Let's meet: Hanged Man Tarot Card - An introduction
The main approach I like to have with the hanged man tarot card meaning revolves around having an alternative approach to your situation. Another powerful meaning I interpret the hanged man as feelings of liberation, letting go, and learning how to disconnect efficiently. You are likely taught to work hard versus enjoying life, as otherwise it is irresponsible. However, what you were not taught is to find the right balance here, and the hanged man reminds you of so.
As a gentle reminder, this card knocks on your door when you are also feeling trapped and not happy about your current situation. If it does, it also means you have the opportunity to approach with an alternative perspective, or simply walk away from this situation. This card shows up a lot when you have the solution right in front of you, but you don't notice it. I have seen people solve problems with an alternative point of view, problems that otherwise haunted them for years.
Upright meanings
The Hanged Man Tarot Card, when upright, gives us a gentle reminder with a bigger warning embedded. There are other cards, like The Tower, that require you to take immediate action. However, in a way, the Hanged Man has a similar meaning. Like, you need to approach the situation with an alternate point of view, but you are too stubborn to turn your head. A gust of wind will force you to turn your head, and hopefully, meet your eyes with the solution.
When you wonder what the hanging man means in Tarot cards, if you ask for a general meaning, it means that deep down, you know something is not right, and you need to take immediate action. Don't ignore your gut; if you know that the way you are going won't work, be certain, it won't work. Stop wasting your time, and take action, a different action, and you will be meeting with the change.
There is a lot more behind this card because a lot of times, you simply need to question something in your life, or your life in general. Since you were little, you were probably taught to follow directions, to go with the flow, and to obey a certain set of rules to flow well with society. While a lot of this may be true, what perhaps no one told you is that you need to start seeing how everything applies to your life, and how you want to go around it. Let's go a little deeper into the meanings:
- Love and Relationships. You must invest some time in checking how you (and the other person) are doing in the relationship. There may be a disconnect from the relationship, possibly the desire to change or stop something, or perhaps, stop the entire relationship as a whole. If this is true for you, the hanged man tarot card meaning love revolves around taking this step back, and checking what alternative approaches are available to work on to empower the relationship.
- Finances and Career. You might find yourself in a state of confusion, especially in terms of your professional path and career. You may be feeling trapped in your position, or you brought yourself into a monetary investment that you wish you hadn't. It is possible you need to make strong financial or professional decisions, so make sure to have an alternative approach, try something new, and do some more brainstorming. If you do, you may shift to a much better outcome.
- Spirituality and Health. If you meet with the hanged man tarot card meaning here, you need to start questioning how you are taking care of your spiritual needs, as well as your physical needs. Are they both in balance? Ask your doctor if you feel you need to change (or start with) a new treatment; only they will know best. If you need to question your spiritual beliefs and actions, please do, because you are likely to find what you are looking for in the end.
You might want to know what the Hanged Man Tarot Card means, and in the end, it is simple: you need to have an alternative approach to your situation; this way, you will get the best turnaround of events instead of feeling trapped in it. You need to start to do this so you don't go deeper and deeper into a path that you don't want. If you put your energy into things, you are likely to have great results.
Reverse Meaning
From readings, I feel that The Hanged Reversed Meaning is a continuation of the Upright position. I like to use my clairvoyance to hit the "play button" on a card and see what happens next. Here, it is a fantastic way to see the immediate potential outcomes of a certain situation. For this card, I always felt that if you press "play" in the upright version, it ends up in a reversed position. Why? Because while the Upright is "take action," this one is "it's too late," or "you are resisting."
Have you ever found yourself in the situation of having a bad outcome for every outcome and decision you make? This can be extremely debilitating emotionally and mentally, tough even on the strongest minds out there. You don't want to be stubborn, and if you are, you can be hitting an indestructible wall. If everything you do seems to go wrong and not yield the outcome you want despite your efforts, you need to shift your approach.
The Hanged Man Tarot meaning, when reversed, is simply another reminder, not a punishment. However, you need to question what you are doing, starting by questioning yourself. You may be in a state of self-destruction, and if you want to get out of it, you only need to shift your ways! Let's go a little deeper into the meanings:
- Love and Relationships. The Hanged Man reversed love message is always very tough, but to the point. I have seen this countless times... and let me ask? Is this true for you right now? I hope not, and that your love life is wonderful. If this is the case, you are not doomed, nor is your relationship, yet. You are certainly having the wrong approach, and you are being stubborn in the same ineffective way. Step off your high horse, and understand that perhaps, only a new approach and working from the ground will bring healing.
- Finances and Career. You might be going through financial and professional struggles. It doesn't matter what your situation is, but you are not doomed, trust me. However, you are off-path, and you might eventually doom yourself if you don't take action. Stop lying to yourself, ask for help if you need, and start taking the right steps in the right direction. Don't blame others, and see what you can do to improve things.
- Spirituality and Health. Are you feeling lost spiritually? Don't worry, this is a normal process in your spiritual awakening, and in a way, it's a good one. You might not feel happy, so you know something is off. Start exploring your spirituality and capabilities, and you will see how soon the change will come. If you are dealing with a health problem, look for a second doctor, a medical intuitive, a holistic practitioner, and anything you can do for yourself to improve your situation.
Don't feel bad if you don't feel 100% ready for life. If you feel 100% ready for life, I would be a little bit worried about you. No one is to be ready 100% for anything, but you need to work your way to be prepared for as much as you can. If you know you can be better, or more ready at something, go for it, push yourself, and don't wait for the Universe to hit your snooze button... that is always a big challenge.
The Hanged Man reversed meaning is a fantastic snooze button, because you can take it as that "last call" before your flight takes off and you miss it, triggering the Principle of Cause and Effect far away from your initial plans and ideas. You might know something you need to change, do it before The Hanged Man Upright gives your first buzz, followed by its reversed version, even when things are a lot harder.
You should reflect on the following questions.
When I created The Conspiracy Tarot (if you want a copy, make sure to use the coupon BLOG111 at the checkout), I added questions for you to reflect upon each of the cards. You can find this within the pages of the Little White Book that comes with the deck. But for today, for the Hanged Man Tarot Card, I am sharing these questions for you to reflect over. Once you do, feel free to leave a comment and share your thoughts and findings. This will help others a lot!
- Are you able to put your ties aside and enjoy the moment?
- What are you doing to be able to change in your life what you feel that leads you down the wrong path?
- What do you do to be able to find and secure peace and mental liberation?
I've been questioning whether to leave a comment for each of these questions, but I want to leave them as they come in the Little White Book for the Conspiracy Tarot. I hope these questions help you bring something that will improve your life, even a little bit.
