The Hermit: The Seeker

Upright Meaning & Psychology
Step away from the noise of the world. A time for profound introspection and meditation. The answers you need are hidden deep within your own soul. Silence is your greatest teacher.
Love & Relationships
If single, a necessary period of being happily alone to heal. If coupled, it suggests a need for personal space, or that the relationship feels emotionally isolating.
Career & Finances
Take a step back from the daily grind to re-evaluate long-term goals. Seek a wise mentor, or step into the role of mentoring others.
Reversed (Shadow) Meaning
Warns of extreme isolation, loneliness, or becoming a recluse. Alternatively, you are desperately avoiding spending time alone because you fear your own thoughts.
