Good morning Yogis –

You know I am a TAROT person/ counsellor/advisor, call it what you will.   If you know that you know that I really resonate with THE HERMIT. The number 9 card, and this year IS THE YEAR OF THE HERMIT. Have you felt it? That quiet nudge? A soft, but steady call inward?

Have you been doing your card a day?  This card is speaking to me so strongly right now. Its message feels so deeply aligned with the moment we’re in, both individually and collectively. 2025 is, after all, the Year of the Hermit. (2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9, and 9 is The Hermit in the Tarot.)   Why would The Hermit suggest that we retreat, when there is SO MUCH to be done?   As I have said to my clients, the Hermit is not about hiding in a cave,  it is about shining our light from the mountain.  We live in the information age, complete with AI and it is more important than ever that we slow down and come back to what we know to be real and true for us.  Remember the Q’ran “Nothing can happen that is not the will of God, Trust that”.  

At the moment the world can be overwhelming for me, and it could be the same for you.  I need the Hermit’s light to guide my way. It only takes a step at a time – we don’t need to see the complete picture, just trust that there is one laid out for us (actually we have laid it out for ourselves – karma).  If we accept this then it is just a matter of trusting our inner wisdom, take action even small actions and the way will gradually reveal itself to us.

Shining the light is not just about shining it for others – it is also and most importantly shining it for yourself.
