The Hermit Card is a Virgo card, you know this by seeing all of the wheat in the back ground. When this card is reversed it might be encouraging you to make sure you have completed business or projects you have started, maybe even relationships that are needing a bit of clearing the air. Make sure you learn and integrate the lessons you learned from the past so you don't have to repeat them. The red cloak on the central figure being the color of blood reminds us to being honest in our dealings so we don't incur more karma.
Our karma goes with us to other life times if we don't take steps to right it in the current life time.
