the self-knowledge and wisdom of the ages. A hermit is like a priest who has reached a certain level of enlightenment and has managed to renounce many earthly blessings.

The task of every person on earth is to understand, love and accept themselves. Most of the troubles and troubles in a person's life happen because of his self-loathing. Many people do not know their own worth at all and do not even realize that the whole Universe lives inside them. They believe that from the very birth they belong only to themselves and think that they know everything about themselves, but this is not at all the case.

Many religions speak of a lonely traveler who went in search of truth. He met on his way with many sages and teachers, he went around the whole world in search of that very truth, and by the end of his days he finally found it inside himself.

In the life of every person there comes a moment when you want to go in search of truth. To abandon everything earthly, going into the desert in search of your soul. The Universe always very clearly points us to the signs sent from above, however, due to the constant life and lack of time, people do not notice them.
The lantern on the map is a symbol of knowledge already accumulated by a person. He takes them with him on his journey to use during his long wanderings.

Card in an upright position

The Tarot Hermit has acquired the reputation of being a loner card. And alone, as everyone used to think, there is nothing good. Therefore, in the hands, he is an unwanted guest. However, this loneliness does not at all have depressive colors, on the contrary, this loneliness has light and brings a person closer to spiritual development. This card means that a person moves through life too impulsively and he should take a break. His life has become like a mouse race and it is worth healing his soul by resorting to this kind of healing. The hermit enables a person to find a home within himself and become a little closer to himself.

The hermit advises you to close yourself off from society for a while and start researching yourself. Meditation can be of great help in this. Various breathing practices and yoga. Every person needs a period of "hermitage". To know yourself and bring your mind to a state of rest.
The 9th lasso does not allow you to listen to the opinions of others when examining yourself. Only your opinion and inner sensations will open your eyes to your real self.

Card upside down

In an inverted state, this card means a complete rejection of oneself and a refusal of self-knowledge. Life turns into a series of events and the pursuit of new trophies. Relationships with people are built without sincere feelings. A person takes on more and more responsibilities and affairs in order not to be alone with his inner loneliness. Running away from oneself never leads to anything good. Fate gives an impetus and sends a person circumstances that will unsettle him in order to give him time to realize.
The Universe sends a person help for which he must grab.

Tarot the Hermit in different spheres of life

The Hermit Tarot card changes its meaning depending on the question from which area of ​​life you ask.

Personal relationships

In relationships, this card promises loneliness. If the fortuneteller has a partner, then the development of events can be of only two types:

• Parting and the realization that the relationship with this person has lost its meaning.
• Renunciation and a short pause in the relationship make it possible to understand yourself.

V love relationship The hermit often thinks about the feelings he has with his partner and constantly weighs them. Such a card is not the most favorable for a love relationship.
It will be quite difficult in a relationship with a person of such a card, since when difficulties appear on the horizon, such a person will not understand them, but will try to distance himself and go into his shell in order to think things over properly. This can take a long time. The hermit is secretive and not used to sharing his emotions with others. He is used to keeping everything in himself, but he himself requires timely impulses of feelings from his partner.

Work

The hermit card is indifferent to material values. She abandons everything earthly in the name of spirituality. The hermit can be identified as a freelancer or telecommuter. Because such people do not belong to any organization and do not have a boss.

This card promises success for people whose professions are associated with the study of secret knowledge and unexplored sciences. Also people involved in forensics or archeology.

Card of the day
