November 1559
the world’s card for the month
The collective card for November 1559 is The Hermit. It’s the same for everyone alive this month, set by the date alone, and it sits in the testing third of the wheel.
The Hermit card in Tarot represents solitude, reflection, and inner guidance. An old man in a gray cloak stands alone on a snowy mountaintop. He holds up a lantern with a six-pointed star inside and leans on a long staff. This card is about stepping away from other people for a while so you can think for yourself.
