The Hermit and Nine of Pentacles

A double attribution, and a fortunate one: the Hermit is the ninth trump and the ruler of Virgo, and the Nine of Pentacles is one of the three Virgo decans. Both cards describe a person alone and entirely self-sufficient, one on a mountain with a lamp and one in a walled garden with a falcon. The tradition reads the pair as solitude that has been earned and furnished.

Associated with somebody complete on their own terms, and with independence that is not a wound.

Self-sufficiency in its most settled form. Frequently read for people whose work and life were built alone on purpose.

Neither card is lonely and both are alone. The pair is the deck insisting those are different, which is worth remembering when somebody else disagrees with your arrangements.
