The Hermit's Advice

The Hermit's Advice

When working on our own personal growth and healing ourselves we can always learn a thing or two by listening to the advice from 'The Hermit' card in the Tarot. When the Hermit appears in our Tarot reading he calls upon us to take time for self discovery through inner reflection. You might benefit from taking some time out of the busy, external world for some 'quiet contemplation' upon your life and of who you are in amongst your own world.
Now, the hermit not only teaches us to withdraw from people and contemplate upon our inner selves, he also teaches us of the importance of being able to strike a balance between the aspects of our higher and lower vibrations. What use is it for us to be attuned to our higher self if we cannot learn to incorporate that understanding into our daily lives and activities? In reality it would be worth nothing! So this aspect of balance is a very important factor here!

On a final note and from the perspective of numerology, The Hermit has been assigned to key 9 in the Tarot. The number 9 represents the end of a cycle, which means that the time is right to let go of old outworn habits, beliefs and patterns of the past. Take advantage of this period by working on the shedding of your old ways and venture off into life in search for a higher purpose.

Remember, you are never alone, The Hermit is there to guide you. He shines his light to show you the way along the path towards reaching higher attainment and enlightenment. He has the answers of the mystery of life we are all striving to find, yet we must learn now how to discover those answers for ourselves otherwise we will always be waiting in wonder!!
