Hanged Man: Handling Storms

The Hanged Man Tarot Card: Rise above your problems

Storms happen. You don’t have control over these things. That is a simple reality. All you can do is deal with them the best you can. So when things are tough, and you are having a hard time dealing with the circumstances around you, rise above it. Don’t sink to the lower levels of it and dwell in the sadness and the frustration of it. Ascend above it. Mentally and spiritually rise above it and look down upon it with a bird’s eye view.

You will discover an entirely different perspective from it from this vantage point. From this vantage point, you will see angles you didn’t realize where there when you in the thick of it. With this view of different angles, you will find solutions you would never otherwise see. So today, when problems arise and you feel overwhelmed, rise above your problems. Rise above the storms of life. You will be amazed at just how different it all looks from above.

The Hanged Man: No Point Complaining

The Hanged man Tarot Card: Sometimes the rain is going to fall

The Hanged Man Tarot Card wants you to consider, if there is nothing you can do about it, why worry about it? Why spend your energy whining and complaining about things that you cannot control? Maybe it’s raining. Maybe you don’t want it to rain. Can you do anything to stop the rain? No. You can’t. So quit complaining about the rain! All you can do is get into the flow of the rain. Adjust yourself to it. Carry an umbrella. Wear a raincoat. Put some boots on. Whatever. The rain isn’t going to stop just to suit your wants and needs. Get that through your head.

What in your life represents this rain? What can you not change that you wish you could, but can’t? Adjust yourself to it and be happy no matter what.

The Hanged Man Tarot Card: Synergy and Perspective

There are many perspectives to explore

The hanged man tarot card reminds us of perspectives. We all have a perspective of the world, and this perspective is contingent upon our experiences, expectations, desires, hopes, fears, and preoccupations. It is though conversations, art, writing, music, and all other such talents and modes of expression that we share our perspective with others. In sharing our perspectives, we give others the opportunity to experience the benefit of them, whether they agree or not. It is all together possible that your perspective is radically different from others, and that they do not agree with what you believe.

In not agreeing with another person’s perspective, the opportunity is created to truly define your own perspective by analyzing and giving thought to what it is you do not agree with. Just how different is this other person’s idea from yours? Is there any common ground between them? What can you learn from analyzing this other idea? On the flip side of that, by agreeing, your own perspective is strengthened by validation. This is true of everybody who analyzes and compares their ideas to those of others. Doing this generates a synergy of power as a multitude of people feel validated by their viewpoint without having to struggle to be understood.

This though, does create the risk of complacency and homogeny as so many people sharing the same viewpoint stop looking for differentiations and when a differentiation does come, it is viewed as a threat to a way that has long been established. Now, change to this viewpoint is difficult to achieve without a tremendous amount of people sharing an opposing viewpoint who are willing to speak up and express their opposition.

In time, this opposing viewpoint will gain a foothold in the minds and psyches of the given population and become integrated into the given society just as the original viewpoint it originally opposed, which by now has been altered and changed in reaction to this opposition.

Let the hanged man tarot card remind you of this. It is through listening to what others have to say that change, revolution, and evolution, happen. Don’t let an opposing perspective scare you. Take a close look at it and see where you can change you own ideas to accept them. Look closely too at what differences exist between your ideas and those you don’t agree with. How can this gap be bridged? How can bridging this gap create something new for yourself and for the world?

Let the hanged man tarot card also remind you to never be shy about expressing yourself. Let the world know what you are thinking and how you feel. In whatever mode you do this, do it. Write, sing, paint, talk, whatever. By letting people know your thoughts, they too can compare their ideas to yours and create a bridge to their own understanding.
