"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 Pisces in Love and Relationships
The Dreamer
Mercury against Neptune-ruled Pisces puts the whole thing into words, which is either the relief or the trap depending on whether Pisces then acts on them. Upright, this has turned inward, to the place where the outer tools stop working.
When reading about relationships through a Pisces lens, the Hermit card says that you feel like your partner is the mirror you check yourself against before you act, their needs are the weather system you orbit around, and love means becoming the version of you they seemed to want. This has either left you waking up one day unable to name a single preference that is actually yours, or to you exhausting yourself performing a self until the real one forgets how to speak. The thing you're not saying out loud is the thing that matters most. The Pisces blind spot in it is the moment they have to stop being useful and admit they're drowning.
In practice that can look like a turning point rather than an incident, or meeting someone who changes the shape of it. Whatever form it takes, it is turning inward, where the usual moves stop working.
