Today we learn how our past can affect our near future by examining cards 4 and 6. Card 4 can also represent things that we are releasing to the universe or things we have overcome.
I nearly always read the Hermit as a need for self care and introspection but if we aren't very careful the Hermit can lead us to isolate and tackle all problems alone. This is lonely and can lead to depression. The Hermit in the reverse position means the latter but it is in the past and it's time to emerge from our self inflicted isolation.
The Empress is the source of all life. She doles out unconditional love, creativity and the potential for growth. But in the reversed position she represents insecurity, misdirected emotions and the end of something.
When these cards are read together, you see the need to re-enter the world and to do it fully. We often want to dip our toe in the water instead of jumping in and we think this is playing it safe but "safety" got us in this mess. Denying our true self and making ourself small so that we fit into this little box is self abuse. It's time to trust the Universe and take the leap of faith.
