The Hermitfor Aquarius
"The answers are in the quiet you keep avoiding."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A lonely figure holding a lantern and looking to the left stands on a mountain, walking stick in hand. He represents solitude, but also the wisdom gained from deeply knowing your inner truth. This takes time and mental energy, but leads to a kind of lightness
You are being called to turn inward, focus on listening to yourself and become a master in your own voice. Spend time alone (maybe through an artist's date, meditation, or journaling) to connect with your inner hermit. Ponder what you value most and keep that in mind as you navigate this busy world.
You are avoiding a part of yourself or some deep truth that you fear to admit. Perhaps you have disconnected from that part of yourself. Alternatively, you may have over indexed on solitude and need to reach out and spend time with people who align with your new found values

The Hermit for Aquarius
The Visionary
Aquarius is an Air fixed sign ruled by Saturn, whose natural subject is friendship, community, the collective, the long future. Mercury against Uranus-ruled Aquarius puts the whole thing into words, which is either the relief or the trap depending on whether Aquarius then acts on them. Aquarius is fixed: it holds on, and this card sits in the sustained middle, which is the one stretch fixed signs are actually built for. Upright, this has turned inward, to the place where the outer tools stop working.
