The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man is a card of surrender and sacrifice that asks you to embrace the unknown and surrender to the present moment. It is a card of self-sacrifice, letting go of old habits or beliefs in order to make room for new perspectives and growth. The card can also indicate a need to look at a situation from a new perspective, to turn things upside down in order to see them more clearly. UPRIGHT: Indicate a moment of pause or transition, a willingness to sacrifice control or to let go of old patterns of thinking, opening yourself up to new possibilities. REVERSE: Can indicate a reluctance to let go of control or a resistance to change. It suggests a fear of surrender or a desire to hold onto old patterns of thinking or behaving, even if they are no longer serving you.
