Being the Year of the Hermit, 2025 invites you to embrace introspection, solitude, and inner wisdom—qualities embodied by the Hermit card in the Tarot. In numerology, 2025 breaks down to 9 (2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9), traditionally associated with completion, spiritual growth, and reflection. These align with the Hermit card, which represents the pursuit of personal enlightenment through introspection, retreat, and wisdom gained through experience. The Hermit’s energy will assist you with all of these aspects of growth in 2025.
Solitude and Inner Reflection:
The Hermit often isolates himself to search for deeper meaning. In 2025, the Hermit’s energy may encourage you to slow down, retreat from distractions, and reconnect with your inner self. It is important in 2025 to allow time for self-assessment and reflection, particularly in evaluating long-term goals and life purpose. Next year, 2026, is the Year of Good Luck and New Beginnings, so it is important to have some ideas of what you want your life to look like moving forward. In 2025, Governments may lean more toward nationalism and isolationism, avoiding looking outward toward other countries for help, alliance, or wisdom.
Seeking Knowledge and Wisdom:
The Hermit is a seeker, not just of external truths but of inner wisdom. In 2025, there may be a greater focus on personal growth, learning, and searching for deeper truths—whether through spiritual practices, study, or meaningful self-inquiry. Keep an eye out for learning opportunities, both formal and through life experiences. We could see more research on quantum theory and transpersonal psychology with an increase in guru or personal growth influencers on social networks
Guidance and Mentorship:
The Hermit, though solitary, often carries a light to guide others. In 2025, there may be an emphasis on seeking out mentors or becoming a guide yourself, sharing wisdom gained from experience. It’s a year for spiritual leaders, teachers, and guides to emerge or for individuals to step into their roles as teachers. This may be the year you leave the role of student and become the teacher. Whether student or teacher, look for more workshops, mentorship, or formal educational opportunities in 2025.
Patience and Discernment:
The Hermit is not in a rush; he understands that true wisdom comes with time and patience. In 2025, it could be a year where patience is needed in the pursuit of personal or collective goals. Quick fixes won’t work, and steady, thoughtful action will be more valuable. You may find patience wears thin and it will be important to be mindful of this as you go through 2025. Road rage and similar incidences may be on the rise in 2025.
Spiritual Illumination: The Hermit’s lantern symbolizes the light of wisdom that guides him through the dark. For the year 2025, this could signal moments of epiphany or sudden insights. You may experience bursts of clarity or find yourself drawn toward spiritual practices that help you understand yourself and the world on a deeper level. Your intuition will likely grow and present itself in ways it hasn’t before. Be on the lookout for Spirit to speak to you in new ways. There could be sudden changes in laws and mentality because of 2025 events that shift the world’s consciousness.
Release of External Influences:
Much like the Hermit’s decision to withdraw from the world, 2025 might be a year when you feel compelled to detach from external distractions, societal pressures, or material pursuits. It’s about finding peace in solitude and tuning into your true self. Yet this is only one cycle; be aware of the urge to leave everyone and everything behind. Use your newfound intuition and self-knowledge to make wise choices about what no longer fits in your life and detach mindfully.
2025, as the Year of the Hermit, calls for focusing on personal wisdom, inner peace, and spiritual growth. It encourages introspection, slow and steady progress, and the search for deeper meaning in one’s life. The energy of the Hermit asks us to step back from the noise of the world and seek the truth that resides within with mindfulness and reflection.
