The Hermit
ฤๅษี
Remember it
A lantern held up in the dark: the answer is found by looking inward, alone.

- Searching
- Wisdom
- Retreat
The Hermit is a time to step back from the noise so you can hear yourself and find answers within. In a reading he often says you need time alone, reflection or deep study. Sometimes he represents a teacher or wise guide who lights the way for you. This solitude isn’t loneliness; it’s a chosen retreat that helps you grow.
