Knight Of Pentacles
Previously you may have felt that your life was so simple and not exciting. You may have got bored with it. For work, you may need to carry out your work carefully as well as be flexible and adapt yourself to others. Be careful of getting into conflict with others due to your too much attachment to your own ideas. You are likely to finally receive news that you’ve been waiting on, and this news is likely to be good. This Knight is a very practical card. For finance, it was under your control. If you have sub-ordinates, you may take time to teach them as they may not have creative thinking or never initiate new things. Take care of the little things, and the big things will all fall into place. The Knight of Pentacles asks you to look at how you are handling your affairs, and is a grounding influence. it often means you will be trusted with more responsibility and accountability. Do not shy away from this, but make sure you accomplish your work with duty and attention to details. There is no need to make any major changes to your approach, as this card says more of the same will do, and following through with your well worked out routine, is the way to go.
In reverse it is carrying a warning that this is an important time to keep your focus squarely on your work, if you are working for money. This is a time to be as adult as possible, if you want to be successful. Although you may be feeling somewhat listless and rather unexcited about what is going on in your life, it’s important to realize that the only person that can change that is you. Learn something new. Open yourself up to change, but don’t throw the proverbial baby out with the bath water. You have become bored. Right now you must recognize that fear is a powerful force that is causing you to hold onto what you know, regardless of whether or not it actually makes you happy. Now is the time for you to let go of the people in your life that do not make you feel good. If they are distracting you from your goals by bringing drama or frustration in your life then they do not belong. There are those who would try to bring you down the minute you start having successes in your life because they are not happy with theirs, you must not allow them to get under your skin.
The Hermit
Your projects and plans may take longer time than you expect. Besides, you may have a chance to seek higher education in master degree or learn something new to add value to your work. For work, there is no outstanding progress as you have to gain more experiences. You may get useful advices from your seniors or older person. Your love is not outstanding too. If you have a lover, your relationship will be boring.
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 around 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.
Work: You are nearing the point where work success and recognition are well within your grasp. Do your best to be organized and productive. This will pay off for you in ways that aren’t clear yet. Do the “right thing” even if nobody is watching. You are always watching what you are doing.
Love: It’s possible that a romance from your past will be re-kindled. Is that really what you want? It seems that romantic relationships are not currently a priority for you right now. If your head says that you want nothing more than a romantic relationship; look at your behavior. Does it align with that analysis? In a committed relationship, you might have been moving in different directions for a while now. Make sure to make the time and effort to stay connected in order to keep the spark alive.
Finances: This is a time to be conservative when it comes to financial transactions and decisions, not that money seems to be your highest priority when the Hermit appears anyway. If you’re investing, put your money in conservative stocks/bonds/money market with really good track records. This is not a time to gamble.
Health: Ritual of any sort will be helpful to you health-wise. (this could even be something like reading a book for an hour every Saturday afternoon). 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.
Spirituality: 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.
A reverse indicates a dire situation in the extreme; usually representing of someone so far gone off their path that they may be best just wiping their hands clean of a situation and starting over completely. The light of wisdom snuffed out, the path obscured, and hope gone the Hermit is alone and doesn’t know where to turn. When this card shows in the reversed position it is very important to look to the other surrounding cards for cues as to which way to go to get out of the current situation. The reversed position can also indicate seeking outside counsel or be turning your introspection to those around you.
It also indicates that it is time to reemerge, and share your authentic self with others. After a period of introspection and self-work you have gained new insights and wisdom. Now the demands of the external world may be calling you back. Duties will multiply and events may pick up speed. The Hermit reversed indicates that you have something important to contribute to the world around you, but you cannot share it if you aren’t connecting with others. Today, don’t hide, or be embarrassed about who your really are. Step up and be an example of light for others who may feel lost in the dark. Your life challenges, and introspective journey of self discovery has given you valuable wisdom. Reconnect with the world and share that wisdom with others. You are not alone. Your example can lead to great healing if you open your heart.
