The HermitPentacles Suit

Overview

The Virgo tarot card is The Hermit on PullTarot, the Major Arcana image of careful analysis and a search for a clearer truth. Virgo is mutable Earth ruled by Mercury, paired with the Pentacles suit, and the Sun is in Virgo from August 23 – September 22. When The Hermit appears, treat it as extra emphasis on practical work—for reflection and entertainment, not a guaranteed outcome.

Key takeaways

  1. The Virgo tarot card is The Hermit in the Major Arcana, a picture of careful analysis and looking for a clearer truth. On PullTarot it is Virgo’s significator, a reflection aid, not a diagnosis or a promise that a plan will succeed.
  2. Virgo is mutable Earth ruled by Mercury, so it shares the Pentacles suit with Taurus, and Capricorn. Those cards point to practical work, skill, and daily routines, not to a medical or financial outcome.
  3. The Sun is in Virgo from August 23 – September 22. Virgo is a mutable sign ruled by Mercury, which is why PullTarot pairs that season with The Hermit rather than with a different Major Arcana card.
  4. The three Virgo decan cards are Eight of Pentacles, Nine of Pentacles, and Ten of Pentacles. Eight of Pentacles is dedicated craft, Nine of Pentacles self-sufficiency, and Ten of Pentacles a household built over time. Read them as themes, not as income or inheritance that must arrive.
  5. PullTarot’s Virgo correspondences are a reflection aid for readers in the United States and Canada. They are not medical, legal, or financial advice, and they do not guarantee health, money, or a job result.

How does Virgo connect to tarot?

Virgo brings meticulous attention to tarot readings. The Hermit embodies Virgo's analytical nature and quest for inner truth, while the Pentacles suit captures their practical approach to health, work, and material well-being.

Virgo's trump is The Hermit, and the three decan cards below are the Pentacles cards assigned to this sign in Book T, printed in The Equinox (1912).

Earth signs use Pentacles because that suit is the earth suit in the Minor Arcana.

The link runs through a Hebrew letter, not the sign's ruling planet, so it will not match a chart that pairs planets with trumps. Treat it as a symbolic crosswalk for reflection.
