The Major Arcana card, the Hermit, is the image for humanity for this new moon. It seems fitting for this card to appear, considering winter is often a ripe time for soul searching and deep self-reflection. The Hermit represents creation, rebirth, awakening, and is a call to bring to light the inner wisdom of our souls. We’re being asked to retreat and/or set aside some solo time to find our inner light that will help guide our way. The info is beyond the rational intellect, and it may feel difficult to access and acknowledge our authentic selves. However, this is the beginning of a new year – one deemed by some as the “great awakening” – and the Hermit card depicts precisely that: an awakening within that leads to a new beginning.
