Ready for Love / Dating
Are you undecided about whether dating right now is a good idea or not? The Hermit asks you to step back several steps or even take a break for now. At this moment, it would probably be better for you to spend time with your friends and family, rather than trying to establish a romantic connection. It won't be this way forever; right now is just not the time.
Committed Relationship
It can be difficult to separate the energy that is yours and your partner's in a relationship. The Hermit reminds you to explore yourselves outside of the relationship. Do the things your partner never wants to do with you and enjoy them. Time apart can also help you have more confidence in decision-making.
Struggling Relationship
Someone must stop hindering the other partner. It's manipulative and destructive behavior that also damages the other person's self-esteem. Communication and cooperation are required. Start by compassionately stating the behavior and then take time to recover before returning to communicate with each other.
The End
The Hermit may seem like a straightforward card when it comes to ending a relationship. It's a solitary card; The Hermit doesn't fear being alone. They enjoy the space it provides them, as it allows them to dedicate time to things that were neglected during the relationship. Return to being with yourself; it's the most important relationship you're in.
Visual Description
A lone cloaked figure stands on a balcony, seen from behind, holding a small glowing lantern in their left hand while a taller streetlamp burns nearby. The cloak is pale with streaks of yellow and white, and a village of dark rooftops and scattered lights stretches below. In the distance low mountains silhouette beneath a dusk sky dotted with many hot-air balloons floating against a band of purple and orange sunset.
