In the Hermit tarot card, you see an old man in gray looking down carrying a light and standing in the snow at night time. The lantern can be symbolic of being prepared. It can also symbolize nighttime and feeling sleepy and a time to rest. The star in the lamp can represent the light within yourself or wisdom and can help light your way. The stave he holds can represent strength and helps him stay balanced. The snow can represent a time when you can start over.
