The Hermit is an extremely spiritual card and often has to do with institutions and large organizations — everything from bank to the entire Christian Church.  This card indicates spirituality even if you are an atheist.  It’s in whatever sense the word “spirit” makes sense to you, even if for you “spirit” equates to “emotion”.  You may be trying hard to figure out what the “truth” is about someone (or some matter), don’t feel that you have to do it all on your own.  Ask for help if you need it to gain different perspectives, more information and the like.  Just like with the Strength card, you may even more so be in the frame of mind that you need some time alone — don’t be afraid to take it.  Even if it’s just a five-minute walk aound the house so that you can clear your head.  This is also very much a card about “trying very hard to do the right thing.”  Just make sure that “doing the right thing” includes doing what is right for you personally, and not just worrying about the wants and needs of others.  Ritual of any sort will be helpful to you health-wise (and this includes activities like reading a book for an hour on Saturday).  Any health problems could be drawing your attention to a problem that is not in your body so much as in your life … for example, a bad back could indicate that you are carrying too much metaphorically speaking.  Take care of yourself.  It’s very likely that at this time a person will come into your life who is like a mentor or teacher, even if they don’t teach you directly.  You will still learn from them on several levels.  Honor the need that you may be having to withdraw to a degree from ordinary life — it won’t last forever.  You will soon be feeling much more social, so don’t push yourself now to be around a lot of people unless it is absolutely necessary.  You will likely emerge from this month feeling refreshed and renewed, particularly on a spiritual level.
