Individual Card Meanings

The Hermit

隱士

The Hermit stands alone on a mountain peak, holding a lantern to light the way. He has withdrawn from the world not out of fear, but to seek deeper truth and understanding. This card represents a time for introspection, solitude, and turning inward for guidance. The Hermit suggests stepping back from the noise of daily life to listen to your inner wisdom. It may indicate a need for spiritual retreat, mentorship, or simply quiet time to reflect on your path. The answers you seek cannot be found in the external world—they exist within you, waiting to be discovered in silence.

The Hanged Man

倒吊人

The Hanged Man hangs upside down from a tree, yet his expression is peaceful—a halo surrounds his head. This card represents voluntary sacrifice, suspended action, and seeing the world from a completely different perspective. Sometimes we must stop pushing forward and allow ourselves to hang in uncertainty. The Hanged Man teaches that surrender is not defeat; it is wisdom. By letting go of control and viewing your situation from a new angle, insights emerge that were invisible before. This is a time for patience, contemplation, and trusting that stillness has its own power.
