What does the hermit card mean? Let's enlighten
ARCANA IX
The talisman of the 9th Arcana in the form of a Lantern is a symbol of the Teacher-Mentor. A talisman in the form of a staff with 3 knots provides support in three planes of existence.
Description of the meaning of Arcana
The energy of this Arcana is connected with the Consciousness of the Ascended Masters. Magicians of the third level, conducting the energy of the 9th Arcana, are outside the physical world. These beings, whose consciousnesses reflect the whole world, are on a different energy level. This energy allows the human consciousness to contain the whole world and all the processes occurring in it. By changing the picture of the world in his mind, the Magician can change the real processes occurring in the world. This energy allows you to control events occurring in the world.
Description of the Angel Arcana
The angel of the ninth Arcana is the Wanderer. This is a hermit and ascetic traveling alone. The Angel's attributes are the Wanderer's staff and the Master's lamp. The Angel's face is hidden by the Cloak of Namelessness.
Action of Arcanum on the Body
This Arcanum tunes the Magician to conduct energy, which increases the frequency of the body and puts it into a special mode of functioning. Most microorganisms die in this mode. The body's immunity increases many times over. The body in this mode does not need material food, but is highly dependent on the information environment. To heal the body in this mode, the correct verbal formula is enough.
The effect of the Arcanum on the Situation
To change any situation with the help of the energies of the 9th Arcana, it is enough to imagine the necessary scenario for the development of future events. The Magician’s consciousness is able to change the life trajectory of any objects whose frequency is below the 9th Arcana. Here we are faced with the principle of Hierarchy: the consciousness of the Highest determines the existence of the lower ones.
Arcana Ritual
The Angel of Arcana meets the applicant on the Road and carries him along. The key to this ritual is the Path. The angel carries the adept along with him and hands him the Traveler's staff, the Master's Lamp and the cloak of the Unknown.
Siddha Arcana
The magician who conducts this energy has self-sufficiency and power over the world. Being outside of any events, he can control them. A magician who has this Siddha is outside the events of this world, but has power over them.
Using the energy of this Arcana
The energy of this Arcana is used to change the level of consciousness. This is the energy of Ascension.
Number 9 - "THE GREAT EMPTINESS"
Arcanum IX is a teaching about the affirmation and knowledge by man on the path of his existence of his individuality, about the independence and isolation of his manifested being.
Divine world - Absolute wisdom.
Mental plane. Highest Patronage. Mental Initiation as joining the Universal Man. Patronage and help of the Savior. The idea and image of the Patron Geniuses. Super-ego. Mental self-determination. Wisdom. Caution, forethought (initiation into the world of facts).
Astral plane. Astral Initiation. World Astral Man (Personality) as an Initiator. Initiation as a process of evolutionary work. Self-dedication is finding the Patron in oneself. Astral self-knowledge. Superstitions. Prejudice. Conventions. Mental harmony.
Physical plan. Initiation in the physical body. Nature as Initiator.
Arcanum IX is depicted as an old man walking, leaning on a staff, and carrying in front of him a lit lantern, half hidden by him under his cloak. This old man personifies the experience acquired through working life. The lit lantern expresses the light of the mind, which should spread to the past, present and future. The cloak covering the lantern signifies caution, and the staff symbolizes the support given by prudence and caution to a person who does not want to divulge his thoughts.
“Remember, son of the Earth, that prudence is the weapon of the wise man. Prudence gives him the opportunity to avoid pitfalls and abysses and anticipate betrayal. Let prudence be your guide in all your actions, even the most insignificant ones. Nothing in the world should be indifferent: a pebble can set in motion the chariot of the ruler of the world. Remember that if the word is silver, then silence is golden.”
“When you see snow and flowers randomly falling from the Sky (flying snowflakes and dancing flowers) and the time has come to leave the Physical Body, then let the thought of leaving arise and direct it to the Great Emptiness.”
In this “Emptiness” a person finds himself alone and there is nothing around him. Here he will understand that he has his own Light, his own energy and that here he relies on his experience, on a huge amount of Knowledge. A person feels that he has his own World and can exist in it - this is SELF-SUFFICIENCY.
“EMPTY” is a barrier to our self-sufficiency, our loneliness, which keeps others at the distance necessary for our personality to live a free and fulfilling life. Everyone in the “Emptiness” is a self-absorbed, independent and completely unobtrusive individual. He expands to the edges of the horizon, and finds out that he himself is the container of everything, as if the entire Universe is contained inside him. A man inside himself discovers an interlocutor - his Teacher, who introduces him to the World of Zatomis. The first thing a person will be able to see is violet and gold energy, and will hear the sound of melodic bells - “crimson ringing”. Visual sensations may appear: tropical twilight; the river along which the lunar path runs; bamboo thickets and walking celestials.
QUINTENSENCE- perfect substance, ideal matter of the Space between the 3rd and 4th dimensions, this is the first matter that arose when the Divine Fire of the Mind breathed life into the previously reigning Chaos. This is the “Great Emptiness”, AMENTI - “Womb of the Earth”. Amenti is located at a depth of 1832 km, below the surface of the earth.
"Everyone must enter into his mother, who is the prima materia, in order to gain eternity." “Visit the depths of the earth and, having purified yourself, you will find the secret Stone.”
PRIMAMATER contains all possible properties and qualities; it contains the potentiality of all things and phenomena. It remains unchanged under any circumstances. Primary matter is a natural substance containing sulfur, mercury and philosophic salt (symbolic elements); all substances are composed of them, but in different proportions, which is why some bodies are more perfect than others. This matter potentially possesses all the qualities and properties of elementary things; it contains within itself the material beginning and end of everything, the quintessence called the “bird of Hermes.” This is the germ of all things, the original moisture. Materia Prima in the state of distant matter is called the Raw Material of the Sages. She is a rough mineral extracted from the mine; becoming an object of alchemical transformations, an object of Work, it becomes nearby matter.
“If Nature had made better use of this matter in the “Womb of the Earth” and if she had not mixed it with dirt, then she would have been the Holy Sun and the Moon.”
That part of the Lower Manas which retains its purity forms the AntahKarana. After death, the higher Light (AntahKarana), which carries the impressions and memory of all good and noble aspirations, is assimilated by the Higher EGO, while the bad is separated in the Space of the Lower Astral and returns in the form of bad Karma, awaiting the person in the next incarnation. The purpose of Lower Manas is to dissipate the properties of the material form in the Astral. The lower EGO has the power to drive away sins and increase good deeds through the AntahKarana.
The following senses or qualities of mind are required to enter the Star Gate:
Love,
Truth, Beauty,
Trust, Harmony, Peace,
Reverence for God
The meaning of the number Nine
Lotus Temple
As for the symbolism, it is based mainly on the Greatest Name of God. Islam says that God has many names, one of which is the Greatest, and it is hidden from humanity. Baha'u'llah revealed this name to us - Baha (emphasis on the second "a"). Translated from Arabic (which became the language of the last three Divine Revelations) this means “glory”, “greatness”, “splendor”, “brilliance”, “radiance”, “beauty”.
In Arabic (as in many others), each letter has a numerical correspondence; therefore, each word also corresponds to a certain number. For the word "Baha" this is the number 9, which is why it is considered sacred by the Baha'is, and one of the symbols of the Baha'i Faith is a nine-pointed star (and therefore temples have a nine-sided plan). See Baha'i Faith.
Pictogram
Ten intersecting nine-pointed stars 
The number nine in the alchemical process denotes absolute Truth (3x3), - here the Lord descends to people (Descent - Avatarati), unites with them and shows them the path of Ascension.

NUMBER 9
I am Nine, the incomprehensible, the most powerful of all numbers. I am intangible, I like to hide and prefer to avoid energies that want to give me form in accordance with their laws. I have my own laws, and I do not allow myself to be criticized.
I am stronger than the Eight, who believes that she can afford everything, and wiser than the Six, whose promiscuity I can remind. I carry within me a premonition of Chaos, but I do not succumb to it. I prefer to act secretly, I love solitude, from where I coolly observe the bustle of others. I use their energies and control them. Anyone who wants to get to know me should come to me. Anyone who wants to understand me must learn to see what is hidden from view.
I often hear the One complaining about Chaos, from which she herself comes, and I know that she does this because incomprehensibility does not allow herself to be controlled and eludes her power claims. The unit does not understand anything, because it wants to receive and hold. I know that nothing remains as it is now. Movement turns into stagnation, dominance into slavery, understanding into amazement.
Chaos poses countless riddles for everyone. I solve them and thereby bring relief from thirst. I am a teacher for everyone. I teach a Unit of tolerance, a Two - independence, a Three - renunciation, a Four - ease, a Five - looseness, a Six - modesty, a Seven - secrecy, and an Eight - love. Although I share much with the Three and the Six, I have to carry out my work alone, fully aware that upon completion it must return to where it came from: into Chaos.
I know very well that all numbers, some to a greater extent, some to a lesser extent, have distrust towards me, since they probably feel that I am forced to feed on their energy, not being able to independently generate my own. But in reality, I only manage this modest, often against the will, mite transferred to me, so that one day - when the end of the world comes and they have all exhausted their energies - by paying back what they lent, I will give them the opportunity to return to where they come from: to Chaos. But until then, I will demand my share from everyone who approaches me, not to rob, but to ensure that the quintessence is preserved and the memory is not dispelled.
I control ideas and forms.
I AM NINE!
Positive traits:
Impressive, intuitive, imaginative, impulsive, artistic, idealistic, willing to sacrifice oneself for others.
Negative qualities:
Distancing, prone to mania, grumpy, unpredictable, hypocritical, unable to navigate.
Birth number 9
The gift of understanding and empathy associated with the "nine" allows you to lead the cosmic parade of vibrations. The number “9” is the number of metaphysics and philosophy, and you, obeying your nature, will turn to the occult sciences more than once in your life. You may even have experiences of an unusual nature that will take you to the level of supersensible perception. One way or another, you will find yourself in the power of mysticism. The knowledge gained from your experiences and the study of the subject will make you wiser, and you will be able to find an explanation for any vicissitudes of life. You need to travel just like you need to breathe. But if a temporary change from your usual home environment is enough for someone, you need more. Change shapes your character and broadens your horizons, so that you gain the ability to understand the traditions of all countries and peoples, and learn the empathy and tolerance necessary to be a peacemaker.
Nine
NINE - formal harmony with hidden antagonism; internal crisis, preparation for a development leap; spiritual profanation, ritual.
A comment.
9 = 32 - the second level of embodiment of the harmonious three, now not at the (first) level of ideas, but in partially spiritualized living matter. Nine is a sign of an upcoming crisis and a qualitative leap before the completion of the third level, expressed in ten by the emergence of self-awareness of the spirit (for example, a religious person). Nine is cosmic harmony, formed in spiritualized matter, not prepared for this, and therefore containing within itself an unresolved antagonistic conflict. This conflict is resolved only in the ten, and by the nine it is perceived as insoluble, but is carefully camouflaged by its external harmony. Nine appears to be absolutely self-sufficient, harmonious and passive, although in reality it represents the idea of transition, crisis and a leap in development. The symbol of nine is a self-sufficient, self-absorbed pregnancy. The internal reason for the hidden conflicts of the nine is that it is the second highest level of manifestation of the harmony of the three, in which each of the three elements that make up the three gave birth to two more, which immediately entered into antagonism (see figure). Nine, like eight, is deprived of a direct channel into the subtle plane and represents the maximum achievable harmony of the world, which has indirect connections with a higher plane, but is trying to build its own harmony without them. This is the ideal of formal methods (eg materialistic science), while the figure of eight is the reality of formal methods. Thus, the internal antagonism of the nine is due to the impossibility of an adequate harmonious embodiment of the spirit (at this, that is, the third, level of its manifestation), being at the same time an attempt to ignore this circumstance and build the harmony of partially spiritualized matter, so to speak, by the means available. However, the internal contradictions of the nine are not at all obvious; it claims to be perfect as it is, and pretends that these contradictions are nothing more than simply the forces contained within it, which can be turned to further development and improvement. This, however, is not the case. Firstly, the nine symbolizes (as if) the harmony that has already been achieved, and she does not want to develop anywhere and, in her opinion, is not necessary, and secondly, her internal contradictions are antagonistic, that is, she cannot reconcile them, and they sting painfully her from the inside. This is, therefore, a pregnant woman, completely closed in on herself and completely comfortable with herself; she absolutely does not want to give birth to a child, and she pretends that she is not going to do this, at the same time feeling the temporary nature of her situation and feeling internal harbingers of the inevitably coming crisis, that is, childbirth: uncontrollable mood swings, toxicosis, etc.
9=8+1 - having received perfect tools that model subtle ones, but still deprived of a direct spiritualizing channel into the subtle plane, nine builds harmony in the primarily spiritualized world, ignoring this spirituality. Therefore, it builds precisely formal harmony, which is fraught with destruction or a breakthrough upward. Image: a musician polishing his technique, ignoring the plane of spiritual love, that is, working on Vishuddha in addition to Anahata.
9=7+2 - polarization of the vertical channel into a more subtle plane gives large shifts at the horizontal level, but leads to the emergence of internal contradictions that are insoluble at this level.
9=6+3 - perfect forms of life, clothed in harmony on the plane of spirituality, acquire strong internal contradictions, but retain external isolation.
9=5+4 - materialization of life at the primary spiritual level gives it forms that are formally harmonious, but lack the possibility of direct development. 9=4+5 - life transforms inert forms into perfect ones, but still only potentially spiritual.
9=3+6 - perfect life, rising on a harmonious basis, acquires contradictions and retains only external harmony, since now it lacks a direct spiritual channel.
9=2+7 - the spiritual channel materializes the idea of confrontation, creating a perfect primary spiritual substance that preserves antagonism within itself - a religious or magical rite. Nine is outwardly harmonious and self-sufficient, it seems to itself and many others an unattainable ideal, but it is absolutely passive, immersed in itself and there it is torn apart by contradictions that are poorly understood by it. Claims to be complete spirituality, while at the same time strictly profaning all its real manifestations in others.

Number 9 in the psychomatrix
The number 9 in the psychomatrix is responsible for the mind, memory and clairvoyance of a person. Why this particular number? It follows the number 8, and its characteristic must be related to the meaning of this number. Eight is responsible for duty towards loved ones, especially parents. Naturally, people experience the death of their parents, and it is for this case that the number 9 is intended. After the death of parents, the duty passes into a new quality; it is necessary to remember them, and therefore the number 9 is responsible for memory. When we talk about a person, about his abilities, then, as a rule, assessing his memory, we make a conclusion about the strength of his mind: “He knows so much (we mean: remembers), which means he is an intelligent person.” It’s worth arguing about this, because it was not for nothing that our great Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov said: “Omniscience does not teach intelligence.”
Many (See) nines appeared in the psychomatrix. This means that the characteristic of memory must give way to a new quality for which nines are responsible - clairvoyance. Let's try to figure out the process of clairvoyance itself. Two types of clairvoyance can be distinguished. Firstly, if a person has strong energy (22 or more), then he can join the information field. It is accessible to him due to his strong memory, since the quantity of information remembered must turn into quality. Information accumulated over many generations must be organized, but it must not disappear from the information field. That is why entry into it is allowed only to those who have a strong memory and energy.
If a person has many nines in the psychomatrix, but weak energy (no more than one two), then we can talk about comparative clairvoyance, when he selects a similar situation from his memory and makes an assumption about the completion of the present event. Such clairvoyance does not have much reliability.
Clairvoyance dispels a person’s memory, sometimes tearing him away from reality. Clairvoyants entering the information field may be mistaken in their predictions, since they are able to see (or realize) the outline of an event, its vague silhouette. Sometimes they cannot determine the end time, but they know how the situation will end.
Clairvoyance is more strongly represented by the signs "9999 or 99999". In this case, they talk about the sign of the prophet, when almost all of a person’s predictions come true with a high degree of accuracy.
If your child has this sign, then know that you have a huge responsibility for revealing the clairvoyant. How can such a disclosure be made?
The main thing is that it is necessary to highlight the range of his interests and direct him to his own improvement in this area. As soon as his potential in mastering this area of knowledge reaches a sufficiently high level, a qualitative change in the situation will occur, the person will gain access to the information field where information from all people with a similar interest has been accumulated. As soon as a person first receives information, in a dream or vision, it is necessary to begin to compile his dictionary of symbols that will appear in dreams or visions. Very often, a strong clairvoyant or prophet suffers from the fact that he cannot understand the meaning of the information that appears in a dream - the information is encoded in symbols or images. You should not resort to the help of various dream interpreters; it is best to create your own dream book, which more accurately reflects the essence of possible events. The main thing is to learn to believe and trust your own premonitions, dreams, visions, sensations. If a child has these qualities, then trust him, he knows a lot.

ASTROLOGY
Ninth House
The ninth house represents the third phase of the development of the self: its ideal, that is, what a person would like to be. The question of the ideal of the ninth house (conscious and subconscious) is far from simple, in particular because it must be oriented towards the reality existing around a person, and a person often cannot answer the question: “How will my ideal behave in this situation?” give no answer other than the bitter confession: “He should never hit it.” Thus, the ideal of the “I” of the ninth house is a practical ideal, that is, an image designed to exist in the very reality in which a person lives.
However, a person tends to repress the most unpleasant moments of his life, especially when forming his ideal, so the latter often lives in a more cultured and pure environment than the person himself, and this is wrong, since one should constantly correct one’s behavior by turning to the ideal, and especially in those moments when you least want it - so that the lower principle, released into freedom, does not so openly celebrate its existence.

General meaning of the arcana Hermit
The hermit appears at night. In one of his hands is a high-raised lantern that illuminates his path. In the other there is a cane guiding his step. The loneliness contained in the “Hermit” Arcana is by no means caused by fear or fear of others and the world as a whole: for the “Hermit” it is part of an internal search. Is it possible to hear any sound without being alone in silence? Or to truly get to know a person without first experiencing loneliness? To withdraw from the noisy world means to immerse yourself in an inner search.
It is not enough for a hermit to learn new things; it is important for him to understand the essence of any thing and let it pass through himself. Being prudent by nature, he acts carefully, carefully weighing any situation, without making judgments, especially hasty ones. Vanity is alien to the hermit; he is not interested in clothes and appearance, nor in wealth and power. For him, only the essence of things is important, and he strives to know it in solitude. To those who respect his solitude, the Hermit appears to be a true Master. Having completed his search, he will definitely return to the human world, but for now he prefers to travel alone. Most often, the appearance of the “Hermit” Arcana in the layout does not mean the need for loneliness and physical distance from others. Its meaning, rather, lies in the need to look deeper into oneself and develop one’s own principles, without being guided by the opinions of other people.
Iconography of Arcana Tarot 9 - The Hermit
The card depicts a man with a lantern, wearing a long monastic robe with a hood and holding a staff. The staff is a symbol of the search for truth, the desire to know one’s purpose. One of the ways of knowledge is silence, loneliness, reflection. Solitude does not come from fear of problems, but from the desire to mobilize mental resources to achieve a goal. The monk shows that at the moment you should focus on solving internal problems. The time has come to reflect on the experience of the past in order to understand how much it helps determine the path of development. Perhaps it is worth paying attention to some situation, rethinking it, or looking at what happened from a different perspective. The card may indicate that it is time to take a different look at established relationships and principles. The monk indicates the possibility or desirability of in-depth study of the situation. Meditation will help with this. The Monk card tells the questioner what kind of person he really is, although he may not like the true state of affairs. But in order to understand your own life path, you don’t need to be afraid of the truth. This card can help by revealing your true intentions and aspirations, and at the same time indicating ways to achieve what you want.

Arcana Tarot Hermit in fortune telling
If you pulled out the Monk card from the deck, it means you should dive deeper into your own inner world. Deal with your problems. A quiet walk is helpful. This will help you relax and understand yourself better. If you need to do some work, then don’t be distracted and immerse yourself in it completely. To properly assess the current situation, you will need some time to think. To make a decision, do not rush, the decision must mature on its own.
The advice of the card is to be alone on this day. For what - decide for yourself.
Hermit upright
In the upright position, the Monk card drawn from the deck symbolizes wisdom and moderation, the search for truth. It also means prudence and discretion, but can also indicate negative aspects of character or situation - pretense and betrayal, as well as fraud or treason. You should think about the events of your life, relationships with other people. The card shows that the person is lonely. It's time to think about what exactly caused this loneliness, whether it is beneficial or harmful. You should not be afraid of the Monk card; it is important to understand its tips and follow the right path. The card will help you achieve harmony with yourself, because sooner or later any person needs a period of solitude or loneliness to better understand himself.
Hermit in reverse position
In an inverted position, the card means that you are able to acquire the necessary knowledge and achieve the goal completely on your own. The Monk also indicates stubbornness, ossification and refusal of necessary help. And excessive caution, turning into unreasonable suspicion. Maybe the person asking needs help in a difficult situation and they were ready to provide this help. But because of his own inflexibility, a person has given up the opportunity to correct something in his life and continues to follow the wrong path.
Meditation on the Hermit card
To meditate, choose a comfortable position and a quiet place. Light some incense. Play appropriate music if it helps you relax. Sit comfortably and look at the map with a “defocused” gaze, through the image itself. It will come to life and gain volume. Then close your eyes, mentally holding the image of the card in front of you. Try to feel the energy of the image. Now you can chat with the card, ask questions and try to hear the answers.
You should ask the Monk card for advice about unclear life situations: how past experiences affect your current life. How can you fix what doesn't suit you in life? After you receive the answers, thank the card for the advice and you can end the meditation.
Arcana the Hermit as a talisman
Activate the energy of the card so that it will help you find the right path. Place it on the table and place lighted candles on both sides; there should be no other light. Take a closer look at the map, imagine how the monk on it illuminates your path and guides you in the right direction. Having clearly visualized this, extinguish the candles and leave the card next to them until the morning. Carry it with you at all times. Thanks to her energy, you will understand what to do in a given situation.
I continue publishing about the major arcana of the Tarot. Today I will touch on the Hermit card - 9 lasso. To correctly understand the meaning of this card, you must first look at the image. I'll use the Rider-Waite deck as a basis. Let's take a deeper look at the map. She is depicted on a blue background, like the High Priestess. Therefore, the main tool in interpretation will be our subconscious. The name of the 9th Arcana of the Tarot speaks of its meaning.
The 9th lasso depicts an old man. He is alone, there is no support or support. The Hermit Tarot says that you have to rely only on yourself. Don't expect help from other people. The old man's gaze is directed downward, which deprives him of confidence. Some people give this card pride, but if you look at it, you will immediately understand that this is not so. He wears a gray robe with a hood. Tarot Hermit holds a staff in his left hand, which symbolizes support, core, regime. Perhaps, under the influence of difficult circumstances, the staff will help the old man not to fall to the ground.
In the right hand, 9 lassos hold a lantern, which illuminates their path. We usually walk with a flashlight where it is dark or we don’t know the right path, we walk slowly and carefully. In a reading, the ninth lasso of the Tarot always speaks of limitations and caution. More importantly, there is a star hidden in the lantern - a symbol of good luck and fortune in Tarot cards. It's like she's behind bars. Most likely, the old man deliberately imprisoned the star. This means giving up luck, fun and joy. or at this moment luck and happy time turned away from the person. He should stop relying on them.
The old man stands on the snow, which symbolizes the cold. Coldness in the soul, refusal of warmth. Stagnation in business and actions. In astrology, the 9th Arcana of the Tarot can be associated with or with. At this moment, a person limits Himself and tries to get rid of temptations. He is watching and waiting for something. In astrological practice, this card is close in character to the planet Saturn. The hermit symbolizes time.
Tarot Hermit - direct meaning.
In the reading, the main meaning of the 9th Arcana of the Tarot is limitation and stagnation. You shouldn’t take active steps at this moment, strive for something, or wait for the help of friends. You just need to not think about it. Everything has its time.
The Hermit is favorable when working on himself. At this time, it is worth engaging in self-development and studying actual goals. This card can bring good luck to those who do not believe in it, but will work hard every day according to plan, without being distracted by meaningless things. Perhaps to succeed you will have to give up something, bad habits, certain people, your beliefs. Better understand yourself.
Like other cards, the Hermit in the layout can indicate a wise, but inhibited person. He won't do anything himself. But he can give good advice. If you have a guru or mentor, this card symbolizes him. But the best adviser when the 9th lasso falls out in a layout is your subconscious. Ask Yourself: “What do I really need? Answering may require time and privacy.
In personal relationships, the 9th lasso of the Tarot Hermit means loneliness or coldness in feelings. You should think about choosing a partner. The ninth lasso means concentrating on yourself and your feelings, and not on your partner and his problems. When this card falls on a man in a scenario, at best, it’s worth waiting. In the worst case, this Tarot card means separation, breakup. Your partner has no time for you right now. It’s better to take a break at this time, understand how important relationships are for a person, and understand yourself. Tarot Hermit is an egoist, he does not strive for partnership. On the other hand, there is no need to rush into a relationship. The ninth lasso of the Tarot does not like to rush.
In a profession scenario, the Hermit card will show stagnation in work and advancement. This is a bad period for business and activism. Success takes time. This card often shows cooling relationships with colleagues
This card is endowed with karmic meaning. When planning for the future, the 9th lasso means an unfavorable period, imprisonment. It's worth the wait. This is a great time for esotericism and self-development.
9 lasso - inverted position.
A hermit in an inverted position means forced isolation from the world. The man did not find the answer to the question he found out. The subconscious didn't help either. All expenses and restrictions were in vain. Loneliness did not give the desired results. The ninth lasso of the Tarot is in this position and does not provide a clear dialogue with the subconscious. It's a waste of time. Selfishness will not lead to anything good. Be simpler and people will be drawn to you.
Combination with other cards
The Hermit Tarot, when combined with other cards, shows an area in which there will be stagnation and cooling. An area where you should moderate your ardor. With a card or 9 Arcana Tarot increases the value of intuition in the layout. It is not very compatible with swords, because negativity increases.

Astrological meaning of the lasso: Leo.
Arcana superpower: the ability to be holistic, self-sufficient, wise in everything.
The Hermit card, Spirituality means, first of all, the renunciation of the desire for material and physical benefits, turning to the Mind and Spirit. “What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” - asked Jesus. It would seem a simple truth, but sometimes a person needs a whole life to understand it. That is why the Hermit depicted on the map is old.
This card contains the energy of detachment from the world, the path to ourselves, when we “close ourselves” from external influences in order to find peace away from the bustle and people and, most importantly, to find ourselves.
Almost all religions contain legends about the journeys of the Spirit, about great teachers or prophets who walked around the world in search of truth or God, the same energy is contained in the 9th lasso. After all, the Divine power, the Light, will not be able to speak openly while we are distracted by the worries of everyday life. The search for truth must begin alone, in solitude.
The energy of the 9th Arcana is contained in Buddhism, not as a religion, but as a spiritual teaching. The energy of this arcana is connected with the Consciousness of the Ascended Masters; this energy allows the human consciousness to contain the entire World and all the processes occurring in it. This energy allows you to control events occurring in the world.
Description of the lasso.
The angel of the 9th arcana is the Hermit, the Wanderer is an ascetic traveling alone. The attributes of the Arcana angel are the Wanderer’s staff and the Master’s lamp (denotes the principle of “walking with your light”, carrying your light with you, drawing knowledge from yourself), and his face is hidden by the Cloak of Namelessness - symbolizing the principle of mystery, and simply that a person Those engaged in spiritual development must be largely secretive and self-absorbed.
The road along which the Wanderer walks is the Path that we saw in the 22nd and 18th Arcana, but in the 9th Arcana it is already a conscious movement along the Path of evolution and an attempt to reach the next spiritual level. The energies of this arcana are used to change the level of consciousness; here comes the second Initiation of Magicians (the first was when crossing the border of the 17th arcana).
The Hermit has a staff in his hand, and three knots on the staff indicate support on three planes: physical, astral and mental.
In the background of the card we see a tree in the state of autumn and this symbolizes age, and the hermit himself is not young. All this tells us that achieving this level of development, achieving true wisdom requires many incarnations, rebirths, a long phase of training, until a person comes to true spirituality, finds this spirituality, or rather the Spirit - a particle of the divine, immortal principle in himself. to yourself.

Reversed Hermit
The Reversed Hermit often shows that you don't want to be on your own right now and are looking for a relationship with another person - perhaps out of fear of a lonely old age. Or you feel unsociable and avoid close contacts. You have been abandoned or you have turned your back on your family and friends. Perhaps the teacher or guru was chosen incorrectly - he turned out to be deceitful or betrayed you. The Reversed Hermit implies excessive perfectionism and demanding of oneself and others to meet impossible standards. And sometimes this card speaks of your carelessness, imprudence and impetuosity in circumstances where caution is required. You may be claiming knowledge and skills that you don't actually possess.You're probably afraid to examine a situation too closely or refuse to see what's right in front of your nose. Excessive caution can turn into paranoia. You refuse to listen to others, you receive or give bad advice. Sometimes this card means keeping a secret and the desire to hide something from others. The Reversed Hermit shows your disapproval of what is happening. He is compassionate and encourages you to dive into emotional experiences in order to find their source, hidden in the depths of the psyche or in the past. Sometimes it shows that you are simply forced to turn inward and gain a new understanding of the current situation.
Also, this card in an inverted position means a midlife crisis. No matter how old you really are, it speaks of a fear of old age and decrepitude. You can seek salvation in infantility or fall into childhood. The other extreme is that you become stuck in old ideas, habits, and outdated ideals. Attacks of irresistible nostalgia are possible, you act sanctimoniously or turn into a grump, intolerant of youth and the young - especially if you yourself are full of regrets about what has not come true. Sometimes the map speaks of genealogical research.
When projecting the inverted Hermit onto others, you see them as sophisticated but lonely. These are either picky grumblers and conservatives, or examples of personal integrity and wisdom. This card is an internal mentor and guide that helps you get rid of unnecessary projections and recognize your own strengths and weaknesses.
In terms of health, these are a variety of problems related to digestion. Also, this card can indicate all the problems of old age - from a decrease in former mobility to the loss of vision, hearing and the appearance of senile insomnia.
From a shamanic and magical point of view, the inverted Hermit is an alchemist, hermeticist, occult scientist or metaphysical bookstore owner. This is a psychopomp, a driver of souls. Nevertheless, both Waite and Crowley see in this card a hidden Persephone, the queen of Hades, who in winter sometimes escorts souls to another world, and in the spring leads them to rebirth.
Traditional Reversed Meanings: shy, reclusive, hermit, loner, misanthrope. Isolation, loneliness. Unsociability, gloominess, isolation. Fear. Excessive caution, imprudence. Inactivity. Immaturity, prematurity. Stupid, bad advice. Concealment, disguise, concealment. Chastity, poverty, silence.
