The Hermitfor Virgo
"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 Virgo
The Analyst
Virgo is an Earth mutable sign ruled by Mercury, whose natural subject is work, routine, health, service, the daily how. Mercury rules Virgo, so this card is not describing an outside force. It is describing Virgo to itself, which is why there is no distance in it. Virgo is mutable: it adapts, and this card is in the middle, where adapting can quietly become avoiding. Upright, this has turned inward, to the place where the outer tools stop working.
