You Are A Product Of Your Decisions; Not A Product Of Your Circumstances.
Today’s tarot card is the Hermit. Investing is good, but you have to invest in the right things, knowing what to put your focus on can create a big difference in the outcome you get. You have been having big goals and you are using every strategy to expand yourself, even as you do that, make sure you do enough research around the things you want to venture in.
In the card, there is an image of the Hermit standing at the top of a mountain that is filled with snow, which signifies your growth and the accomplishments you have made so far. It also means that you have mastered the art of climbing the mountain which in this case represents buying stock. You have decided to research how stock works and which are the best places to invest in, and as a result, you have increased your awareness of the same. In the right hand, there is the seal of Solomon, which is the six-pointed star inside the lantern the Hermit holds. This means that you have wisdom, which you have gained by continuously engaging yourself in stock buying. As the Hermit walks down his path, the lantern lights his way, but it only illuminates the next few steps rather than his whole journey, which shows that you must be patient to see how a stock fares by watching its performance a step at a time because not everything will be revealed to you at once. In his left hand, the side of the subconscious mind, the Hermits holds a long rod, which means that you have authority and power of taking control of your stock when you need to and you use it to make the best outcomes for you.
How can someone venture into something they know nothing about? Even if it is a good venture, most likely, you will make great losses because you do not understand how to go about it. Buying stock requires you to know how it works. You should be able to tell if an organization is doing well and if you will be getting the profits you want. It is a continuous journey of equipping yourself with this skill. It is advisable to first understand how the numbers work for yourself before you even engage a broker to make any purchases. The desire to get knowledge keeps you from many pitfalls. You have a curious mind and you have taken pleasure in understanding things. This has worked for you because you can tell if something will serve you. You have taken your time to master skills that will help you and you are making more conscious decisions of the things you are allowing in your life. You may have ventured into something without experience, could be a business and it brought you a lot of losses. You have henceforth done due diligence on the things you are getting yourself into. You are experiencing huge accomplishments due to your mastery, this is shown by the Hermit being on top of the mountain. This card encourages you to keep up informing yourself because it is saving you a lot of trouble.
Once you buy stock, you have to give it time to see how it fares. If you choose a well-performing organization and you trust that it will consistently keep doing well, you have to let go of the need to be in control. Stocks fluctuate, and if you do things impulsively, you might end up making bad trades. Give your stock time to appreciate to its maximum price before you sell, unless the organization is not performing well. Every step of your life requires you to make well-thought decisions. You are practicing patience with yourself and others, you understand that things will not always work out as you would want, and people need more chances than one. You may have lost important people in your life, or developed a lot of stress because of giving so much pressure to others and yourself to perform.

You feel more peaceful and you always have something to look forward to. Rest assured that the universe will continually equip you with lessons, even when things do not go the way you want them to.
Stock requires you to make logical decisions. You cannot follow the hype and over-marketing that is done. No matter how much an organization assures you of reviving if it is going under, you have to know what is the next best step that will serve your interests. Selling stock when an organization isn’t performing well means making great losses, you should be able to know when to give up certain stock, without being attached to it to avoid making irredeemable losses. With all the experiences you have, you know what will work for you without someone else having to insist on it. You have been able to get wisdom by taking a self-discovery journey that was not easy for you. In isolation, you figure that you are alone in this life and you have to choose things that serve you. You are no longer intending to please others while you are inconvenienced. You have found better ways of living a fulfilling life because now you want everything you do to count. You have moved past doubting yourself. You know you are capable of creating a worthwhile living for yourself, and you are doing so, this is shown by the Seal of Solomon the Hermit holds in his right hand. This card ultimately asks you to believe in yourself, and do not be afraid of taking your journey alone, because this is the place you will discover yourself the most.
Have You ever thought you could be more than you have been made to believe? That you are intelligent and you can steer the course of your life without crushing it? You are a Hermit, full of wisdom and unafraid, always tell yourself that and act like it.
