The Hermit card is a meditative and restive card. If you are looking for ways to increase your fitness, try yoga, tai chi or long walks alone. Rest, relaxation, and especially sleep are vital to your health. Reduce the stress in your life, say a strong NO to obligations and busyness, and take care of yourself. Put your own needs first. It’s very common to use “busyness” as a way of avoiding our problems. Keeping ourselves “too busy” means we never have to deal with the fear, pain, and suck of life. The Hermit requires a different way. When you eliminate all of the busyness and sit with the problem, you will eventually find a new way of dealing with it. Yes, it’s uncomfortable, but the only way out is through.

Not much love here, but there’s plenty of lust. And lust can be good. As long as everyone involved is a consenting and willing adult and no one gets hurt (who doesn’t want to), there’s plenty of fun to be explored. Just be careful. And don’t let your kinks, fetishes, or whatevers take over your life or rule your happiness. When you’re in bondage to your desires, it can isolate you and separate you from others. And it’s so easy for shame, guilt, fear, and excess to slip in when you feel different, wrong, or embarrassed. Explore, express, and accept yourself – all of yourself – without shame. You can do this exploration within a relationship, within many relationships, or alone.

If you are single and looking for love, The High Priestess guides you to go within yourself to find what you really desire. Are you looking for a committed relationship with a true partner or some no-strings fun with a handful of wonderful people? Or a mix of both? All answers are perfectly okay, but only one of them is the right answer for you. In a relationship, The High Priestess calls for you to trust your “feminine” instincts. Be receptive to the love you are being given and give open-hearted love in return. In all relationships (not just romantic ones), keep the secrets you are given and don’t go blabbing or gossiping about somebody else’s business. Being a secret-keeper is an honor, so be worthy of that responsibility by keeping your pretty mouth shut.

The Empress births new projects in an abundant garden. But gardens take work. They don’t happen on their own. Be prepared to plant the seeds, tend your garden, and work for the harvest. She’ll provide the abundant harvest, but only with your desire, dedication, work and direction. The work doesn’t need to be drudgery (in fact, it shouldn’t be!), but The Empress only works when you do. This is a great card if you’re looking to start or grow a creative project, either professionally or as a side hustle. The Empress LOVES creativity and artistic endeavors.
