The Hermitas the Present
"The answers are in the quiet you keep avoiding."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
What this card is saying about now
You're being pulled away from the noise, and the pull is not a problem. The Hermit in the present asks you to make time for actual quiet — a walk, a page, a closed door — and stop outsourcing answers you already have inside. The light you need is in your own hand.
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
