THE HANGED MAN
Basic Card Symbols: A man hanging by one foot from a Tau cross - sometimes from a bar or tree. His free leg is always bent to form a "4," his face is always peaceful, never suffering. Sometimes his hands are bound, sometimes they dangle. Sometimes coins fall out of his pockets or hands.
Basic Tarot Story: The Fool settles beneath a tree, intent on finding his spiritual self. There he stays for nine days, without eating, barely moving. People pass by him, animals, clouds, the wind, the rain, the stars, sun and moon. On the ninth day, with no conscious thought of why, he climbs a branch and dangles upside down like a child, giving up for a moment, all that he is, wants, knows or cares about. Coins fall from his pockets and as he gazes down on them - seeing them not as money but only as round bits of metal - everything suddenly changes perspective. It is as if he's hanging between the mundane world and the spiritual world, able to see both. It is a dazzling moment, dreamlike yet crystal clear. Connections he never understood before are made, mysteries are revealed.
But timeless as this moment of clarity seems, he realizes that it will not last. Very soon, he must right himself, and when he does, things will be different. He will have to act on what he's learned. For now, however, he just hangs, weightless as if underwater, observing, absorbing, seeing.
The Hanged Man represents looking at things from a new perspective or from a different point of view. It means opening up to someone else’s feelings to a situation or consolidating their point of view with yours. The Hanged Man also represents letting go of the ego in order to see the good of all concerned rather then just the self. The Hanged Man hangs from legs that are crossed which depict a hanging on to one position but still looking from another. Although the Hanged Man represents a view from a different perspective it represents only a catalyst for change rather then a change from tradition itself. In the tarot the Hanged Man is always the card prior to official change and it usually represents the hope and fear of a different more challenging path. The Hanged Man also brings up the idea of the total worth of one idea as compared to another. The Hanged Man symbolizes the revelation that life is different depending on whichever way you choose to look at it.
