Seeing the actual picture, rather than self-deception, is the first step in learning the lesson of this particular tarot card.
It is at moments like these that we need to remember the image of Temperance and what it stands for, internally and externally. Are we willing to look inside ourselves to seek where we need change or where we need to hold fast to our ideals, beliefs, and foundational purpose?
Death is a disintegration of the old in favor of the true. Who are we, what are we, where are we, why are we, and how are we in this lifetime? We can ask the same of our ancestors and ancients, just as our children and descendants will ask the same of us.
The Hanged Man tarot card encourages observation and taking the role of non-action. We surrender our need to do something in favor of waiting to see what happens. We look at the world from a non-traditional stance: hanging upside down, which clears our vision and allows us to find a solution from the forest that surrounds us rather than the trees that are too numerous to count.
We stand as a nation with all the tools needed spread before us, yet we are paralyzed through emotional attachment to the past, to revenge, and to a definition of “justice” rather than a desire to embrace the principle of Justice.
