Reversed Cards: If the Hierophant is the teacher and spiritual guide for our outer journey, then the Hermit is the guide to the inner one. The Hermit represents the singular journey, the journey of self. A leader with no followers. Yet he is more than willing to offer guidance and to console if and when he is asked. Once your answer has been given, you will be asked to leave. Solitude and seclusion are the Hermits sanctuary, and when either of these two elements is interrupted or interfered with, the Hermit becomes unbalanced and out of power. Although it is normal for the Hermit to interact and engage with others, it is not normal for him to stay in this state for an extended period of time. This is echoed in the number to which he vibrates to, the nine. The nine marks the end of a cycle or journey. It shows a point of expansion at a karmic soul level. It is the number to which we aspire so we can move on to the next level of awakening and enlightenment. The lamp in the Hermits hand can represent the spark of enlightenment, the karmic light of the awakened guru.
Tarot Triumphs: Justice is one of the four cardinal virtues, a schema originating in Platonic thought and taken up by the Christian Church. Of the other three, Temperance already has a place in the Tarot pack; Strength may double for Fortitude, and, as already suggested, the High Priestess could serve as the fourth virtue, Prudence. Some Tarot experts consider it very important to find the full complement of the virtues in the Tarot pack, to prove that they were part of its schema right from the start.25 But no one has yet managed to prove that the Tarot is founded on a straightforward series of religious or philosophical allusions.26 Tarot is an extraordinary mix of images and concepts, and this gives it its power. It is symbolic rather than allegorical, and it cannot be pinned down to a single set of meanings. So although Justice is one of the more straightforward and recognizable images in the pack, it is worthy of exploration afresh to penetrate its deeper meanings and implications that might not immediately be obvious.

Reversed Cards: Here in the retrograde aspect, we see Jupiter and Leo lighting the path to victory. But its only the path. This is important to remember. As Jupiter retrogrades, you will need Leos fire to burn brightly as you put in the time, energy, and effort to bring yourself into the vortex of success. When this card shows up in your reading, just know that you are not there yet. You are close, but you are missing something. Maybe you have not managed to get all your wands working together, or perhaps your foundation is not as strong as it needs to be to support your growth. Whatever it is, correct the issue and then watch the blessings of the upright and direct Jupiter come to pass.
