I love this post, and the way you have captured the essentials of The Hermit IX, thank you for sharing it with us.
I was reading through your great advice, and thinking... Shaunté is missing the crucial role she plays here in lighting the way for her readers/subscribers, until I got to point 8 and was relieved that you recognise that 🙂
Thanks again... off on tour through the rest of your posts now.
Hoping that 2025 is being good to you and recharging you, too!
Thank you for sharing more tips on Hermit energy! I am in a personal year 4 with the Empress leading me and the Death card as support. Since September, I've felt myself drawn inward, needing solo time. Upon reflecting on what my word of the year is, I felt "SHE-led" best describes my focus. It seems I am being asked to redefine what church means to me. It's something I've backed away from because I am too prone to do all the things myself which exhausts me. I'm envisioning a marriage of the Hermit and the Empress to mean a rewriting of my perspective of leadership from outward doing, organizing, and inviting, to inward being, flowing, and stillness - leading myself and ministering to myself first.
Which is perfect for the Hermit, because the light I shine for myself will then extend to others. It's like I need to pave the way for myself and by leading myself, I will lead others.
This is so rich and uplifting. It's interesting that, when I drew a card for each month of 2025, I pulled the hermit for February. You've given me a lot more to ponder. Thank you for sharing this, Shaunté!
This is a marvellous guide. I am going to refer to it from time to time. I have no problem being a hermit. In fact, my husband is also becoming one - if it's possible for two hermits to live happily and comfortably together, as we do! Thank you for your illuminating posts - and may 2025 bring all that you desire!

Phil, thank-you so much for your kind words. It’s been a really rough week, and you made me smile. I really appreciate that. 💜✨

I’m so glad it resonated with you! Happy hermiting. I’ll be doing the same. 😉✨

Thank-you so much Emma! I believe that two hermits can be very happy indeed. Happy New Year 😉🪩💜✨
Thank you!
