Hi,
Consider this;
As with the Hermit, many religions and myths describe a divine or semi-divine figure who chose to endure personal sacrifice in order to attain divine wisdom or even Godhood. In Norse myth, Odin, ruler of the Gods, hung for nine days and nights from the sacred tree, Yggdrasil, to attain the wisdom of the runes. In the case of the Hermit, seeking in solitude is the means to understanding your goal; in the Hanged man, the message is that personal sacrifice is required of you in order to attain it.
The point is that the choice must be yours, and the sacrifice must be a willing one, because the goal is worth it to you. Both sacrifices and goal may be on any one level. But whatever your goal is, there is the need to sacrifice your childish or selfish illusions to achieve your adult dreams. Just as God created humans in the divine image of the man or woman you choose to be. However, the only person you are entitled to sacrifice to attain your goals, is yourself.
Upright
Self-sacrifice, growth or wisdom, intuition. Devotion, surrender, renunciation.
Reversed
Selfishness, self-interest. Petty sacrifices, lack of commitment.
The Hanged Man requires that you be willing to suffer some loss or surrender some pleasure in order to attain your goal. The greater the goal, the greater the sacrifice required to win it. If this card represents you are going to have to pay-and pay dearly- for whatever it is that you want. If you are willing to pay the price, you can attain your goal. Just remind yourself throughout this time that the choice is yours: pay the price, or sacrifice the goal.
Some interpretations or theories include that a figure "Four" is created by the legs of the Hanged Man. Look at 4, take the card and compare it to the four as Upright and Reversed. Does it by any means resemble a four, or is it your "mind" assigning a symbol to the number 4 . Does it really amtch, ok, what did I write now. You know it is supposed to be match. So, is it a Four?
Further let's have a look at it's numbers, and associate these quickly.
The Hanged Man is 30-Lammed in the Existential sphere. Being in the Existential you have two others to consider;
3-Empress--Archetypal and 300-The World--Cosmic.
Therefore we have;
Archytepal-3-The Empress-Gimmel-(Venus),
This planet is the force of Passion and sex, associated to Aphrodite, Ishtar, Inanna and Astarte. These Goddesses, or most of them are not only associated to love and sex, but some also to war and strife.
It is comparitive to the Force of Fire(passion), but related to Water and Earth.
Existential-30-The Hanged Man-Lammed-(Water),
Emotions, Instincts, the Unconcious, Intuition, Dreams, Visions and Spiritual knowledge.
Cosmic-300-The World-Sheen-(Saturn),
The slowest planet in our galaxy, nearest to the Abyss of outer space, being the furthest away from the ancient seven planets. We associate this planet to the Gods, Chronos, Maveth, and Hades. Because of these qualities it is associated to the element of Earth and Water.
Rules:
Responsibility, Work Ethic, Strength through trial, Solved problems (while Mercury rules problems yet to be solved), Time, Discipline, Diligence, Self-control, Limitation, Patience, Stability, Maturity, Realism, Reliability, Trustworthiness, Patience, Courage, Steadfastness, Integrity, Destiny, and Fate.
Giving you all of this information is not to confuse you at all. It is advisable to take into account the fluent act of any card, it has a beginning and an end. By association you may also have insight on the influence a card has in any one spread, and how it may influence matters in future on different spheres of existence.
Only consider the possible influences on the lower and higher spheres of existence. You have no need to contemplate the other levels.
Blessed be.
