The Hermit Tarot card in an upright position generally indicates that you are entering a period of soul searching, self-reflection and spiritual enlightenment.
You may find that you need time alone to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, to remove yourself from the daily grind in order to discover your true spiritual self, contemplate your existence, your direction in life or your values.
The Hermit can also indicate isolating yourself or withdrawing into oneself in order to recover from a difficult situation.
This Major Arcana trump card can suggest that you may be going through an anti-social phase where you just don’t want to interact with people as much as you normally would.
The Hermit is wise, mature and knowledgeable and may be an indication of someone seeking the services of a counsellor or psychiatrist. This is a time to focus on yourself and meeting your own needs.
The background of this card is a wall, pillar, or very large stone tablet of some sort, with a multi-part design on it not dissimilar to a clock.
8 equidistant symbols are spaced around the inner-perimeter of this design, between the two concentric circles that form the primary bounds of the design, and each symbol looks similar to a very simple letter or character.
At the center of this circle are four lines intersecting at one center, creating what looks like the letter X and a plus sign combined.
All lines have a perpendicular line at the very tip. However, at the tip of the vertical and horizontal lines are various shapes: the left tip of the horizontal line has a circle, the right has a triangle with a very short line just to the left of it, perpendicular to the horizontal line.
The bottom tip of the vertical line has two horizontal squiggles, and the top tip has, from top to bottom, a U-shaped curve, a circle that just touches the curve above it, and a line just below the circle. In front of this design, a figure lays dead against it, slumped over to the left.
Bleeding bullet wounds riddle the figure's torso and blood pours from the neck and mouth, while an open briefcase full of credit cards sits near the figure's legs, seeming to have just fallen from their hands. The figure is clad in green and white the tablet behind them is a muted orange and the floor below is purple, pink, and red.
