The Hermit and Wheel of Fortune in love
A solitary period may end with an unexpected turn, such as a new connection or a change in an existing bond. Reflect on past patterns so you do not repeat them. If you have been single, time alone may have prepared you for a fortunate meeting you would have missed while distracted.
How they feel: The Hermit and Wheel of Fortune as feelings
They have been thinking about you privately for a while, and something is about to shift. The Hermit shows reflection and reserve, and the Wheel shows a turning point. They may be ready to come out of their shell and act. Their feelings have been considered carefully, not formed on a whim.
The Hermit and Wheel of Fortune in career and money
Reflection helps you anticipate change in your field. A turning point may arrive after a period of study, research or independent work. Use what you learned in solitude to make wise choices when opportunity knocks, and notice which cycles keep repeating in your career.
Is The Hermit with Wheel of Fortune a yes or no?
The two cards disagree (The Hermit: maybe, Wheel of Fortune: yes), so read it as conditional and let the advice decide the next step. Ask your own question and see which card answers it.
What to do when The Hermit and Wheel of Fortune turn up
Look for the pattern before the wheel turns. Spend time reviewing what keeps repeating in your life, and decide how you will respond differently this time around.
If The Hermit or Wheel of Fortune is reversed
A reversed Hermit shows isolation or refusing advice, and a reversed Wheel shows a turn you didn't want. Put the two together and you get missing a change because you were too withdrawn to notice it coming, or repeating the same cycle because you won't look at it. Ask someone you trust what pattern they see in you.
