Family, Friends & Relationships:

When the Hanged Man shows in reverse, its possible that the time has come to let go of an outdated attitude, situation, or friendship. Think things through first, of course, but be aware that a sensible sacrifice made now of something that no longer works for you will open up your life to something even more positive than what you let go of. In reversal, this card particularly encourages you to not fight change.

Card Meanings: Discontentment, Useless Sacrifice, False Prophecy, Unwillingness, Impulsiveness, Apathy, Disinterest, Stagnation, Negative Patterns

The Hanged Man generally shows that you are at a crossroads – one with only two options i.e. in or out, up or down, yes or no. You may find yourself very much wanting to do ‘something’ but having no idea what it is or how to do it. If that happens, that’s a clear sign that you should stop, relax, and look at ways that you might need to let go of attempts to control life/situations/people/things.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Elements of the Psychic World
Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: Mediums in the early days were typically shunned by their friends and family. Most of the mediums were women and through spiritualism they were able to find freedom from many Victorian restraints, since entranced mediums were thought to be controlled by spirits and not responsible for their actions. This, along with the social equality encouraged by spirit teachings, attracted women involved in the suffragette movement to the spiritualist camp.

Reversed Cards: The allure of escapism is rampant in spiritual circles. From taking mind-altering drugs to getting high off the energy of prayer and meditation circles, there are a lot of ways spiritual junkies can get their fix. This is the shadow aspect of the Hanged Man in many respects, as being in a constantly altered state can be exciting and enticing, but it’s not the goal. The goal is to move beyond the high and into the void, to push through the euphoria and step into the vastness of nothingness. But here in the shadow aspect, you are still seeking the high, the feeling that makes you feel alive and awake. The problem is that it is a temporary state. You can never stay in it and function in the physical world, which is why it is not a state to be achieved but a state to move through and move on from. If you have received this card in your reading or daily draw, then you are being asked what areas of your life you are hanging on to for the high. What things are you clinging to just because they make you feel more alive? It is important that you understand that these things are not helping you but hindering you. They have left you powerless and unable to truly create.

Tarot Triumphs: If you do refuse, try to make it sound as though it’s not personal and you aren’t rejecting the individual concerned. To avoid any awkwardness, it may be better to respond initially to requests in a way that leaves matters open. For example, by saying, ‘You’d like a Tarot reading? Can you say a little more, so that I can figure out if I can help you, and if this is the best moment for it?’ If you are not sure about someone but don’t want to dismiss their request out of hand, you can always ask them to contact you later on and reassess the situation then. One of the old principles of esoteric training was that a person should ask three times before being admitted, and in fact this is not a bad way to work. Even though you might admire a person’s tenacity, if you still feel at the third time of asking that it is not appropriate to read the cards for them, then be kind but firm, and deter them once and for all.
