The Hanged Man
"The Hanged Man represents a time of suspension and waiting. He encourages you to look at things from a different perspective and let go of control."
Upright
Pause and reflect. Let go of the need to control. A shift in perspective is needed.
Reversed
Delays, resistance, or stalling. You may be holding onto something that no longer serves you. It's time to make a sacrifice.
Love & Relationships
A pause in the relationship. It's not the time to push for action. Let go and see things from your partner's point of view.
Career & Work
Projects may be stalled. Don't force it. Use this time to rethink your strategy or learn a new skill.
Money & Finance
Money might be tight or delayed. A sacrifice now (saving) will lead to gain later. Change your perspective on wealth.
