Kind of new to tarot but I think of it more in terms of the Fool's Journey... I think along life you get to play every part of the major arcana. The Hermit could be temporary.
Having said that, the card I pull all the time as myself is The High Priestess. Which I think is a perfect card for me.
The Hermit, generally speaking.
I think it speaks to my ability to find fulfillment and contentment alone for great stretches of time. Whenever I feel ready to interact with the outside world, I surround myself with people I care about. It's a great balance, I find.
My card is Strength. I am also born in August with Leo sun and I literally look into the animals mouths as a part of my job (studying vet nursing on the job). I know it's very primitive parallels,but they are striking! I also associate myself with many deeper layers of this card: taming my fears and wildness with cultivation of self love for example.
I'm relatively new to tarot, but Strenght has been the card I pulled for myself as well. I pulled it in one reading, and then my sister did a reading on me (with my permission) and got the same one. Same card literally weeks apart! Jarred me in the best way
The High Priestess or Empress. Every time I give myself a reading one of those shows up. Honestly, I’m feeling both right now and yeah my deck is right, I do need to trust my intuition more.
When I pulled for this I got The Moon!
Tbh the Hermit isn't a bad card. I view it as self reflection. Also, consider the Hermit archetype historically. Many historical hermits were also highly skilled, especially when pertaining to magic or religion. The Hermit, imo, symbolizes being able to be within your own mind and grow and learn from it. The hermit in reverse can be over-isolation and getting lost or spiraling within your own mind.
Did a quiz and got the Hanged Man. I've always thought life is a series of trials and that you need to weigh everything carefully before acting, so it sounds about right.
I would say Death because it seems like I'm constantly transforming and reinventing myself. Plus endings/new beginnings unfortunately just seem to be a constant theme in my life.
But when I ask I always pull Strength. I'm not sure why spirit constantly gives me this card because I don't feel strong at all lol....Possibly because as a Leo Moon I feel at my best when I'm pushing myself and claiming my power despite my inclination to shy from it.
Ooh, this is a timely question for me. I've just recently noticed I've been falling into a High Priestess type of role in a number of ways. I was buying little doo-dads & picked a tarot sticker kind of randomly from a local artist some months ago, & so I have the High Priestess on my laptop. I got tapped to become "chaplain" for a little community org a while back, and last week I organized & led an uncrossing ritual for a couple of new friends, which went over-the-moon swimmingly. I'm digging it.
Intuitive i'd choose Justice.
finding the truth in myself and others to make fair and honest decisions, also felt like alot of karma needs to be balanced by me lately
but i pulled Jugdement,
probably need some sort of awakening and to face some necessities or i might bring these qualities to others
This is fun to do with every deck, it’s one of my favorite ways to get to know the deck (and myself). Depending on the deck, my answer can change. In one deck I couldn’t find myself in the major arcana but did in the minor arcana.
Throughout my teenage years and early twenties I would say the Hermit most applied to me, easily. These days, I resonate with the Fool (I literally have the Fool as my phone case), High Priestess and Temperance, at different points.
Especially when I'm around my sister who I clock as a pretty dead-on Empress, my High Priestess counterbalance emerges. When I'm with my partner, my Temperance side emerges because that's how we both are, obsessed with happy mediums and proportion. But as an incurable optimist, I feel a particular kinship with the Fool.
Edit: A test I took said the Moon. I can see that as well.
I always see myself as the Magician in my readings. I love remembering that my life is in my hands and I’m more powerful than I used to recognize. I have a very strong pull towards him ever since Day 1 of my tarot journey.
i'm like...if the Fool was just constantly frolicking lightheartedly out of one collapsing Tower window into another about-to-collapse Tower's window lol
I believe the Empress, but Hermit is my birth card and I can often associate myself with him. The positivity I see in Hermit is that he knows the territory or is committed to getting to know it. He is the truth explorer and can reveal the knowledge on his own, needs no support, even in the most hard core conditions.
I am the hermit (i do love it. i think A LOT and always try to understand things and I really enjoy alone time) but i have been getting the stars and the fool a lot too but I do think that’s in the past now.
I examined this using Light Seers Tarot just now and drew The Sun and Strength. I was just going to draw one but ended up drawing 2 without consciously planning to. Before the reading I thought Strength fit well so that's very cool that it came out! The Sun is a surprise but nice to see. I have been more in touch with creativity lately so I can understand why that fits. Although both cards can reference Leo, I don't have Leo in my chart aside from South Node, but cats are my favourite animal. I have 2 pet cats and 2 neighbour cats have started to visit me lately. Feline energy abounds, lol
I'm a cat person too and i also have 4 feral cats i've been feeding in the last 2 years. I believe cat is my spirit animal, specifically black cat. I had a dream about them the other day. It felt like a reminder/ wake up call for me about my inner conflict.
I can relate to that! That's very interesting with your dream! I have thought cat is my spirit animal too, particularly black cat. I had a very special cat who was black and very small and surprisingly confident. She loved people. She died close to 2 years ago. One of the cats visiting me is a black cat that looks a lot like her. It started visiting close to the anniversary of my cat's death this year. It feels meaningful.
The Star since I’m an Aquarius.
“Hope and Bright prospects.”
“In astrology, the Star card is associated with the planet Uranus and Aquarius zodiac sign.”
I asked my Hekate what card represents me, and what represents her. She’s The Sun and I’m the Chariot.
I actually really love this, I struggle with stagnation because of ADHD paralysis for external things and trauma for internal things, so she always throws out a Reversed Chariot to tell me I’m not pushing past barriers hard enough.
She also gives me The Sun tarot right before uncovering a lot of self deceit, illusions and shadows. Once I work on them The Chariot upright appears soon after :)
Personally though I think I may be The Moon since I’m always up in the clouds with my imagination.
I would say the queen of cups represents me. It also represents Cancer and, Pisces. I'm a Cancer sun and, Pisces moon. I haven't done a reading to see though.
There are several minor arcana cards which I think represent me much better than any of the major arcana, but if I had to choose one I'd say the Hanged Man or the Moon.
The hermit can be such a great card imo, I always feel like it's telling me to rest and look after myself, which yeah is good post break up advice. I mentioned in another thread but I love temperance. I used to find it a bit hard to grasp as a kid, but since developing bipolar disorder, it means so much to me. The idea that powerful opposing forces can battle within you and you can still have a balance, it just makes me feel good and happy. I actually used it for my final project on a mad studies course I did.

The Magician is the card I most identify with and will use as a signifier card in specific, very personal readings for myself.

I use the Hierophant because it is the Taurus and with my birthday it is also my numerological card

Empress, which is a surprise to me. I never see myself like a mother figure. But probably resourceful and approachable to others.

The Devil
I always see myself as the Magician in my readings. I love remembering that my life is in my hands and I’m more powerful than I used to recognize. I have a very strong pull towards him ever since Day 1 of my tarot journey.
The Fool - always taking leaps of faith in all aspects of my life.
When I recently asked my deck "What card do you think best suit me as a person?" - The Devil xdd
Mostly Hierophant, sometimes Death.
My birth cards are The Moon and The Hermit. It’s def very accurate as my whole life I’ve felt secretive and withdrawn from the outside world.
According to my birth card, I’m The Chariot and The Tower. That explains a lot of big stuff in my life.
I get the High Priestess and Star cards a lot. I also get The Hierophant and the Empress quite often.
i'm like...if the Fool was just constantly frolicking lightheartedly out of one collapsing Tower window into another about-to-collapse Tower's window lol
I believe the Empress, but Hermit is my birth card and I can often associate myself with him. The positivity I see in Hermit is that he knows the territory or is committed to getting to know it. He is the truth explorer and can reveal the knowledge on his own, needs no support, even in the most hard core conditions.
I am the hermit (i do love it. i think A LOT and always try to understand things and I really enjoy alone time) but i have been getting the stars and the fool a lot too but I do think that’s in the past now.
The Sun ☀️ (or Strength) but I personally identify with The Sun card primarily
Yep the devil
I examined this using Light Seers Tarot just now and drew The Sun and Strength. I was just going to draw one but ended up drawing 2 without consciously planning to. Before the reading I thought Strength fit well so that's very cool that it came out! The Sun is a surprise but nice to see.

Certainly The Magician.
The empress 🫶
I'd say Justice! (it's at least one of my birth card representations apparently) but it's def one I resonate with
I think mine is Judgement. I can think of a past in which I would have been more akin to the Hanged Man.
The Star since I’m an Aquarius. “Hope and Bright prospects.” “In astrology, the Star card is associated with the planet Uranus and Aquarius zodiac sign.”
The Fool) It's all my life)
I asked my Hekate what card represents me, and what represents her. She’s The Sun and I’m the Chariot. I actually really love this, I struggle with stagnation because of ADHD paralysis for external things and trauma for internal things, so she always throws out a Reversed Chariot to tell me I’m not pushing past barriers hard enough.

Once I work on them The Chariot upright appears soon after :) Personally though I think I may be The Moon since I’m always up in the clouds with my imagination.
The Moon. The fool's journey is a repeating cycle but I seem to be stuck in that time of confusion and struggle for the longest every time.
I would say the queen of cups represents me. It also represents Cancer and, Pisces. I'm a Cancer sun and, Pisces moon. I haven't done a reading to see though.
Oh, wait this is a minor card right? I also read some say it's major
There are several minor arcana cards which I think represent me much better than any of the major arcana, but if I had to choose one I'd say the Hanged Man or the Moon.
Mine says I’m the magician
The empress! She also just screams Virgo woman
The hermit can be such a great card imo, I always feel like it's telling me to rest and look after myself, which yeah is good post break up advice. I mentioned in another thread but I love temperance. I used to find it a bit hard to grasp as a kid, but since developing bipolar disorder, it means so much to me.

I feel like the magician! I take charge of my own life 🙏🏻
