Take a moment to view this card and feel what it is saying to you in your personal life.
Interpretation
A guide figure is offering help. The reader must make an effort to connect with this guide either metaphysically (i.e. connecting to any spirit guides or their own intuition) or physically. Another interpretation of this card is that they are being asked to withdraw and search within for guidance. Reunite with your center for guidance or balance.
It being in the upright position calls for the reader to turn to the Hermit in their own life for advice. The reader is aware of it's influence but is choosing to ignore it. Stop and take the day to listen (even with it being the end of the day take this time to reflect on the day). The reader is beginning to open themself to inner guidance and must take the time to pause and allow that meeting to happen.
Personal Interpretation
The Hermit to me is a man who silently and solemnly guides fellow wanderers on their journey. I view him as my intuition asking me to ground myself and listen to what it wants me to do in order to complete my goals/journey. Whenever the Hermit appears in my reading, I take it as a reminder to ground myself and reacquaint myself to my intuition or as a reminder to be more vocal when it comes to asking for help as I often become like the Hermit, solemnly standing on the side and guiding others to their destination.
Self Reflection
As mentioned above, I often take sight of the Hermit in my readings as a reminder to pause and take the time to reflect and listen to anything that's been bothering me. Writing is a good way to work through any issues that may come up and can provide insight. As a person who struggles with anxiety, I often find issue with listening to my intuition as I'm unsure if it's my anxiety or my intuition providing guidance. If you are like me, I find that it's usually the quieter voice that is providing the true guidance. The voice that is often overshadowed by shouts of anxiety.
Thank you for reading and I hope you find this card helpful in your day. Again, look at the card and listen to what it tells you, see how it equates to your life. My interpretation is only part of the reading, how it speaks to you will truly define what it means.
