Tarot Lesson: The Hanged Man

For an ordered list of Tarot lessons go to the link at the upper right hand side of the blog and view the lessons in order.  If this is your first time here you really need to start at the beginning to learn about the tarot journals, how I set them up and how you can use my technique to learn to intuitively and emotionally connect more deeply to your cards.

The purpose is not to just read other interpretations and use those, but to learn how to see the cards deeply from your own perspective.  that process is what allows you to become a good reader.  If you spend all your time memorizing the interpretations of others you will eventually lose interest (and not be the best Tarot reader you can be)

The Hanged Man

The first obvious thing in this picture is of course the man is hanging upside down by his foot.

He has a halo looking light around his head.  The greenery grows in the background.

He doesn’t appear to be upset or struggling – more complacent like he has accepted his fate and so he just hangs there.

This card speaks to me of “comfort zones”  – things that are not necessarily good for you, do not lead to growth, but yet for whatever reason you become resigned and continue to just hang in there.

The greenery in the background suggests to me that there are “greener pastures” waiting if one can just correct their path and right themselves.

The halo suggests to me wisdom and meditation – connecting with the Universal mind or one’s higher power to look for solutions rather than struggling or fighting what is

In the stillness our answers come which allow us to see clearly how to correct our path.

Tarot Lesson: Justice

Sorry it’s been awhile so I am going to post a few of these today ;) If at any time you want to view the lessons I post in order check the page links over on the sidebar – there is a link for viewing the lessons in order.

Remember do your own journal entries before reading mine to achieve the best results! The goal is teaching you how to connect with your own cards in your own style. Just reading and memorizing other people’s ideas/interpretations is not going to give you the intuitive, connected feeling you require to attach the imagery appropriately.

Justice

In this card the woman sits on the throne. There are justice scales in one hand and an upright sword in the other. This card has an aura of strength – clear vision. She is facing us head on from a seat of authority. The sword upright suggests someone ready to take action. It also speaks of “sharpness” or an idea that is on target.

Justice scales speak of being well balanced, next to the sword of action it tells me that the woman has carefully weighed all options and is contemplating and about to take action that is both swift, but fair.

When I see this card I think of someone who detaches emotionally and approaches problems with logic and analysis in an effort to be unbiased.
