"It is only when you're whole that you can share the right kind of love to others."

Today’s tarot card is The Hermit, the ninth card in the Major Arcana. It emphasizes your need for solitude and time to renew and reclaim your lost self. In love, you will never run out of stock. If someone is meant for you, it will lead its way to you. Your goal now is to build yourself first and gather enough strength needed in handling a wholesome romantic life. 

The tarot card portrays an old man carrying a staff in one hand and a lantern on the other while standing on a mountain peak. The lantern serves as his guide in finding enlightenment as he navigates his way further. 

The Hermit tarot card is telling you to heal and enjoy your time being alone before entering into a romantic chapter in your life. There’s no need to rush for love. There’s no time limit and definitely no deadline, so make time for yourself first before dealing with romance. 

Allow Yourself to Grow 

Growth is very essential when it comes to entering a relationship. Falling in love and staying in love is a serious matter that needs full commitment and dedication. For someone who wants a healthy partnership, you need to be able to learn first what it feels like to be alone. That is where you can find strength in solitude. If you can already manage to be by yourself without feeling needy for someone else’s comfort, that is enlightenment and empowerment at the same time. 

It is okay to refuse any romantic interactions especially if you aren’t ready yet. You need to be able to stand for yourself and be emotionally stable before allowing another person to build life with you. That way, you will refrain from hurting others and yourself. 

You Can’t Give What You Don’t Have

If you have not fully recovered from your past romances, then it is best to stay out of any new relationships. You won’t be able to love someone the way they deserve to be loved if you are still being haunted by your emotional baggage. 

Find your lost self. Sometimes when you're in love, you feel like you can’t live without the person you want. You feel like every break up is the end of you. You think you can’t handle solitude after years of depending on your ex lover. That is okay to feel, but later on you need to realize that it is never right to be emotionally dependent on your partner. You need to be whole as you are and only make your partner an additional piece. 

Loving someone could either build or destroy you. But you have the choice to present that if you know in the first place what you can bring to the table. If you have made it through life without anyone, you can still make it through ifever they will leave you. 

Today Tip of the Day 

Pain is part of loving someone. Even if you feel like you’re already with the right person, you can still feel pain in the process. What’s important is you don’t allow yourself to be disrespected and mistreated. If you have found enlightenment within yourself, it would be easier to maintain the spark with the person you choose to be with.
