Tarot card number:  9  Star Sign:  Virgo

Self Empowerment

This card indicates that someone has reached a level of maturity to realise that they cannot rely on anyone else to make them happy in life;  that they are solely responsible for the life they lead;  and that if someone else is in control of them, then its because they allowed them to be. 

The person concerned has come to the knowledge that the journey of their life is solitary.  No one can do things for them or make things easier or harder - the reality is, its all up to each individual.  The person  stops uselessly blaming others for their mistakes and realise the futility in hanging on to negativity or staying in a negative situation.  They find an inner strength and resolution that can only be found through self realisation and empowerment. 

This card can indicates a person looking for spiritual answers.  It can be a card indicating the growth of psychic awareness, higher cognitive abilities and a closer connection with the universe and the Self. 

The Hermit appears in a reading to show that someone has a mature understanding of life and the situation they are currently in.  It urges them to continue to listen to their heart and follow their instincts.  They are on a path of self discovery which will make them stronger. 

The Hermit can also appear when someone is acting as someone's guide in a situation. 

Relationships

This card can appear if a person is in some way guiding their partner.  It can also indicate that they are with this person for deeply spiritual reasons.  The appearance of the Hermit often depicts a person feeling very alone in the relationship. 

Reversed

A reversed Hermit can mean someone is feeling very isolated and lonely right now.  It can indicate anti-social behaviour.
