L'Ermite

SolitudeQuêteLumière de la lampe

Endroit

Écartez-vous du chemin pour un temps. Votre propre conseil est le seul qui vaille la peine d'être écouté.

Inversée

L'isolement a tourné au vinaigre. Redescendez de la montagne en portant votre lanterne.

En amour

Romantically it points to a bond changing shape rather than ending. Let the change happen at its own speed.

Au travail et en argent

Money and craft align here. Ask for the number you actually want, once, without softening it.

Le conseil

Slow down until you can name what you actually want from this.

“I am allowed to change my mind in public.”
