The Hermit

Element: Earth

Planet / Zodiac: Virgo

Upright

Withdraw from external distractions to seek wisdom through deep self-reflection, contemplation, and solitude. Look inward for solutions to life's challenges, as your inner teacher knows the way. It is a season of quiet spiritual maturity.

Reversed

Isolation, withdrawal, paranoia, and refusing guidance. You might be shutting yourself off from the world out of fear of vulnerability, or getting lost in your own thoughts. Balance your introspection with grounding action.

Symbolism

An old, bearded monk standing atop a snowy peak, holding a staff, and carrying a lantern containing a six-pointed star.
