The Hanged Man Tarot Card Meaning
,
-Stepping back to go forward-
The Hanged Man is one of the most unusual cards in the Tarot deck. Yet the image of a man hanging upside down from one leg does not quite depict the morbid scene one might imagine. In fact, he seems quite content with his predicament! The meaning of this card is a little out of the ordinary. The Hanged Man is a great believer in doing the opposite to what your head tells you you should do. The message he gives is that there are times when the only way to get what we want is to let go and not try. Sometimes in order to go forward we need to take a step backward - and to win we need to surrender. When the Hanged Man turns up you really should try seeing the world from his point of view: upside down.
