The Hermit

The Hermit climbs alone, holding a six-pointed star inside a lantern. He represents the deliberate retreat — the cabin, the silent month, the long walk — that lets a person hear their own next instruction. He is also the teacher who reappears once the seeker is ready.

Isolation that has tipped into loneliness, or refusing the solitude the soul is asking for.

Past: a formative season alone. Present: withdraw and listen before deciding. Future: the answer arrives through quiet, not action. In a relationship spread: someone who needs solitude as part of their love. As a yes/no: not now — wait.
