Upright
Withdrawal from the noise to seek the inner light. The Hermit holds a lantern for himself and for those who follow. Study, contemplation and soul-searching.
Reversed
Isolation, loneliness or refusing guidance. Retreat has become avoidance. Allow yourself to return and share what you learned.
Reflect
Where in my life do I feel solitude right now?
What would change if I embraced introspection more fully?
