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When the Hanged Man shows in reverse, its possible that the time has come to let go of an outdated attitude, situation, or friendship.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.

Elements of the Psychic World
Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: Sai Baba was born into a low caste family on 23 November 1926, in Southern India. His miraculous powers allegedly began to manifest after he was stung by a black scorpion on 8 March 1940. On 23 May he announced that he was Sathya Sia Baba reborn; the original Sai Baba was a Brahman fakir at the turn of the century, who had allegedly produced astonishing miracles. After announcing that he was reborn Sai Baba presented his family with gifts of flowers and sweets, which he seemed to materialize with a wave of his hand.

Reversed Cards: The Hanged Man is ruled by the planet Neptune, which alludes to the real depths of this card, for Neptune rules the seas. Here in the retrograde aspect, I guess you could say that the water levels are lower than normal. Maybe we are at low tide, and low tide is where we get a glimpse of the magic that the sea has been hiding. But in order to find this magic, you need to slow down and walk the shoreline one step at a time. This ability to slow down, take your time, and examine every step you take is not always easy. Magic has been revealed for you. It is waiting for you to discover it, but you won’t see it if you don’t take your time. This is the subtle nature of spirit, the echo of awareness, and the mystical magic of the Hanged Man. It is easy to miss and almost always overlooked. So stop right now and explore where you are. Name every single thing you see in your line of vision. Don’t miss anything. Look at your feet and see which direction they are heading. What lessons does that direction have for you, and what will you find when you get there? What magic is hidden right in plain sight?

Tarot Triumphs: Be very cautious about pronouncing on such matters as physical illness, and never predict human death. It’s not in our remit as responsible Tarot readers. Be careful too not to use a reading as a vehicle to deliver a few home truths to a person you know well. Yes, the cards might indeed emphasize that this person is bossy or greedy or indecisive. But if this happens, try to look at the bigger picture: what is this characteristic a part of, in terms of the person’s outlook? Usually, extending our preconceptions in this way generates compassion and understanding, and then the desire to make a point about their behavior simply melts away.
