Tarot Cards Reading: the Hermit and the Wheel of Fortune
The Hermit – Arcana VIIII
The Hermit is the ninth Tarot card.
This tarot card is represented by an old man wearing a cape and carrying a lantern, walking with a cane. This old person seems to walk with caution.
His clothing is quite particular: the inside of his cape is richer than the outside; which means that the Hermit gives more value to the inner wealth than to the external wealth.
The Hermit is not a negative tarot card, it is a symbol wisdom.
Basic meaning:
In the right position, the Hermit symbolizes caution, protection, but also reflection and misanthropy.
In the reversed position this tarot card represents selfishness, greed, indolence, dishonest actions.
Examples:
During a consultation, the Hermit card may emerge in a favorable position and inform our consultant about the importance of reflection, her questioning, it may also mean that this person will take time to make her decision.
When the Hermit comes in a negative position (on the left), it confirms the blocking of a situation, either by the consultant’s inaction, either by the questioning of a person associated with our consultant.
For instance, a woman who applied for a new job did not receive a reply. If the Hermit card is positioned in a negative way, it means that the employer is a misogynist and that our consultant has no chance to get the job.
The Hermit also represents isolation, imprisonment, betrayal.
Placed next to the Temperance this card symbolizes harmony.
