Embracing the Energy of a ‘9’ Year
As we move through 2025, it's important to recognize that this year holds special significance in numerology. The sum of its digits (2+0+2+5=9) places it under the influence of the number nine, which is closely associated with the ninth card of the tarot, The Hermit. This connection invites us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with our inner wisdom. The Hermit represents solitude, introspection, and the pursuit of deeper knowledge. In today’s world, where burnout and detachment are common, the Hermit archetype is more relevant than ever.
Now that we're more than halfway through the year, many of us may find ourselves naturally retreating from the noise of social media, external pressures, and constant distractions. This is an ideal time to look inward, seek peace within, and allow ourselves to be still. Embodying the energy of the Hermit can be as simple as taking daily pauses, practicing intentional stillness, or embracing quiet courage.
To help you along this journey, I've created a free, guided meditation in collaboration with my friend Alicja in Ireland. This 15-minute meditation is best experienced with headphones, in a quiet and alone space. It’s designed to support your inner reflection and align with the healing power of my new tarot and oracle deck, “The Light In The Dark.” This deck is crafted to provide strength, hope, and encouragement during challenging times.
Insights for Each Zodiac Sign
Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Tarot Card: Four of Cups
The message from The Hermit for air signs is to practice gratitude. This isn't about feeling ungrateful, but rather about amplifying your natural optimism and appreciation for the positive aspects of your life. By focusing on gratitude, you can attract more positivity into your life. Start a daily practice—whether through journaling, a gratitude list, or a simple mantra like “I welcome miracles. I live in gratitude. I attract abundance.”
Earth Signs (Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn)
Tarot Card: The Moon
For earth signs, the message is to delve deeper into self-research. Use the rest of 2025 to explore unanswered questions, mysteries, and unfinished business. Reflect on what makes you feel safe, loved, and authentic. Consider questions such as: What patterns do I keep repeating? When do I feel most aligned? What am I afraid others might discover about me?
Water Signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio)
Tarot Card: The Hierophant
Water signs are encouraged to take something deeply personal and meaningful to them and join a group or community. Whether it's a spiritual practice, creative endeavor, or educational goal, connecting with like-minded individuals can accelerate your growth. Collaboration and sharing will help turn your aspirations into reality.
Fire Signs (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius)
Tarot Card: Six of Cups
Fire signs are advised to reconnect with their inner child. This is a time to revisit the joy, authenticity, and nostalgia of childhood. Tap into the love and potential that lie within. A helpful mantra could be “It’s safe to be soft. It’s safe to be curious. It’s safe to be me.” Reconnecting with old memories, music, or photos can bring new insights and clarity.
