Reading Big O — The Hermit, The Lovers & Breaking Free from the Devil at Work | Astrology Ride of the Day

This one-on-one tarot reading digs into a card pull of the Lovers, the High Priestess, the Magician, and the Eight of Pentacles for a guest named Big O — building a picture of someone emotionally driven to communicate through material creation, but caught between two life paths symbolized by the Hermit and the Lovers. The High Priestess (the Moon) represents Big O's emotional body, currently sitting in the sign of the Hermit — pointing to a need for solitude, self-study, and freedom from outside influence in order to communicate authentically, versus the temptation of the Lovers' path of choices between vice and virtue, symbolized by his past struggle between studying and going out. Big O reveals he's chosen to relocate to Rome specifically to embrace this Hermit energy, escaping the judgment and boundaries of his small hometown, which he describes feeling like the Devil card's chains. The conversation turns to his professional life, where he manages eleven employees who depend on him and love his surprising, generous gestures — despite Big O admitting he sometimes "acts like the devil" at work, creating a codependent dynamic where his team can't function without him. The reading closes on a pointed question: why does responsibility feel like such a burden, and what would it take to break free from that chained, devil-card dynamic both professionally and personally? Know thyself.
