The Hermit

The Hermit
represents a time when the seeker may wish to draw inward, away
from all outside action, to be introspective and gain perspective
on the world outside. This may represent a time for soul searching
or looking to yourself for the answer or maybe just the need for
some alone time. It is a time of self-illumination, circumspection
the search for the truth and wisdom of the higher self.
It can also
reflect an acceptance and understanding of things that can't be
changed as well as wisdom, patience, new appreciation of life. When
dealing with a conflict, the Hermit can also signify a time for
withdrawal or retreat.
The Hermit
suggests a quiet, withdrawn person intent on self-reflection and
mediation.
It can also
be someone who is withdrawn, expressionless, a loner, one who withholds
information or keeps secrets.
