The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man represents suspension, letting go, sacrifice, and new perspectives. This card embodies the wisdom that comes from surrendering control and viewing situations from a different angle. It suggests that sometimes progress requires patience, sacrifice, or a willingness to let go of old patterns. The Hanged Man encourages you to embrace stillness, trust in divine timing, and find enlightenment through surrender rather than struggle.

When reversed, The Hanged Man indicates delays, resistance to sacrifice, or feeling stuck. You may be struggling to let go of control, avoiding necessary sacrifices, or feeling frustrated by lack of progress. This card can suggest that you're fighting against the natural flow of events or that your resistance is creating more problems. It may also indicate that a period of waiting or suspension is coming to an end.
