Navigating the Year of The Hermit: Insights for 2025

How numerology and Tarot can help you to navigate the year ahead.

Have you set yourself some goals for 2025 or created your vision board?

Maybe you’ve made a resolution or two.

Whether the answer is “yes” or “no” I’m here to support you.

In this post I’m going to dive into the numerology and Tarot correspondances of 2025 which may help with your intention setting and provide some clarity for the coming months.

First of all, 2025 is a “9” year in Astrology. Why? Because 2+0+2+5 = 9.

9 is all about endings, release, letting go and completion.

So 2025 could be a great year to finally give something up that has been troubling you for years, like a bad habit such as smoking, for example, a toxic job or relationship, a negative behaviour pattern or way of thinking… the list goes on.

Just because 2025 is a “9” year also doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to start anything this year or experience new beginnings. But just be aware that if you experience any delays or bumps in the road with something you’re trying to create and bring into the world, it’s likely just because there’s something (or someone) you need to let go of to pave the way for that new thing to come in in 2026 (which is a “1” year signifying new beginnings).

We’ve all heard the phrase “ignorance is bliss” but it is only by confronting our shadows that we can stand in the light of truth and live a life of soul-led purpose.

In terms of Tarot, The Hermit card is the 9th card in the Major Arcana so provides us with the overarching theme or North Star for this year.

Whilst the Hermit can signify quiet reflection, meditation, resting and retreating on our own, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to spend the majority of this year alone or holed up in a remote cave away from all civilisation (although going to do yoga in the mountains or a meditation retreat in the forest could be just the ticket!)

But certainly connecting to your truth, your inner wisdom and your intuition will be vital this year, as well as anything you can do to tune out the noise of outside influences and the wider world, particularly if these are in conflict with what your gut is trying to tell you.

This is a year of awakening, a time for spiritual truth seekers to boldly go where none have gone before and stand firm in their truth, even if this goes against the status quo or what their own family, friends and community believe.

The Hermit is about enlightenment and shining the light of truth on the shadows, thus illuminating the darkness within ourselves and in our external realities in terms of governments, societies and systems.

This “shadow work” can be uncomfortable and unsettling.

We’ve all heard the phrase “ignorance is bliss” but it is only by confronting our shadows that we can stand in the light of truth and live a life of soul-led purpose.

So in summary, 2025 is a year of Surrender, going within to discover the truth about ourselves and our world and letting go (once and for all) of the cycles, patterns, people, places and things that we’ve outgrown and which no longer serve us.
