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 He has withdrawn from the world not out of fear, but to seek deeper truth and understanding.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.
