In Tarot I AM the Hermit Card #9.

In Tarot. I AM the Hermit. Card #9.
The Hermit represents the search for answers, and she will feel dissatisfied until she has completed this process. This is often a shadowy path representing the unknown. It is a journey that requires solitude and trust. However, it is never all dark along the way, as the Hermit is guided by the light of her intuition.

The Hermit's correlating number is nine - the number of termination and endings. Nine has significant meaning due to the fa
ct that it is the last single number in a sequence. This indicates the conclusion of a particular life cycle. After nine, we return to one, the number of individuality. A nine represents the end of a cycle and signifies the incorporation of all eight previous stages of development. Nine is the number of completion.

The path of the Hermit is one that requires courage and self-examination. Her Tarot card meaning refers to the process of letting go of traditional principles and trusting the unknown in order to evolve. She must be willing to detach from the comforts and familiarity she has become used to in order to grow in a new direction. Her journey is a lonely and uncertain one, as she examines the darker, more difficult aspects of herself with the ultimate goal of a deeper self understanding. The archetypal symbolism represented by the Hermit is the wise old person and teacher. She, at times, can appear in one’s dreams or in chance encounters. The Hermit is there to help point out meaning amongst chaos. She provides the clarity necessary to strive ahead even though our internal state is plagued with fear and trepidation. She is the light of a higher awareness and a translator of the greater universal message.
So, true!
