The compatibility of these two cards is quite striking. Death in an upright position and the Hermit also in an upright position mean that a time of major changes and life reevaluation is coming. Death symbolizes the end of one period and the beginning of a new one, while the Hermit indicates the need for solitude and reflection. This could mean a change of job or a shift in social circles. In any case, it's a period when the old fades away, and the new is just beginning to take shape.

Combination of reversed card The Hermit and card Death

When Death is upright and the Hermit is reversed, things become more complicated. This suggests that changes will happen suddenly and will be quite challenging. The reversed Hermit usually means that the person cannot assess the situation objectively and may make mistakes. It can also indicate that someone around you will prevent you from having solitude and reflection.

This is a time to overcome your fears and take a more open view of the world.
