ARCANA IX
The talisman of the 9th Arcana in the form of a Lantern is a symbol of the Teacher-Mentor. A talisman in the form of a staff with 3 knots provides support in three planes of existence.
Description of the meaning of Arcana
The energy of this Arcana is connected with the Consciousness of the Ascended Masters. Magicians of the third level, conducting the energy of the 9th Arcana, are outside the physical world. These beings, whose consciousnesses reflect the whole world, are on a different energy level. This energy allows the human consciousness to contain the whole world and all the processes occurring in it. By changing the picture of the world in his mind, the Magician can change the real processes occurring in the world. This energy allows you to control events occurring in the world.
Description of the Angel Arcana
The angel of the ninth Arcana is the Wanderer. This is a hermit and ascetic traveling alone. The Angel's attributes are the Wanderer's staff and the Master's lamp. The Angel's face is hidden by the Cloak of Namelessness.
Action of Arcanum on the Body
This Arcanum tunes the Magician to conduct energy, which increases the frequency of the body and puts it into a special mode of functioning. Most microorganisms die in this mode. The body's immunity increases many times over. The body in this mode does not need material food, but is highly dependent on the information environment. To heal the body in this mode, the correct verbal formula is enough.
The effect of the Arcanum on the Situation
To change any situation with the help of the energies of the 9th Arcana, it is enough to imagine the necessary scenario for the development of future events. The Magician’s consciousness is able to change the life trajectory of any objects whose frequency is below the 9th Arcana. Here we are faced with the principle of Hierarchy: the consciousness of the Highest determines the existence of the lower ones.
Arcana Ritual
The Angel of Arcana meets the applicant on the Road and carries him along. The key to this ritual is the Path. The angel carries the adept along with him and hands him the Traveler's staff, the Master's Lamp and the cloak of the Unknown.
Siddha Arcana
The magician who conducts this energy has self-sufficiency and power over the world. Being outside of any events, he can control them. A magician who has this Siddha is outside the events of this world, but has power over them.
Using the energy of this Arcana
The energy of this Arcana is used to change the level of consciousness. This is the energy of Ascension.
Number 9 - "THE GREAT EMPTINESS"
Arcanum IX is a teaching about the affirmation and knowledge by man on the path of his existence of his individuality, about the independence and isolation of his manifested being.
Divine world - Absolute wisdom.
Mental plane. Highest Patronage. Mental Initiation as joining the Universal Man. Patronage and help of the Savior. The idea and image of the Patron Geniuses. Super-ego. Mental self-determination. Wisdom. Caution, forethought (initiation into the world of facts).
Astral plane. Astral Initiation. World Astral Man (Personality) as an Initiator. Initiation as a process of evolutionary work. Self-dedication is finding the Patron in oneself. Astral self-knowledge. Superstitions. Prejudice. Conventions. Mental harmony.
Physical plan. Initiation in the physical body. Nature as an Initiator.
Arcanum IX is depicted as an old man walking, leaning on a staff, and carrying in front of him a lit lantern, half hidden by him under his cloak. This old man personifies the experience acquired through working life. The lit lantern expresses the light of the mind, which should spread to the past, present and future. The cloak covering the lantern signifies caution, and the staff symbolizes the support given by prudence and caution to a person who does not want to divulge his thoughts.
“Remember, son of the Earth, that prudence is the weapon of the wise man. Prudence gives him the opportunity to avoid pitfalls and abysses and anticipate betrayal. Let prudence be your guide in all your actions, even the most insignificant ones. Nothing in the world should be indifferent: a pebble can set in motion the chariot of the ruler of the world. Remember that if the word is silver, then silence is golden.”
“When you see snow and flowers randomly falling from the Sky (flying snowflakes and dancing flowers) and the time has come to leave the Physical Body, then let the thought of leaving arise and direct it to the Great Emptiness.”
In this “Emptiness” a person finds himself alone and there is nothing around him. Here he will understand that he has his own Light, his own energy and that here he relies on his experience, on a huge amount of Knowledge. A person feels that he has his own World and can exist in it - this is SELF-SUFFICIENCY.
“EMPTY” is a barrier to our self-sufficiency, our loneliness, which keeps others at the distance necessary for our personality to live a free and fulfilling life. Everyone in the “Emptiness” is a self-absorbed, independent and completely unobtrusive individual. He expands to the edges of the horizon, and finds out that he himself is the container of everything, as if the entire Universe is contained inside him. A man inside himself discovers an interlocutor - his Teacher, who introduces him to the World of Zatomis. The first thing a person will be able to see is violet and gold energy, and will hear the sound of melodic bells - “crimson ringing”. Visual sensations may appear: tropical twilight; the river along which the lunar path runs; bamboo thickets and walking celestials.
QUINTENSENCE- perfect substance, ideal matter of the Space between the 3rd and 4th dimensions, this is the first matter that arose when the Divine Fire of the Mind breathed life into the previously reigning Chaos. This is the “Great Emptiness”, AMENTI - “Womb of the Earth”. Amenti is located at a depth of 1832 km, below the surface of the earth.
"Everyone must enter into his mother, who is the prima materia, in order to gain eternity." “Visit the depths of the earth and, having purified yourself, you will find the secret Stone.”
PRIMAMATER contains all possible properties and qualities; it contains the potentiality of all things and phenomena. It remains unchanged under any circumstances. Primary matter is a natural substance containing sulfur, mercury and philosophic salt (symbolic elements); all substances are composed of them, but in different proportions, which is why some bodies are more perfect than others. This matter potentially possesses all the qualities and properties of elementary things; it contains within itself the material beginning and end of everything, the quintessence called the “bird of Hermes.” This is the germ of all things, the original moisture. Materia Prima in the state of distant matter is called the Raw Material of the Sages. She is a rough mineral extracted from the mine; becoming an object of alchemical transformations, an object of Work, it becomes nearby matter.
“If Nature had made better use of this matter in the “Womb of the Earth” and if she had not mixed it with dirt, then she would have been the Holy Sun and the Moon.”
That part of the Lower Manas which retains its purity forms the AntahKarana. After death, the higher Light (AntahKarana), which carries the impressions and memory of all good and noble aspirations, is assimilated by the Higher EGO, while the bad is separated in the Space of the Lower Astral and returns in the form of bad Karma, awaiting the person in the next incarnation. The purpose of Lower Manas is to dissipate the properties of the material form in the Astral. The lower EGO has the power to drive away sins and increase good deeds through the AntahKarana.
The following senses or qualities of mind are required to enter the Star Gate:
Love,
Truth, Beauty,
Trust, Harmony, Peace,
Reverence for God
The meaning of the number Nine
Lotus Temple
As for the symbolism, it is based mainly on the Greatest Name of God. Islam says that God has many names, one of which is the Greatest, and it is hidden from humanity. Baha'u'llah revealed this name to us - Baha (emphasis on the second "a"). Translated from Arabic (which became the language of the last three Divine Revelations) this means “glory”, “greatness”, “splendor”, “brilliance”, “radiance”, “beauty”.
In Arabic (as in many others), each letter has a numerical correspondence; therefore, each word also corresponds to a certain number. For the word "Baha" this is the number 9, which is why it is considered sacred by the Baha'is, and one of the symbols of the Baha'i Faith is a nine-pointed star (and therefore temples have a nine-sided plan). See Baha'i Faith.

The number nine in the alchemical process denotes absolute Truth (3x3), - here the Lord descends to people (Descent - Avatarati), unites with them and shows them the path of Ascension.

NUMBER 9
I am Nine, the incomprehensible, the most powerful of all numbers. I am intangible, I like to hide and prefer to avoid energies that want to give me form in accordance with their laws. I have my own laws, and I do not allow myself to be criticized.
I am stronger than the Eight, who believes that she can afford everything, and wiser than the Six, whose promiscuity I can remind. I carry within me a premonition of Chaos, but I do not succumb to it. I prefer to act secretly, I love solitude, from where I coolly observe the bustle of others. I use their energies and control them. Anyone who wants to get to know me should come to me. Anyone who wants to understand me must learn to see what is hidden from view.
I often hear the One complaining about Chaos, from which she herself comes, and I know that she does this because incomprehensibility does not allow herself to be controlled and eludes her power claims. The unit does not understand anything, because it wants to receive and hold. I know that nothing remains as it is now. Movement turns into stagnation, dominance into slavery, understanding into amazement.
Chaos poses countless riddles for everyone. I solve them and thereby bring relief from thirst. I am a teacher for everyone. I teach a Unit of tolerance, a Two - independence, a Three - renunciation, a Four - ease, a Five - looseness, a Six - modesty, a Seven - secrecy, and an Eight - love. Although I share much with the Three and the Six, I have to carry out my work alone, fully aware that upon completion it must return to where it came from: into Chaos.
I know very well that all numbers, some to a greater extent, some to a lesser extent, have distrust towards me, since they probably feel that I am forced to feed on their energy, not being able to independently generate my own. But in reality, I only manage this modest, often against the will, contribution given to me, so that one day - when the end of the world comes, and they have all exhausted their energies - by paying back what was lent, I will give them the opportunity to return to where they come from: to Chaos. But until then, I will demand my share from everyone who approaches me, not to rob, but to ensure that the quintessence is preserved and the memory is not dispelled.
I control ideas and forms.
I AM NINE!
Positive traits:
Impressive, intuitive, imaginative, impulsive, artistic, idealistic, willing to sacrifice oneself for others.
Negative qualities:
Distancing, prone to mania, grumpy, unpredictable, hypocritical, unable to navigate.
Birth number 9
The gift of understanding and empathy associated with the "nine" allows you to lead the cosmic parade of vibrations. The number “9” is the number of metaphysics and philosophy, and you, obeying your nature, will turn to the occult sciences more than once in your life. You may even have experiences of an unusual nature that will take you to the level of supersensible perception. One way or another, you will find yourself in the grip of mysticism. The knowledge gained from your experiences and the study of the subject will make you wiser, and you will be able to find an explanation for any vicissitudes of life. You need to travel just like you need to breathe. But if a temporary change from your usual home environment is enough for someone, you need more. Change shapes your character and broadens your horizons, so that you gain the ability to understand the traditions of all countries and peoples, and learn the empathy and tolerance necessary to be a peacemaker.
Nine
NINE - formal harmony with hidden antagonism; internal crisis, preparation for a development leap; spiritual profanation, ritual.
A comment.
9 = 32 - the second level of embodiment of the harmonious three, now not at the (first) level of ideas, but in partially spiritualized living matter. Nine is a sign of an upcoming crisis and a qualitative leap before the completion of the third level, expressed in ten by the emergence of self-awareness of the spirit (for example, a religious person). Nine is cosmic harmony, formed in spiritualized matter, not prepared for this, and therefore containing within itself an unresolved antagonistic conflict. This conflict is resolved only in the ten, and by the nine it is perceived as insoluble, but is carefully camouflaged by its external harmony. Nine appears to be absolutely self-sufficient, harmonious and passive, although in reality it represents the idea of transition, crisis and a leap in development. The symbol of nine is a self-sufficient, self-absorbed pregnancy. The internal reason for the hidden conflicts of the nine is that it is the second highest level of manifestation of the harmony of the three, in which each of the three elements that make up the three gave birth to two more, which immediately entered into antagonism (see figure). Nine, like eight, is deprived of a direct channel into the subtle plane and represents the maximum achievable harmony of the world, which has indirect connections with a higher plane, but is trying to build its own harmony without them. This is the ideal of formal methods (eg materialistic science), while the figure of eight is the reality of formal methods. Thus, the internal antagonism of the nine is due to the impossibility of an adequate harmonious embodiment of the spirit (at this, that is, the third, level of its manifestation), being at the same time an attempt to ignore this circumstance and build the harmony of partially spiritualized matter, so to speak, by the means available. However, the internal contradictions of the nine are not at all obvious; it claims to be perfect as it is, and pretends that these contradictions are nothing more than simply the forces contained within it, which can be turned to further development and improvement. This, however, is not the case. Firstly, the nine symbolizes (as if) the harmony that has already been achieved, and she does not want to develop anywhere and, in her opinion, is not necessary, and secondly, her internal contradictions are antagonistic, that is, she cannot reconcile them, and they sting painfully her from the inside. This is, therefore, a pregnant woman, completely closed in on herself and completely comfortable with herself; she absolutely does not want to give birth to a child, and she pretends that she is not going to do this, at the same time feeling the temporary nature of her situation and feeling the internal harbingers of the inevitably coming crisis, that is, childbirth: uncontrollable mood swings, toxicosis, etc.
9=8+1 - having received perfect tools that model subtle ones, but still deprived of a direct spiritualizing channel into the subtle plane, nine builds harmony in the primarily spiritualized world, ignoring this spirituality. Therefore, it builds precisely formal harmony, which is fraught with destruction or a breakthrough upward. Image: a musician polishing his technique, ignoring the plane of spiritual love, that is, working on Vishuddha in addition to Anahata.
9=7+2 - polarization of the vertical channel into a more subtle plane gives large shifts at the horizontal level, but leads to the emergence of internal contradictions that are insoluble at this level.
9=6+3 - perfect forms of life, clothed in harmony on the plane of spirituality, acquire strong internal contradictions, but retain external isolation.
9=5+4 - materialization of life at the primary spiritual level gives it forms that are formally harmonious, but lack the possibility of direct development. 9=4+5 - life transforms inert forms into perfect ones, but still only potentially spiritual.
9=3+6 - perfect life, rising on a harmonious basis, acquires contradictions and retains only external harmony, since now it lacks a direct spiritual channel.
9=2+7 - the spiritual channel materializes the idea of confrontation, creating a perfect primary spiritual substance that preserves antagonism within itself - a religious or magical rite. Nine is outwardly harmonious and self-sufficient, it seems to itself and many others an unattainable ideal, but it is absolutely passive, immersed in itself and there it is torn apart by contradictions that are poorly understood by it. Claims to be complete spirituality, while at the same time strictly profaning all its real manifestations in others.

Number 9 in the psychomatrix
The number 9 in the psychomatrix is responsible for the mind, memory and clairvoyance of a person. Why this particular number? It follows the number 8, and its characteristic must be related to the meaning of this number. Eight is responsible for duty towards loved ones, especially parents. Naturally, people experience the death of their parents, and it is for this case that the number 9 is intended. After the death of parents, the duty passes into a new quality; it is necessary to remember them, and therefore the number 9 is responsible for memory. When we talk about a person, about his abilities, then, as a rule, assessing his memory, we make a conclusion about the strength of his mind: “He knows so much (we mean: remembers), which means he is an intelligent person.” It’s worth arguing about this, because it was not for nothing that our great Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov said: “Omniscience does not teach intelligence.”
Many (See) nines appeared in the psychomatrix. This means that the characteristic of memory must give way to a new quality for which nines are responsible - clairvoyance. Let's try to figure out the process of clairvoyance itself. Two types of clairvoyance can be distinguished. Firstly, if a person has strong energy (22 or more), then he can join the information field. It is accessible to him due to his strong memory, since the quantity of information remembered must turn into quality. Information accumulated over many generations must be organized, but it must not disappear from the information field. That is why entry into it is allowed only to those who have a strong memory and energy.
If a person has many nines in the psychomatrix, but weak energy (no more than one two), then we can talk about comparative clairvoyance, when he selects a similar situation from his memory and makes an assumption about the completion of the present event. Such clairvoyance does not have much reliability.
Clairvoyance dispels a person’s memory, sometimes tearing him away from reality. Clairvoyants entering the information field may be mistaken in their predictions, since they are able to see (or realize) the outline of an event, its vague silhouette. Sometimes they cannot determine the end time, but they know how the situation will end.
Clairvoyance is more strongly represented by the signs "9999 or 99999". In this case, they talk about the sign of the prophet, when almost all of a person’s predictions come true with a high degree of accuracy.
If your child has this sign, then know that you have a huge responsibility for revealing the clairvoyant. How can such a disclosure be made?
The main thing is that it is necessary to highlight the range of his interests and direct him to his own improvement in this area. As soon as his potential in mastering this area of knowledge reaches a sufficiently high level, a qualitative change in the situation will occur, the person will gain access to the information field where information from all people with a similar interest has been accumulated. As soon as a person first receives information, in a dream or vision, it is necessary to begin to compile his dictionary of symbols that will appear in the dreams or visions. Very often, a strong clairvoyant or prophet suffers from the fact that he cannot understand the meaning of the information that appears in a dream - the information is encoded in symbols or images. You should not resort to the help of various dream interpreters; it is best to create your own dream book, which more accurately reflects the essence of possible events. The main thing is to learn to believe and trust your own premonitions, dreams, visions, sensations. If a child has these qualities, then trust him, he knows a lot.

ASTROLOGY
Ninth House
The ninth house represents the third phase of the development of the self: its ideal, that is, what a person would like to be. The question of the ideal of the ninth house (conscious and subconscious) is far from simple, in particular because it must be oriented towards the reality existing around a person, and a person often cannot answer the question: “How will my ideal behave in this situation?” give no answer other than the bitter confession: “He should never hit it.” Thus, the ideal of the “I” of the ninth house is a practical ideal, that is, an image designed to exist in the very reality in which a person lives.
However, a person tends to repress the most unpleasant moments of his life, especially when forming his ideal, so the latter often lives in a more cultured and pure environment than the person himself, and this is wrong, since one should constantly correct one’s behavior by turning to the ideal, and especially in those moments when you least want it - so that the lower principle, released into freedom, does not so openly celebrate its existence.

Hermit – IX Major Arcana
Astrologically, the Hermit corresponds to the planet Saturn in Aquarius, which symbolizes the desire to gain independence and wisdom.
This Arcanum has several names: Hermit, Seeker, Sage, Prophet of Eternity.
Description of the Arcana
The Arcana depicts an old man with gray hair. He is dressed in a cloak that covers his head and completely envelops the old man's entire body. His gaze is concentrated, but it is no longer directed at the path itself, but as if inward. This is an old man, wise by experience and who has comprehended the truth, who has realized his place in life. He consciously broke away from society and decided to follow his path alone.
In many decks, the Hermit’s path flows through a sandy desert, symbolizing his renunciation of society. In the Tarot of the Age of Aquarius, the sage passes through the rocky mountains, making his way through them. Here the symbolism is somewhat deeper, since the mountains are obstacles that the old man does not seem to notice. They do not block his path; he easily leaves the mountains behind him.
In some decks, the old man walks with his head bowed, but he did not bow it to watch the road. He bowed her down so as not to notice unnecessary details in his way. In the Age of Aquarius Tarot, the old man's head is held high. He is able to look forward without leaving his inner contemplation.
The old man holds a lantern in his hands, emitting light and illuminating his way. The lantern is lit even on a sunny day, for this lantern is supported by the fire of Universal knowledge, the fire of truth. The lantern burns continuously, despite the sun behind the old man, for this is a special lantern, fueled by life experience and a wealth of knowledge.
With one hand the old man leans on a strong staff. It is a tool to help him follow his path. The staff is as strong as the elder is strong in his experience, for the staff symbolizes all the life achievements of the Hermit. Only by illuminating his soul with the inner light of truth can he illuminate the people around him.
In some decks, you can see seven knots on the staff, which symbolize the chakra centers of a person, seven bodies. This reminds us of the deep connection between two worlds - the lower and the Higher. This connection is realized only by the person himself through conscious solitude and turning to his inner world.
The old man follows the path alone and in complete silence. His face is peaceful, he is comfortable alone with himself, because he is looking for the path to God, and this path must take place in solitude and contemplation. He seeks God not in the external world, but within himself, turning to his wisdom and to his inner Self.
The sacred meaning of the Arcana Hermit
The deep meaning of the Arcanum is determined by its central figure - an old man who has collected in himself all the wisdom that a person receives during the passage of his earthly Path. This image contains the characteristics of a successful Student, Master, Mentor, Monk who has touched the Truth, a Sage who was able to comprehend knowledge and come to self-harmony.
He left society, having received his lessons from it, he moves along his Path in solitude, which brings him satisfaction. This is the natural state of a person who has learned to draw knowledge from everywhere. The hermit is fed up with society and needs peace. But this peace is in no way similar to the state of rest and tranquility. He moves forward, leaning on his staff and illuminating his path with a small, but very bright for him, lantern.
There is no image on the Arcana of the road along which the Hermit moves. This is a very important symbol that reveals the deep meaning of the Arcanum: the sage does not need the beaten path that others have already paved - this is someone else’s experience, and no matter how good it is, it will always remain alien.
The hermit himself makes his own way, using his staff to explore the road hidden from him. Every step he takes, every blow of his staff on the ground is a new experience in the treasury of his wisdom. He walks with his head down, but he does not choose the direction, he is guided by inner wisdom and the light that was given to him from above for refusing social benefits in the name of self-improvement.
The hermit is wrapped in a durable cloak, which serves as reliable cover while moving. This cloak symbolizes asceticism - the renunciation of earthly pleasures and remaining in simplicity, which fully satisfies all his needs. He has already passed the path of excesses, and his experience has led to the fact that one can be content with little in order to obtain the great - knowledge.
The cloak not only protects from all weather conditions, but it also separates the sage from the outside world. It helps him concentrate within himself, shielding him from other people’s statements and opinions, false values and beliefs, and prejudices. He must listen to himself and comprehend.
In front of him the sage carries a lamp, with the help of which he illuminates his path. It carries several concepts. The main concept is the light of knowledge; it does not go out, but only flares up with experience. The longer the Hermit's journey, the brighter the light of his lamp.
At the beginning of his Path, this lamp had a meager glow; there was enough oil in it, but this oil did not flare up immediately. Oil is a symbol of human consciousness, the ability to think and comprehend. Fire is the divine principle that lies in truth. Its gradual comprehension gives the brightness of the lamp’s fire. By igniting the darkness of ignorance, truth brings light. Having gained experience, the hermit gained the ability to light a light in the darkness.
The hermit follows the path, relying on his staff - his life experience. This staff connects him with the material world from which the Hermit draws experience. This is a symbol of realism. Only by touching existing reality with his staff can the Hermit continue to walk along his Path. He abandoned society, but did not abandon the material world.
It is important to note that the Hermit on the Arcana can be depicted either in a rocky desert or in a sandy one. She says that this person is detached and does not experience the emotions that the world around him usually causes. He is inwardly focused.
Mythological correspondence of the Hermit
Vivid and indicative for understanding Arkan is the legend of Diogenes, who deliberately left society, limiting himself to a barrel. He preferred asceticism, which was based on Nature itself, proving to all humanity that wisdom can be acquired without society, it is enough to turn within oneself.
Diogenes escaped from society, but this escape was not from people, not from the surrounding reality. This escape was from authorities imposing their understanding of the truth on him. He chose to be left alone with his inner nature, preferring to walk the path to the Truth himself.
The meaning of the direct Hermit in the reading
Most often, in layouts, the Hermit means an elderly person, or a person wise by experience, whom Arkan recommends turning to for advice. This can be either a man or a woman. Nearby maps will help you determine your identity. You should not refuse this help.
In some cases, in layouts, this Arcanum warns a person that he will face a period of forced loneliness, which should be used for self-improvement. A person will close himself off from external influences and find peace. This period will not bring him discomfort, and loneliness will even be pleasant for him. This is the moment when a person wants to be alone, and this opportunity falls to him.
Arcanum can be a warning to maintain some secrecy and caution in communicating with people. A person needs time to collect his thoughts and put them in order, because these thoughts may not be shared by those around him, and with their opinions they can lead a person astray. This time should be used to re-evaluate your connections, circle of acquaintances and friends, and develop new rules for relationships.
A hermit may be saying that a person is going through a period when he needs to think about spiritual things. Very often at this time a wise person appears nearby and takes on the role of a mentor or guide along the spiritual path. The hermit may also signify the appearance of a mentor or teacher in worldly affairs.
Arkan advises turning to your insight and listening more to your intuition. Personal experience is very important here, which can help in resolving any issue.
The hermit indicates that a person is experiencing restrictions in the financial sphere, but he will try to understand what is happening, which will allow him to find a way out quite easily. Under no circumstances should you become despondent; you just need to carefully assess the situation, and maybe even contact a specialist.
The meaning of the inverted Hermit in the reading
The inverted Hermit speaks of loneliness, but this loneliness is painful for a person; both circumstances and people push him towards it. A person strives to renounce loneliness, but he fails, which leads him to despondency, followed by emotional outbursts.
Sometimes this card can indicate that a person himself is personally closing himself off from society, turning himself into a victim in order to arouse pity. Thus, he tries to attract attention to himself, most often from close people. He ultimately manages to attract the attention of a person who will lead him out of difficult circumstances. This essentially reverses the Arcana.
The hermit appears in the scenario for people who agreed to voluntary seclusion, but made a kind of ritual out of it, turning their internal seclusion into an ideal state for themselves. During this period, those around them cannot “reach out” to the person, and he persists in his seclusion.
This Arcanum can talk about the illusory nature of ideals, which occurred due to insufficient external information. A person’s problems arise due to an incorrect and shallow assessment of the situation, and a reluctance to understand the true reasons.
As in the upright position, the inverted Hermit speaks of financial limitations, but in this case the person is not able to cope with the situation due to his limited views and failure to include a wise adviser in his life. He is left alone with his problem and revels in his unhappy situation.
Direction of self-development
For self-development, this Arcanum predicts a very difficult period of self-assessment and revision of all life ideals. This period will only be effective if the person manages to remain alone. A person must renounce the outside world and withdraw into himself.
The hermit says that a person has to take advantage of his own experience and turn it into knowledge. It is very important to note that you will only have to learn from your own mistakes, since other people's mistakes will always remain someone else's experience. Here it is important not to follow someone’s opinion, but to listen to your inner self.
Self-development under the influence of the Hermit is very pronounced in a person who is fussy and sociable by nature. He will have to completely change the way of his life in order to correctly go through this stage of self-development. He is forced to face greater restrictions than a calm and reasonable person by nature, who tends to be more alone.
Very often, such people perceive this period as punishment or even as an insult due to the forced limitation of their social circle. In this case, a person needs to accept the situation and take advantage of his loneliness, otherwise, instead of self-development, he will cherish his resentment, turning a straight Arcana into an inverted one.
For a believer, this card may indicate the need for restrictions in everything, for example, strict fasting. During this period, you need to devote more time to your spirituality and strengthening your faith.
The goal of self-improvement under the influence of the Hermit is to gain calm in any situation, curb emotions, the ability to correctly accept restrictions and deprivations, and the ability to accumulate life experience. A person must learn secrecy, but not isolation. This is a period when a person is required to skillfully combine deep experiences with knowledge of himself and the world as a whole. Knowledge is precisely through deep inner experiences, since this is the only way he can find the road to his spirituality.
A person has to take the path of comprehending the original wisdom of the world order, he must understand the logic of reason. In fact, during this period a person gains experience in controlling his consciousness, learns the sequence and pattern of everything that happens in the material world with him and not only with him. This is the period of gaining wisdom, the period of entering another, deeper stage of your life.
The inverted Hermit indicates that his emotional state has been subjected to stress in the recent past and that the person is currently in voluntary confinement. This confinement has a very detrimental effect on him, since it does not contribute to his development at all, but only cultivates fears and resentments.
Self-improvement under the influence of the inverted Hermit should be aimed at returning the Arcanum to an upright position and following further along the path of self-development. In order for this to happen, a person must stop reveling in his loneliness and find every opportunity to attract a wise person into his life. He can become a mentor for him on the path of self-improvement. When the card is reversed, you cannot follow the chosen path, because it is wrong.
If the upright card indicates asceticism, then the inverted one speaks of excesses that can have a detrimental effect on human development. In this case, Arkan requires a person to change their lifestyle by creating a number of restrictions. Moreover, a person must do this on his own, because the System will lead him to this decision through pain, trouble and forced restrictions.
Job
In relation to work, Arkan covers two areas. Firstly, the Hermit always talks about financial limitations. In this situation, a person needs to rely only on his own strength. This is evidenced by both the straight and inverted Arcana.
In the direct position of the Arcana, a person is given time to rethink the situation, which makes it possible to turn it around. You can find some additional sources of income, you can reorient your business, open new directions. You can change your job or open your own business. These actions are always based on a thorough “debriefing”, working on mistakes and using experience.
The main thing in such a situation is the secrecy of all plans and ideas. A person must come to a decision himself and he can voice it only when the time comes to act. This card can also appear if a person anticipates secrecy in the people with whom he will have to work, or in the concealment of some information. Arkan recommends refusing such cooperation, canceling a dubious deal, and breaking off business relations with a dishonest person.
The second aspect of the Hermit suggests that a person may appear in life who will take on the role of a mentor, and he will not teach the basics, but will simply introduce the right people to the circle, attract necessary events into life, and share the subtleties gained in the process of his own successful business.
An inverted Arcanum in the work position will indicate financial difficulties and restrictions, but in this case the person will face a vain “sprinkling of ashes on his head,” self-deprecation, and a slide into even greater poverty due to erroneous plans to get out of the situation. For example, he may take out an additional loan, putting himself into even greater debt, or he may buy outdated equipment that will be very expensive to maintain. He may simply be deceived during calculations due to a careless choice of partners.
A person may experience a prolonged period of financial difficulties due to the fact that he talks about his plans ahead of time. In this case, ill-wishers or competitors may “steal” his idea or “put a spoke in the wheels” so that his plans cannot be realized.
With the Hermit reversed, a person becomes unwilling to compromise with his business partners; he becomes extremely suspicious of the actions of his partners, trying to find hidden motives in their actions. This makes him become bitter and withdraw into himself even more, focusing on the negativism of the situation.
To get out of the situation, you need to attract a wise person into your life, and such an opportunity exists. Everything is complicated by the fact that a person is simply not able to let someone into his business, experiencing mistrust and the desire to do everything himself. Having stepped over his negative fabrications at this moment, a person is able to first turn over the Arcanum, and then, relying on his wisdom, find the right way out of the current state.
It must be said that rethinking with the Hermit reversed even speeds up the exit period.
Personal relationships
In personal relationships, this Arcanum can show several aspects. First of all, the Hermit will indicate loneliness. For an already lonely person, the card does not promise new meetings, but the period of loneliness itself is given to rethink one’s worldview related to relationships. Such a period will end exactly when a person understands that loneliness was given to him for some reason and stops violently breaking the situation. The new person will find it himself.
For people in a union, the Hermit indicates that both partners are “lonely together.” They are complete strangers, they have learned to do without each other, they only live in the same room, while each is immersed in himself. Such relationships do not burden them; they give them a certain freedom, and the couple appreciates it, not wanting to lose it. It is this freedom that makes their union strong.
A hermit can show a lonely person, but not seeking to start a new relationship. He has already gained experience in the union, and at the moment the time has come for him to enjoy his loneliness. When this Arcana falls on a possible partner, it means that it will be very difficult to build a relationship with such a person. If a love relationship is at least somehow possible, then marriage is out of the question.
If the card is laid out for marriage, then the Arcanum says that the union has already been very long, and love has been replaced by a phase of mutual respect. It is possible that in order to preserve this union, people had to sacrifice something very important, which leaves an imprint on their entire life together. If this is a young union, then Arkan will say that people will be together for a very long time, even despite the nature of the relationship.
The inverted Hermit, like the upright one, has several aspects. If we consider a lonely person, then we can say that his loneliness lasts for a long time. But if in the upright position of the Arcanum a person has the opportunity to understand the reasons and try to change them, then in the inverted position he is overwhelmed by emotions and grievances. He will not be able to get out of this situation on his own.
Some wise person - a friend or even a psychologist - can help him find a way out. Neighboring cards can show whether such a person currently exists. In fact, in this position of the Hermit there can be no talk of marriage, since in order to find a partner, it is necessary to radically change the attitude towards oneself, first of all, and towards others.
If the inverted Arcanum falls on an alliance, then it says that the alliance will most likely be dissolved due to a complete reluctance to understand and hear each other. In such a union, selfishness on the verge of egocentrism can often be traced in one or two partners at once. Such partners are focused only on themselves and focus exclusively on their own interests.
If cards of deception lie next to the inverted Hermit - V inverted (Pope, Hierophant), XV upright (Devil) or XVII in any position (Moon) - this indicates the presence in this union of hidden negative aspects associated with perversions - sadism, sexual depravity , masochism.
Personality characteristics
A person who is characterized by a Hermit stands out from his environment. Despite the fact that this person is very wise, reasonable, has a serious amount of knowledge and logical thinking, he most often withdraws and does not strive for social communication.
Very often, the moment of personality transition to the IX Arcanum is accompanied by bewilderment of others regarding his behavior. A sociable and very “social” person, completely unexpectedly for those around him, becomes an introvert, closed in on himself and his experiences. He moves further and further from society, tries to spend more and more time alone, avoids communication even with those with whom he preferred to communicate most often.
For the person himself, this period is very serious: he reflects on the events taking place in his life, trying to turn everything into life experience.
The character traits inherent in the Hermit person are prudence, the ability to manage one’s emotions. Such a person has the ability to influence other people, but will never impose his advice, but will express his point of view only when he is asked for it. He does not try to forcibly change a person, but only provides assistance to those who wish.
Under the influence of the Hermit, a person’s character develops a penchant for philosophizing and global thinking. He begins to listen to little things, seeing importance in them. He thinks more about his spirituality, pushing material benefits into the background.
An inverted Arcanum indicates that a person falls out of society, but, as a rule, he chooses this line of behavior in order to blackmail the people he needs. These people are trying to pull him out of the cocoon he created, and at such moments he begins to bargain for some benefits for himself.
A hermit in an inverted form leaves a negative imprint on a person’s character. The personality becomes hostile to others, seems unspiritual and completely short-sighted, unscrupulous and corrupt. According to this Arcanum, there may be a person who lives in an illusory world filled with some false ideals and goals.
Such a person is characterized by excessive caution or pathological secrecy. Such people are prone to various manifestations of paranoia. These qualities also leave an imprint on behavioral characteristics. He plagues people with his mistrust and can persecute a person whom he suspects of having a negative attitude towards himself. The result is always complete loneliness, even forced seclusion.
Very often, a person under the influence of an inverted Hermit experiences self-pity, finding the whole world around him hostile and unfair. He believes that no one loves him and everyone is trying to hurt him. He is very suspicious, sensitive to any word addressed to him, and this separates him even more from people.
Health
When viewing a person’s health using the Tarot Arcana, you need to clearly determine the depth and importance of the issue, since the chosen alignment will depend on this. If the question is superficial, from the “healthy/unhealthy” category, then you can get an answer from one Major Arcana, upright or inverted. This is a view of the general condition of the body.
If you are interested in the processes occurring in the body, then you should lay out two Arcana, the first of which will show a specific organ, and the second will indicate its functioning.
If the issue of human health is extremely important, then it is necessary to resort to the most complete and detailed alignment of the chakra system. This alignment is done with great concentration, the question is asked for each chakra and the adjustment is made to the chakra to which the Arcanum is pulled. Fortune telling is done only with the Major Arcana, but the entire deck can participate when it is necessary to clarify the answers.
General state
When viewing the general health of the Hermit, it indicates the presence of chronic diseases. In the upright position, Arkan indicates that the person’s chronic diseases are in an inactive stage, he feels quite well, but the threat of exacerbation is always present. This indicator is only for young people for whom the alignment is made.
The direct Hermit will show an elderly person that all processes in his body are proceeding normally according to his age.
In an inverted position, the Hermit indicates exacerbations of chronic diseases. In rare cases, when an exacerbation is asymptomatic and looks like a general malaise, you can decipher the Arcana to understand what kind of disease we are talking about.
Ongoing processes
When the Hermit falls into two Arcana in the first position in the layout, then in the upright position we can talk about the natural processes of aging of organs and the body as a whole. The reversed Arcana gives the same information.
The second position of the Hermit will show the presence of a chronic disease associated with the organ, which the Arcanum will tell about in the first position. An upright card will indicate the attenuation stage, and an inverted one will indicate the exacerbation stage.
Chakra diagnostics
A hermit falling on a certain chakra indicates that the organs that belong to it are susceptible to chronic diseases. A direct card indicates that the disease is not currently manifesting itself and is in remission. The inverted Arcanum says that the disease is going through an exacerbation stage.
Separately, it is necessary to say about the Hermit who fell on Muladhara. In this position, the card will show that the body has lost energy, is in the stage of severe physical fatigue, it immediately needs rest, otherwise the body will experience an acceleration of the aging process. This is shown by both an upright and an inverted card, but an inverted one indicates the criticality of the situation.
Layout for the situation
In situation scenarios, the Hermit recommends turning to a knowledgeable person, since you most likely will not be able to find a way out of the situation on your own. This can be either a wise comrade or an expert in the relevant field.
If there are “heavy” cards of the Minor Arcana next to the Hermit, then the layout gives a direct instruction to exercise caution and prudence in this situation, and the Knight of Swords warns of a serious threat. With adjacent cards depicting people, the person must show secrecy.
Very often, the Hermit adjacent to the Wheel of Fortune reports that the situation is dragging on for a very long period. The way out of such a suspended state can only be found by learning to calmly accept everything that happens. The whole scenario as a whole will tell you in which direction to look for help.
If the situation is dependent on money, Arkan says that the financial situation is too limited to fully resolve this situation. The Arcana lying nearby will help you find a way out of it. They will tell you in which direction to look.
At the everyday level, the map shows restrictions, and, as a rule, these are restrictions in everything - a small amount of money, the inability to get a job or purchase a necessary thing. The lasso can show the lack of friends, good company, the inability to travel and meet, poor health, physical and psychological fatigue.
A person comes to the need for rational planning, a serious revision of his way of life, and withdrawal into solitude. He will try to solve his problems on his own, constantly facing increasing restrictions.
A reversed card shows that a person has a chance to change the situation by accepting wise advice from a competent person. But the problem is that a person will either seek advice from a rather superficial person and receive advice that is not very suitable for the situation, or he will misuse wise advice. In any case, you need to look for an assistant very carefully and learn to see superficial judgments or hidden motives in a person’s advice.
In the case of an inverted Hermit, proximity to the “heavy” Arcana will show everything the same as in the case of the upright one, but the situation is aggravated by the emotional state of the person. He, driven by grievances and discontent, will neglect the advice he needs, sometimes even because of demonstrative contradictions.
At the everyday level, a person expects a number of losses. This can be monetary losses, separation from friends, even fatal quarrels that lead a person to complete loneliness. This Arcanum will also show a car accident with significant damage and the need for large repair costs, especially if the XVI Arcanum (Tower) appears in the scenario.
Card of the day
As a card of the day, the Hermit recommends staying at home and not going out anywhere. He advises spending this day rethinking your plans, relationships, reactions to people, lines of behavior, and analyzing situations that have been giving him anxiety lately.
The lasso gives a direct indication of the need for privacy, because on this day it is extremely important that no outsiders influence the opinion. Life requires you to begin to be aware of what is happening and learn to figure things out on your own.
It is important to understand that the internal audit carried out on this day will determine the position of the next Arcana - the Wheel of Fortune. It will depend on this day whether the Wheel will lift a person upward, or whether he will find himself at a point moving downward.
The inverted Hermit on the card of the day shows that no matter how stubborn a person is, he will still remain alone on this day. The reason for such loneliness will be his own behavior, which will be negatively assessed by others.
By and large, the inverted Arcanum also advises staying at home if possible. It is better to go into conscious solitude for a day than to face forced solitude for a while. On this day, a person’s emotional background is too heightened, he is easily excitable, which can lead to disastrous incontinence, which has very painful consequences.
Card of the Year
The Direct Hermit on the map of the year says that by now the person has already understood himself quite thoroughly and is entering a period of balanced actions according to a new plan. Quite often during this period a person turns away from his usual society, deliberately remaining alone. But society also ceases to accept such a person, not sharing his new views or understanding his new image.
A person should not worry about the upcoming changes. He needs them. During the year, new friends and business partners may appear who will bring a lot of positive things to life. A person should perceive the old society as a completed life cycle, which gave him invaluable experience.
An inverted Hermit on the chart of the year indicates that the year will be marked by losses. These losses will most likely not be in the physical plane, which is more characterized by the XIII and XVI Arcana (Death and Tower), but in the spiritual. We can say that a person is entering a period of spiritual degradation.
Such a person definitely needs to pay attention to his emotional state. He must realize that because of his emotions he is always marking time. During this period, there is a danger for the student to be expelled or for the employee to be fired. This situation can be prevented if a person manages to “reverse” the Arcanum - moderate emotions and find compromises.
Arcana Council
The hermit advises taking advantage of the coming time to concentrate on the inner Self, for which you need to renounce your material interests. A person needs to conduct an “audit” of his soul, figure out what irritates and causes negative emotions, and learn to manage them.
Arkan points out the need to find one’s place in life, spiritual growth and self-improvement, and he suggests doing this alone, so that external circumstances do not influence the analysis of one’s own experience. You need to accept the period of loneliness with grace, even if at first glance it seems forced.

Astrological meaning of the lasso: Leo.
Arcana superpower: the ability to be holistic, self-sufficient, wise in everything.
The Hermit card, Spirituality means, first of all, the renunciation of the desire for material and physical benefits, turning to the Mind and Spirit. “What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” - asked Jesus. It would seem a simple truth, but sometimes a person needs a whole life to understand it. That is why the Hermit depicted on the map is old.
This card contains the energy of detachment from the world, the path to ourselves, when we “close ourselves” from external influences in order to find peace away from the bustle and people and, most importantly, to find ourselves.
Almost all religions contain legends about the journeys of the Spirit, about great teachers or prophets who walked around the world in search of truth or God, the same energy is contained in the 9th lasso. After all, the Divine power, the Light, will not be able to speak openly while we are distracted by the worries of everyday life. The search for truth must begin alone, in solitude.
The energy of the 9th Arcana is contained in Buddhism, not as a religion, but as a spiritual teaching. The energy of this arcana is connected with the Consciousness of the Ascended Masters; this energy allows the human consciousness to contain the entire World and all the processes occurring in it. This energy allows you to control events occurring in the world.
Description of the lasso.
The angel of the 9th arcana is the Hermit, the Wanderer is an ascetic traveling alone. The attributes of the Arcana angel are the Wanderer’s staff and the Master’s lamp (denotes the principle of “walking with your light”, carrying your light with you, drawing knowledge from yourself), and his face is hidden by the Cloak of Namelessness - symbolizing the principle of mystery, and simply that a person Those engaged in spiritual development must be largely secretive and self-absorbed.
The road along which the Wanderer walks is the Path that we saw in the 22nd and 18th Arcana, but in the 9th Arcana it is already a conscious movement along the Path of evolution and an attempt to reach the next spiritual level. The energies of this arcana are used to change the level of consciousness; here comes the second Initiation of Magicians (the first was when crossing the border of the 17th arcana).
The Hermit has a staff in his hand, and three knots on the staff indicate support on three planes: physical, astral and mental.
In the background of the card we see a tree in the state of autumn and this symbolizes age, and the hermit himself is not young.

Main meaning of the card
Straight position
The hermit symbolizes the search for the spiritual path, reflection on the meaning of life, a clear position in life, and understanding of the essence of things.
The person who gets the Hermit is definitely an introvert. He tends to “close himself off” from the world, from external influences. It is in solitude that he feels most comfortable.
The main idea of this Arcanum is the ultimate goal of our aspirations and the path that can lead us to this goal.
Any significance of the Hermit is further enhanced if the Empress appears next to him, because in this case he says that the search will be fruitful. In addition, the Priestess with the Hermit is a desire to comprehend the deepest and most significant secrets of the universe; Hierophant – finding spiritual teachers; Strength is vows or commitments made to oneself and their strict fulfillment.
Inverted position
The inverted Hermit, first of all, denotes fear of life and voluntary isolation from the world. Usually this card characterizes a person who has not been able to find his own place in life, to realize himself in the professional sphere, personal life, etc. In addition, the Hermit in an inverted position can be interpreted as following false ideals, stubbornness, corrupt actions, secrecy, misinformation, concealment.
The inverted Hermit in combination with the Jester is especially accurate in identifying a person who has lost or has never found himself in this life. When paired with the Emperor, such an Arcanum is interpreted as stubbornness and inertia; when paired with the Hanged Man, it is interpreted as a gloomy, destructive opposition of oneself to the whole world.
Love and relationships
Straight position
In relationships, the Hermit usually indicates a mature, very serious attitude towards a partner or a desire to be alone with a loved one. Although in this case we may also be talking about a conscious desire to simply remain alone. The Hermit is also a renunciation of selfish demands on loved ones, as well as recognition of someone else’s personal space.
If the Hermit appears in the reading along with the Sun, it means that the partner they are wondering about is ideal. The Hermit paired with Temperance means that with the current partner a person will be able to forget about past disappointments and failures. In a pair, for example, with the Two of Cups, the Hermit can be interpreted as an easy, comfortable, harmonious, reliable relationship, and with the Page of Cups - as a leisurely, natural rapprochement of partners.
Inverted position
The hermit inverted is interpreted as selfishness, unwillingness to compromise. In a certain context, it can be regarded as an offer (or attempt) to break up temporarily in order to check feelings and understand oneself. By the way, this is exactly how the combination of an inverted Hermit with Lovers is interpreted. And, for example, with the Moon, the Hermit inverted will mean constant attempts to test feelings “for strength”, suspicions of treason.
Career
Straight position
For the professional sphere, the Hermit can be defined as the presence of mature ideas, the desire for a reliable, promising field of activity. It may also fall to a person who, for his vast experience and knowledge, has been offered to teach others. In addition, the Hermit is often interpreted as retirement or retirement.
Some combinations of the Hermit with other Arcana are also interesting in this regard. Let’s say, with the Three of Wands, it can be interpreted as a person’s ability to see through people and feel who is useful to him and who will turn out to be a hindrance and unnecessary ballast; with the Four of Wands – the ability to distribute responsibilities in a team and effectively organize its work to achieve good results; with the Ace of Swords - the opportunity to reconcile even complex contradictions and find a way out of almost dead-end situations.
Inverted position
A hermit inverted can mean the inability to work in a group, in a team, lack of coordination of actions, stubborn adherence to ineffective methods, based on personal preferences and preferences. It may also be dishonest business practices and attempts at bribery (including, together with the Devil), fraud (especially in combination with the Moon), misinformation of controlling persons and competitors.
Take your own searches and doubts seriously, because it is your peace of mind that does not allow you to stop there or mark time, being content with little. Trust your own experience and try to make every decision and form your opinion based only on reliable information and knowledge. Don't give in to the crowd and don't worry too much about “what people will say.”
