Take a time out. Pull back from the situation so that you can get a better perspective. A strategic withdrawal at this time is necessary.
The Hermit could also be telling you to consult with your own inner guidance. Rather than seeking some sort of outside wisdom or validation, look within. The answers lie with you alone.
This could also be advising to step into the role of the teacher. Share the wisdom you’ve gathered with others. Shine your light!
It’s also the card of the seeker, a reminder that you may need to research. Gather knowledge. Go back to school, explore the facts, find a teacher. The more you know, the more power you’ll have.
Questions to ponder:
Do you trust your own wisdom? Or are you always looking outside yourself for answers? What can you do to connect to your inner guidance? When do you trust yourself the most? When do you not?
