The Hanged Man represents a turning point; from his perspective everything looks different. This card represents a shift in ones viewpoint that brings a whole different understanding of the world. Even though he does not seem to be in control, it must be understood that he is in this position out of his own choice. He is suspended, and in this position, no action can be done. Instead, he contemplates, in waiting, to accept what the universe gives to him. There is stillness in this card, and lots of waiting. But the emptiness allows the hanged man to change his understanding of the world. He dives headfirst into the depths, which threaten to swallow him whole. Though one would normally be afraid, he has no fear, for he understands that what the universe gives him is infinitely loving.
