The Hermit tarot card

Tarot card meaning

The Hermit in love

Time alone, on purpose. The Hermit asks you to step back and understand what you really want before you look for it in someone else.

  • contemplation
  • search for truth
  • inner guidance
  • solitude

If you asked a yes-or-no question

No

Not now. This is a time to look inward first.

The Hermit reversed in love

Isolation that has gone on too long, or someone who keeps you at a distance. Solitude helps; hiding does not.

Keywords: loneliness, isolation, lost your way, withdrawal

If you’re single

A good season to be on your own and get clear on your standards. Love will be better for it.

If you’re in a relationship

Give each other some space. Time apart can make time together better.

After a breakup

Withdraw and reflect, but set a limit. Reach out to friends when you are ready.

How they feel about you

They care, but they are inward right now and need time to sort out their own feelings.

What the card shows
