The Hermit
This week we have a Taurus New Moon on May 7th, which will ground us and support our intention setting for the next cycle. We welcome the fresh energy and take time to think about how we want to feel and where we want to go.
Our guide card is one of deep reflection and thoughtful plans of action. With our New Moon and wisdom from our card, we will confidently emerge from this week with our next steps.
Our card for the week is The Hermit. It’s about creating the time and space to journey inside ourselves. The card shows us a figure turning inward as they shine a beautiful light on the path before them. Through intentional alone time, we can tune out the voices of others and hear our own wisdom.
By quieting our minds we can also let in divine messages. We will access new insights and get closer to our personal truths. If you have been struggling with direction or a difficult decision, The Hermit energy will support the clarity you need.
The Hermit card speaks to personal spiritual journeys used by many cultures. The Aboriginals partake in Walkabouts, First People have the ritual of Vision Quests, and many cultures use Labyrinth walking as a means of seeking wisdom.
How can you create your own spiritual ritual for finding answers? A relaxing bath, quiet meditation, some time to journal, or even a long walk alone will help set the right tone for doing the Hermit’s work.
Ask your community for support around this. Maybe you need a break from work or childcare to secure your alone time. Your loved ones can help you if you make the request. Carving out time to be alone and connecting with yourself will serve you and your community, as it helps to ground and nourish you.
If you need space, please know it is more than okay. Take time for yourself and let go of any guilt that may surround that. When we charge our batteries we become our energized and full selves.
Allow The Hermit and the New Moon to support you this week. They both remind us of the importance of disconnecting from the world around us and connecting to our spirit. From that space, we can access so much intelligence and power.
Mantra for the week: I make time to unplug and connect with myself.
