Meaning of The Hermit card

The Hermit card, in a daily context, represents a stage on the path where the student learns purity and inner wholeness, observes without judgment, and recognizes and understands the essence of things. It is a stage of seeking truth, searching for meaning, and finding the quiet needed for the soul to observe and see the big, complete picture—the whole. Only someone who has touched their soul can humbly share their light with others. A person connected to their inner truth has no questions, only answers. Their inner world is open and understood, and they do not need the approval of others. When The Hermit card appears in a reading, one of its expressions is the querent's hidden request to return to balance.
