Hello,
Thought that was a better title than ‘The Hanged Man” For that is the card I picked at random for this weeks card.
It is asking you to look at a situation from every conceivable angle, not just ‘head on’, upside, downside, left, right, you name it, check out the situation from it. It highlights to us that things often need to be turned on their heads to make sense. When you do, the light of illumination appears at your head, (this is the same that is shown in the Hermits lamp )
It warns that if you do not look at every angle, you will stagnate and that can lead to depression, as you begin to think there is no way to change. No way out as it were.You know the old saying of doing the same thing and expecting different results? Well that is what the Hanged Man can signify.
When this card appears in a reading I often ask the client what they are not seeing, or choosing not to deal with, that can open the dialogue to what is going on for them and in that way I can help them see possibility that may have escaped them for the moment.
You know how that can be right? Can’t see the wood for the trees…good way to describe this card.
Until the next time
