Combination of card The Hermit and card Knight of Swords

The Hermit always prefers solitude and spiritual growth when interacting with others. The Knight of Swords, on the other hand, is full of energy and ready to fight for his ideas. It's hard to imagine how these two arcana can coexist, but there is a certain connection between them. The Knight can teach the Hermit to be more active, while the Hermit can help the Knight delve into himself and find inner peace.

Combination of card The Hermit and reversed card Knight of Swords

However, if the Knight of Swords is reversed, it can mean that his energy and determination become destructive. The Hermit, in an upright position, might try to stabilize the situation by suggesting to retreat into solitude and rethink all mistakes. However, his advice might be ignored, as the Knight is not always open to self-criticism.

Combination of reversed card The Hermit and card Knight of Swords

The reversed Hermit may indicate a fear of the public or despair that his wisdom is unappreciated. The Knight of Swords in the upright position, on the contrary, is full of enthusiasm and ready to act without hesitation. He can help the Hermit overcome his fears and convince him that his knowledge and experience are very important to society.

Combination of reversed card The Hermit and reversed card Knight of Swords

If both arcana are reversed, the situation can become extremely difficult. The Hermit, experiencing despair, and the Knight of Swords, becoming aggressive and uncontrollable, are unlikely to establish communication. Instead of helping each other, they will probably exacerbate their problems in their own ways: the Hermit will withdraw even further, and the Knight will act recklessly, which can lead to unpleasant consequences.
