Tarot Archetypes: The Hermit

Hello, my love. Your Tarot archetype is The Hermit. Now, I know that when people see The Hermit, they sometimes worry that it means they’ll end up alone—but that’s not what this archetype is about. The Hermit reminds you that your journey will involve periods of introspection and solitude, but not isolation. There is great wisdom in stepping away from the noise of the world, in taking time to seek your own counsel and listen to the quiet voice within.

The Hermit teaches you to value silence and introspection, to find strength in stillness rather than constant motion. This is not a path of disconnecting from life—it is about finding balance between engaging with the world and retreating when necessary to recharge, reflect, and realign. Your clarity and insight come when you allow yourself the space to think deeply and tune into your own wisdom.

This archetype also suggests that you carry great inner wisdom, and part of your journey may be helping others find clarity and enlightenment as well. The Hermit holds a lantern, a symbol that you may be a guiding light for those who seek deeper understanding. You don’t just seek knowledge for yourself—you illuminate the way for others.

The Hermit’s lantern also serves as a reminder that your intuition and wisdom are just as valid as anyone else’s. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is switch off the outside world, step into your own space, and listen. The answers you seek are already within you—you just need to create the stillness to hear them.
