The Hermit can come into our lives in some surprising ways.
I actually live with a guinea pig who exemplifies the Hermit’s energies as much as I’ve ever seen anyone do. This pig is my 7 year old’s; his name is Dandilion. He looks like this when he is visible (sitting on my 14 year old’s shoulder):
Most of the time though, he looks like this:
Kind of like a turtle, Dandi has a basket home he is very attached to. He is so attached to it, he takes it with him when he moves around his cage. He doesn’t need to come out to eat . . . he and his basket just mosey on up to the food bowl and eclipse it, and he eats from there:
Dandi doesn’t need to snuggle, or chat, or leave his basket. He is perfectly happy to sit inside it for days at a time, just contemplating his own existence. He condescends to poke his nose out of his little window only if he thinks he hears me coming with a snack. And if I do? He takes it from me and pulls it into the safety of his little turtle shell home.
Every time I look over and see this sight, it makes me laugh and think of the Hermit of the Tarot. Except Dandi doesn’t need a lamp. Or a staff. Just his basket.

“Predicting the Future? When people consult me, it’s not that I’m
reading the future; I am guessing at the
future. The future belongs to [a Higher
Being], and it is only he who reveals it,
under extraordinary circumstances.
How do I guess at the future? Based on
the omens of the present. The secret is
here in the present. If you pay attention to
the present, you can improve upon it.
And if you improve on the present,
what comes later will also be better.”
~ The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
“I’ve been taking these stutter steps towards my future for a long time now, unsure if I can do it, unsure if my difficulties are just growing pains or permanent disability. I need to take a lot of breaks to rest and re-group, but even if I have to hop instead of fly most of the time, I keep going. Just like the little bird.”
– The Little Bird, by Rachel Mankowitz

Biddy Tarot’s Card of the Week is Strength, reversed.
Biddy Tarot says that:
“This week, you may be feeling exhausted and in need of an energy boost. Remember, all your energy reserves and strength come from within. Take some time out this week to pause and reflect, and gather up your energy. Even though you may be lacking in strength, vitality and energy, it doesn’t mean you have to be completely incapacitated this week. Instead, go within to access your energy reserves and restore your inner strength.
You may also find that your inner strength and confidence is compromised this week. You may be doubting yourself and your ability to move through any challenges that have come your way. This is your opportunity to go deep within, and reconnect with your inner source of power and strength. You may have relied on others to provide this to you in the past, but the important lesson here is that only YOU can do this and you will be at your strongest when you discover how to find that part of you that is fierce and powerful!
Ask the Tarot: How can I restore my inner strength?”
(Esselmont)

I am indeed “feeling exhausted,” “lacking in strength, vitality and energy,” and “doubting” myself and my “ability to move through … challenges” this week (Esselmont). So this card is a nice reminder and encouragement for me.
I also had never thought of viewing “feeling exhausted” as an Opportunity – an “opportunity to reconnect with” my “inner source of power and strength (Esselmont).”
Literally – like – “Yay, this week I get to really challenge myself”, or “Awesome, I get to utilize my inner reserves!”
So that’s an interesting way to view it instead of just “Oh my god, I”m so exhausted.” I’m going to give that a go, I think.
My exhaustion is temporary anyway, and I know it. Started work at a retail store last week after 15 years of cushy office work and my body is coming up the physical labor remembrance curve hard and fast, taking no prisoners. So positive outlooks have been getting washed away by “Oh my god I just need to sleep 16 hours to rejuvenate.” I’m feeling good tonight, but that’s only because I slept all last night and half of today, and that seems to be what it takes to recover from working.
Going to come back to this and re read after my next shifts so I can remember that its a blessing to have the opportunity to give my inner reserves of strength a trial run here and there.
Hope it helps some of you as well!

For Opie Jax
I shuffled once. Got the Wheel of Fortune. Thought it was just a holdover from my last reading, that I hadn’t shuffled well enough, so reshuffled. Got the Wheel again. The Wheel it is!
Significator Card: Wheel of Fortune.
Opie is mercurial minded – he can feel one way one day, and another the next, many times the direct opposite! Always curious, always sniffing out new adventures, always “getting into trouble.” He is surrounded by protective and guiding friends, physical and otherwise – because he needs them in this lifetime! He is “too” inquisitive, and it has the potential to get him into serious trouble sometimes. Out of all the Beings on this card – he sees himself most as the eagle…

Interpretation (from Wikipedia:
A common aspect to most interpretations of this card within a reading is to introduce an element of change in the querent’s life, such change being in station, position or fortune: such as the rich becoming poor, or the poor becoming rich.[4][5][6]
At the top of the wheel perches the sphinx, who is there to remind us that if we stay stable amidst turmoil and use reasoning then we can retain the power to change our own lives instead of staying at the mercy of chance.[7]

(from my “Once Upon a Time” assignment in the Biddy Tarot Certification Program.)
A group of beings inhabit a realm Above. Four (4) are studying, one (1) is supporting the learning materials, one (1) is presiding over all, and one (1) is taking the information from their realm to that of Below. If clouds are considered to be Beings, they are a part of this story as well, supporting those that study and looking on in general interest.
Three (3) Beings hold their books with their front paws. One (1) with its back paws.
One (1) wears clothes, the rest do not.
All gravitate around the ancient symbols.
Everything happens according to the well orchestrated plan set before them. Like clockwork, they work diligently at their respective tasks. All in their place; each place holding its Being. It looks like a library, or a scene out of a library…

(In an effort to maximize my time and energy in the Biddy Tarot Certification Course, I’ve decided to start journaling (which is blogging for me) about the weekly cards from which I pull inspiration and guidance towards my monthly goals. This is not authoritative information, just my personal notes.)
This week’s card is the Ten of Cups.
When I pulled this card a month ago, when I was doing my lookahead to the weeks in the month of May, I was using my usual deck, the Sacred Circle Tarot, by Anna Franklin and Paul Mason.
I had written in my notes, “Work is done. Crop is to be enjoyed.”
Numerical symbolism
End of a cycle and simultaneous renewal. In the realms of numerology, 10 also reduces down to 1 (1+0=1). And so, can also symbolize all the things that the number “1” does. (Biddy Tarot Numerology Chart) Anthony Louis phrases 10 as being “a transition point from one cycle to another . . . a number of completion and final ending. (Tarot Plain and Simple,)”
Astrological symbolism ..which planet rules the card…
Golden dawn says mars/pisces (To me, Mars is a Fire planet, so I don’t get that, but I don’t much like Golden Dawn anyway?)
Water : cancer, scorpio, pisces
Hindu decans – pisces scorpio (no clue what that (decans) is)
(Tarot Plain and Simple, by Anthony Louis)
Elements symbolism
water
Season and direction correspondence
Astrologically, The suit of Cups corresponds with the direction of North and the season of Summer.
The pagan traditions that I am familiar with cite Water (the cups) as corresponding with the direction West and so the season of Autumn.
I’m sure there are other traditions and cultures with other correspondences, but Autumn and West is what I work with. I can’t even wrap my head around North and Summer but – astrology is an ancient science so I’m sure they are more correct than we are? Either way – everyone chooses what makes sense to them and that’s what you work with.
6/18/18 Note: Water and the Cups and the West being correlated with Summer makes more sense to me now, with Swords ruling Autumn, Wands ruling Spring, and Pentacles ruling Winter, but I still personally work with Swords /Spring, Wands/Summer, Cups/Fall, and Pentacles/Winter, as I was taught that the directions follow East/Spring, South/Summer, West/Autumn, and North/Winter.
Major Arcana card
The Wheel of Fortune, or as my deck names it, simply The Wheel.
The AnnaFranklin.webplus.net interprets their Ten of Cups as:
Key word: reward
The ten cups of this card are full with the various good things of the harvest, the culmination of all the efforts of the farming year. They represent achievements of various kinds. The fruits depicted all have various symbolic meanings and energies, and play their part in our harvest celebrations.
Divinatory Meanings:
You are now reaping the rewards of all your efforts. It is a time of great happiness within the family and you will experience the joy of true friendships. This situation has firm foundations and will be long lasting.
Reverse Meanings:
Your well ordered environment will be disrupted in an extreme fashion, perhaps by the birth of a child or by a troublesome teenager. This card heralds family quarrels and the loss of friendships.
Some Key Words:
Peace, joy, happiness, contentment, love, family life, a good reputation, honor, virtue, harmony, a happy hearth.
I am now working with the Radiant Rider-Waite deck –
in that deck, the card looks like this:
