Career card: career choices and what's going on at the moment: The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man upright is a reminder that sometimes it’s necessary to take a step back and pause before taking the next step. This card encourages us to let go of old mental models and behavioral patterns that no longer serve us so we can see our world from a new perspective and embrace new opportunities.

This pause can be voluntary or involuntary, depending on how in tune you are with your intuition. If you’re able to recognize when it’s time to hit the brakes, you can avoid getting into situations that could become out of hand. The Hanged Man reminds us that sometimes we need to take a break for us to move forward in life. It encourages us to look at things from different angles and find creative solutions rather than relying on the same old methods.
