Greetings Friends,
Let's take it down a notch, shall we? After staying strong through the emotional heat of Leo season, we are welcomed back to the Earth with Virgo and The Hermit. In readings, The Hermit calls us to retreat from the breakneck pace of modern life and take refuge in the stillness of our inner world.
In her endearing interpretation from The Wild Unknown Tarot, artist Kim Krans depicts The Hermit as a tortoise at home in its shell, illuminated by a single flame. As one of the oldest beings on Earth, the tortoise exemplifies the wisdom of staying grounded and taking it slow.
The Hermit is associated with the sign of Virgo, which is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. This tells us something about the internal process of the season. The Hermit is a seeker, a meditator, tirelessly analyzing its inner landscape, discerning what is useful, nourishing and true. As an Earth sign, Virgo knows that this work is best done by cutting out distractions and staying rooted in the present. It's this ability that allows the Hermit to bask in the beauty and fortune of their own inner light, their spiritual home, and invites you to do the same.
With peace and luminosity,
Lisa
