The Hanged Man (Reversed) | Tarot Card
The Hanged Man reversed is back on his feet!
After spending considerable time suspended upside-down from the Tree of Wisdom, he is now ready to walk out into the world again, with valuable new insights. He has made tremendous sacrifices and has surrendered his ego's assumptions of how life should unfold. Instead he given himself over to the greater wisdom of the tree he spent so many years suspended from.
The Hanged Man embodies the idea of making a temporary sacrifice in order to achieve a greater goal. This may entail relinquishing time, energy, comfort, resources, old habits, or an outdated attitude. Often, success necessitates sacrifice. By directing your best energies and resources towards your objective, you can increase its potential to manifest.
The reversed Hanged Man symbolizes a period of awakening and resurgence, where the lessons learned from a phase of suspension and introspection are now being integrated into one's life. This card indicates a time of action and forward movement, suggesting that the sacrifices made have paved the way for new beginnings. It represents a transition from a state of passive waiting to active participation in shaping one's destiny. The insights gained during the period of suspension have endowed you with a new perspective, allowing you to approach life with a renewed sense of purpose and understanding. This card encourages you to apply the wisdom and patience you've cultivated to your current endeavors. It’s a reminder that the sacrifices and challenges you've faced have not been in vain but have been instrumental in your personal growth and evolution. The Hanged Man reversed invites you to embrace the changes you’ve undergone and to step confidently into this new chapter of your life, equipped with a deeper understanding of yourself and your path.

What changes would you like to make in your life?
Do you have a goal that requires substantial effort? Is the prospect of making a sacrifice daunting because it entails significant change?
If you aspire to accomplish anything of lasting value in this life, you will need to make sacrifices. The currency of the Universe is "exchange": what you put in, you will get out. It is reassuring to know that if you make sacrifices and do the work, you can alter the course of your destiny. Any goal can be attained, but it requires that something be relinquished. Initially, sacrificing something may feel like a loss. This is an illusion. Investing time and energy in what empowers you can free you from habits and attitudes that have been keeping you stuck.
When the Hanged Man appears reversed, it is as if all that felt upside-down is turning right-side-up again.
You may also feel more grounded and surer of your path. You have been suspended from your own metaphorical tree of wisdom, and now it is time to engage with life using the wisdom you’ve gained. All your sacrifices up until now have indeed been worth it. This is because you are perceiving your experiences within a wider context. Be proud of the things you have achieved and sacrificed for. When you look on the world with the wisdom you’ve earned through your many sacrifices, it no longer appears upside-down.
