The Hermit as Feelings
When the Hermit appears in the feelings position in a tarot spread, it reveals that the person needs space to process their feelings, is withdrawn but thinking about you, is deeply contemplating the relationship, and is cautious about their emotions. This Major Arcana card, associated with the element of Earth, gives us profound insight into their emotional state.
The core of the Hermit's energy is introspection, solitude, inner guidance, wisdom, soul-searching, and contemplation. When someone feels this energy toward you, it colors every interaction and thought about your relationship.
What They Feel About You
The Hermit, as their feelings indicate, needs space to process their emotions. They are withdrawn but still thinking about you, deeply contemplating the relationship, and cautious in expressing their emotions. This isn't just a superficial emotion. It represents a profound energetic state that influences how this person thinks about you, behaves around you, and envisions the future of your relationship.
When this card appears, the person is likely processing these feelings deep within themselves, even if they haven't yet expressed them outwardly. The earth element in this card indicates that these emotions are stable and pragmatic.
The Hermit Reversed as Feelings
When the Hermit appears inverted in the emotional sphere, the emotional energy shifts toward isolation, loneliness, social withdrawal, excessive loneliness, fear of loneliness, and avoidance. The individual may experience blocked or internalized versions of these emotions. They may feel isolation, loneliness, social withdrawal, excessive loneliness, fear of loneliness, and avoidance, but may have difficulty openly expressing or processing these feelings.
How to Respond
Understanding that someone is feeling Hermit energy towards you can help you navigate your relationship more effectively. If these feelings are positive, create space to express them. If they are difficult, approach them with compassion and patience. Either way, honest communication is the best tool for mutual growth.
