Tarot Tuesday ~ The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man asks us to take a slightly more hands-off approach to certain situations that feel complicated this week. It does not mean give up or abandon your ideas or pursuits. It just suggests that, as you try to untangle any sticky situations (particularly interpersonal relationships, partnerships, collaborations, etc.), that you simply pause and observe for a short while.

Notice points of tension or remaining attachments, and try to look at things from a different perspective. Without being too influenced by others, just let yourself sit with it. And then slowly & gently, release the struggle or outcome or whatever you might be clinging to. You may find yourself closer to a solution or resolution than you realize.. so long as you don’t make things worse by making any sudden moves or decisions without proper forethought.

You may find that with stillness, epiphanies arise. You may discover a different approach, an innovative idea, or a new opportunity may present itself to help you along your way. This is the wisdom and gift of the Hanged Man. Let things be.. even just temporarily, and in the long run you will see why this brief moment of reflection was necessary and perhaps even pivotal.

We have a New Moon approaching this Sunday April 27th in the sign of Taurus, which is a slower, more thoughtful energy. The potential for wealth, health, and greater stability is amplified through Taurus, but especially when you honor the need to plant these seeds of intention with careful thought and consideration.
