Description and Symbolism
Esoteric Symbolism Embedded in the Hanged Man
A man has hung himself upside down on a branch that has beautiful green leaves sprouting from it. His hands are behind his back. Only one leg is tied to the tree branch. The other leg forms an inverted number four. The inverted symbol is symbolic of someone whom awaits spiritual completion.
The red color of his pants denotes a passion for his beliefs. The blue color of his shirt is symbolic for the letter Mem, which means water. Water will reverse an image and the Hanged Man’s keyword is “reversal” because he reverses his thoughts and everything that he thinks he knows.
Around his head is a shinning yellow light, which gives this card the “ah-ha” moment. That light bulb moment we all have when we’ve just thought of the best idea. The yellow light is symbolic of the life-breath of the eternal light in all and everything.

The Hanged Man can indicate someone who is adept at illusion. You could meet someone who spins fantastic stories, like a screenwriter or novelist. They are usually psychic and need time alone in order to gain further wisdom and understanding.

Hanged Man in Love Readings
Understanding the Hanged Man in Romance
If you are searching for love, it may not be the best time to get involved in a relationship. You’ll have to wait. There will be a delay getting the one you love. Your love interest also runs the risk of being too in love with love, so that they would rather have you as a fantasy than you as the real person.
If you are in a relationship, you or your partner may love being in love. You may be very pure in heart always believing the best in your partner. You love giving plenty of boxes of chocolates or flowers to your loved one. You spend time re writing your wedding vows and take care to include a heart felt message in a birthday or anniversary card. This is because the Hanged Man stands for understanding the power of thought. We are what we believe. The more we love and express our love, the more love we receive in return.
Hanged Man as Feelings
Emotional Insights of the Hanged Man
You may feel like something has turned upside down. Maybe you’ve thought you were in love before, but when you meet this new man or woman, you see things differently. You may have the feeling that you now know what love really is. You simply feel something you haven’t felt before.
You have a reversal of feelings and usually, almost always, in a good way. In fact, you probably see and feelings things correctly.
In a divinatory meaning, the Hanged Man as feelings means they do like you, but they probably don’t know it. You’ll either have to be patient or move on. They may never realize it.

The Hanged Man Reversed
There is a big tendency to martyr yourself and play the victim when the Hanged Man comes up Reversed. You maybe sulking, disenchanted and grieving some imaginary, overly dramatic loss. You’d rather believe that your life is a Mexican telenovela than see the truth of the situation. You might be so caught up in the production and illusion that you cannot see clearly. You may be suffering from delusions.
Psychic receptivity maybe over the top with the inability to control bad frequencies. Alternatively, psychic receptivity maybe blocked. You could be going from psychic to psychic in order for her to tell you what you want to hear. You feel determined to get the happy ending you think is only one step away while ignoring all the good, real and tangible things around you.
On a mundane level, the Hanged Man reversed can indicate mess up with the timing of something.
