The Hanged Man may upset the status-quo
In tarot, The Hanged Man can scare people. He can anger them. He can even enrage them. He does this by speaking the truth. He sees and he speaks the absolute truth. He is not taken in or fooled by the facades and the projections that so many people use as shields to hide their truths. As he sees through these, he calls people out. He makes them face these truths. He makes them feel naked and vulnerable because the protection that the shield was meant to offer this protection is stripped away and now there is nothing but the ugliness about themselves for them to accept. But they don’t want to accept that. They don’t want to have to deal with this ugly truth. They themselves are bothered by it and are not equipped to face it. This is the reason for the facades and the shields. They feel threatened by the natural flow of nature and want to illusion of control over it. When that illusion of control is stripped away, they get defensive against the one who stripped it away by seeing through it. This often triggers them to go into the offense and lash out against the one who saw through it- the Hanged Man. They then identify the Hanged Man as somebody who will see through their facades and projections, and then fear and despise them for it. – Jim Larsen
