Is the Hermit a good card to get in a question about your love life?
The Hermit is the card for letting go of old baggage, and to move forward free from emotional attachments to the past. The Hermit denotes a new beginning in your love life.
You have turned a corner and you are letting go of an old way of life. The Hermit is someone who gives from his/hers soul and is only interested in deep, soulful, and meaningful relationships. This is someone who will connect with you one on one, and the relationship is doing great as long as it is just the two of you. When life is busy this relationship might suffer. The Hermit can be your rock, but only when he/she is actually there. The Hermit in a love reading denotes a relationship that will be tested a bit before it reaches a comfortable level.
You might feel like you want to elope and disappear from the rest of the world. The trick is to keep the relationship going during the mundane day-to-day life. When you are tucked away far from the mainstream way of life you are as close as ever, but when life catches up with you what happens then? Often the magic seems to disappear. This is only an illusion. You are two old souls who believe you cannot live an ordinary life. Why put restrictions on yourself? Learn to make ordinary moments extraordinary. Once you have mastered this, the Hermit denotes a partnership where you feel like you are one person, not two, so deep is the connection seen in the Hermit.
