Free Tarot Card Meanings for the Hanged Man
In addition to the devil and the death card, the tarot card depicting the hanged man gives pause to many a querent who sees the card's imagery for the very first time. No matter how often the symbolism of the cards - as opposed to the face value - is pointed out, the fact that many a truth seeker who might have gotten a reading for the first time is a bit unsettled cannot be denied. Thus, if you are getting your reading for the first time or even for free, tarot card meanings should be read up on ahead of time to avoid nervousness or false impressions from clouding your judgment and ability to focus your energies on presenting your questions.
Counting as the 12th card of the Major Arcana, the hanged man in old days was referred to as the traitor, but this flew directly in the face of some of the symbolism and entirely discounted the divine aspects of the symbolism. The hanged man card is not unique in the need for modifying cards, but it is somewhat unique in that it may notate either a positive or an entirely negative slant on your actions. For example, its appearance may point to sacrifice or even patient acceptance of aspects related to life, a particular situation, or even the world such as it appears.
On the other hand, the hanged man card may also point to your somewhat misguided passivity in a time when you needed to act or should be doing something other than waiting or simply giving up. It is generally accepted practice that the hanged man encourages the querent to make a personal sacrifice and in so doing promises a new perspective to the person willingly letting go of something that is of value. Mind you, this is not necessarily something tangible or fiscally valuable but it may be a sacrifice of time, patience, or even temper!
Do not be fooled into thinking that when getting a reading for free, tarot card meanings are somehow different from the way they would be if you were a paying customer. Although there might be some unscrupulous card readers who may for personal gain skew the reading, but by and large those who accept the responsibility of connecting to the spiritualist realm with the cards refuse to be for hire in this manner. Enjoy your reading and look on the hanged man not with dread, but instead see him with excitement in that he promises to bring about a change.
