enlightenment

  
     the hermit + three of pentacles  

All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul. The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.  - John Ruskin

A querent is on their way to spiritual enlightenment by way of self-reflection, and by closely collaborating with a deep part of their mind that's coming into conscious - which is a passive process (the Hermit with Three of Pentacles).  However, what the querent is actively doing is mastering a skill, and the querent is practicing this skill contemplatively and in solitude.  All of this, from the private self-reflecting to mastering a skill, will result in the querent gaining a greater awareness of themself.  Because something that has been suppressed is in the process of revealing itself, and ultimately this querent will build/develop two new things:  [1] a new dimension of their personality and [2] a new skill to contribute to the world and to colleagues.
