Hanged Man as Feelings
Hanged Man as Feelings for Ex
I once made a ‘yes and no’ spread about Ex’s feelings for my friend and got a Hanged Man. The picture of the card was quite understandable and intuitively it was easy to interpret. So I did that, just said ‘no’ to her question. And here in this post, I want to dive deeper into all the aspects of the meaning of this card in order to learn more about why ‘no’. Here is a brief meaning of the Arcanum.
The meaning of the Taro Arcanum Hanged Man as feelings in love readings – your relationships and feelings are in a suspended mode now, and no good change is going to happen in the nearest future. You should use this time for self-reflection and finding your new values in life and love. Especially if you are in a victim role now.
If you want to learn exact answers to your questions about love and relationship in case you got the Hanged Man – follow my thoughts in this post.
For those who don’t have time for reading the whole article, I prepared a very brief summary of questions and answers according to the Hanged Man love tarot meaning in one word.
As for spreads for beginners, I recommend 1 card love spread. If you are interested to learn more and see the development of your relationship use 3 card spread. Keep in mind that your attitude is very important.
General Meaning of the Hanged Man in the Upright Position
Let’s start with the picture of the card. The impression I get from the card has nothing in common with happiness and joy. The situation depicted in the card is very unpleasant. Still, the green leaves give me a chance of some hope for the better.
Look at the face of the hanged man – there is no suffering or despair. The face is calm and peaceful. And that is why I have a feeling that he has adopted a victim role voluntarily and consciously. Literally, it means that in order to get something he needs, he is ready to sacrifice his interests, ideas, desire, feelings, etc. A good example of that could be mothers, who are ready to sacrifice everything in favor of their children.
What does the Hanged Man need actually? Look at the yellow rays around his head – he needs clarification of his mind and enlightenment, an understanding of his role in this world, and finding new values. And in this aspect, you’ll see some similarities between the Highest Priestess and the Hermit.
Of course, it is a passive card. I am sure there is no doubt why. So things are not going to happen fast.
He is wearing red pants. Usually, the red color is a symbol of passion, life, and desires. But in the case of the Hanged Man, we have suppressed passion and desires.
The general meaning of the Tarot Hanged Man in the everyday life is
- Adopting a victim role voluntarily
- Readiness to sacrifice your interests
- Things are not going to happen fast
- Suspended mode, feeling of being tired
- Suppressing passions and desires
Upright Hanged Man Prediction in Questions about Love and Feelings
In my spreads, I use this Tarot deck, you may check it here.
Tarot Hanged Man: Will I meet my love?
Here I cover the meaning that is usually used for a one-card spread for singles with only one question.
I am sure you already know the answer to the question taking into account the general meaning of the card. The Hanged Man as new love means that you will not meet or find your new love in the nearest future. The Hanged Man denotes stagnation and that’s why nothing new is going to happen.
Also as the card is a very slow one, you’ll stay alone for a minimum of six months. Some readers tell 12 months because it is the twelfth Arcanum. But I stick to the opinion of 6 months. We have green leaves on the card and thus there is hope for better.
So, the meaning and interpretation of the upright Hanged Man as divination to question “Will I meet a new love” as “No, you will not meet your love in the nearest future, at least within the nearest six months”.
Tarot Hanged Man: Does he love me? How much does he love me?
It is not easy to give a simple answer to this question if the Hanged Man appears. As a rule, I pull out one more card to make the divination clear. Still, if you have only one card in your spread the Hanged Man will tell you the following.
In some cases, the Hanged Man as feelings denotes unrequited love. And you might be the one who loves but doesn’t meet reciprocity. When the Hanged Man appears upright in a feelings-based tarot reading, it signifies emotional surrender, contemplation, and a shift in perspective. This card suggests that someone is in a state of emotional pause, reassessing their feelings rather than acting on them. They may feel uncertain, conflicted, or stuck, choosing to wait and reflect rather than move forward. While their emotions could be deep, they are likely holding back, trying to see the situation from a new angle before making a decision.
Another possible situation is that you sacrifice your interests in favor of your partner and feel like a victim in this relationship. And of course, in this context, the Hanged Man as feelings means that his love is not evident at all.
And in general, the Hanged Man as how he feels about me denotes that his love and feelings tend to fade, and he is not ready to develop this relationship. The Hanged Man suggests that they see you as significant but are in a state of emotional limbo. They may admire or care for you deeply but feel unable to act on their emotions right now. This card hints at internal struggles—perhaps they are reevaluating their needs, priorities, or personal growth before making a move. Their feelings are not absent, but they require time to develop clarity before expressing them.
In a romantic context, the Hanged Man suggests that someone’s feelings are evolving, but they may not be ready to take action. They could feel emotionally drawn to you yet hesitant, as if they need time to process their emotions fully. This card indicates a period of waiting, where love is present but not yet fully realized or expressed. Rather than rushing into romance, this person may need to let go of past expectations and embrace a new perspective on love.
Don’t be upset, the Hanged Man urges you to review your values and understanding of your role in this world. So use your time not for suffering but for self-analysis.
So, the meaning and interpretation of the upright Hanged Man as divination to question “Does he love me? How much does he love me?” as “No, he doesn’t love you.”
Tarot Hanged Man as Intentions
When it comes to intentions, the Hanged Man indicates hesitation and indecision. Rather than pursuing a clear course of action, this person is taking a step back to reflect. They may want to be with you, but something is holding them back—whether it’s past experiences, emotional uncertainty, or a fear of change. Their intentions are not negative, but they are in a holding pattern, needing time before they can fully commit or move forward.
Tarot Hanged Man: Will he confess his love?
If you get the Hanged Man the answer is obvious – he will not confess his love. Because this card means a pause and stagnation. And that refers to his desire to confess even if he had such a wish previously.
Another aspect of the meaning of this card is that he might be tired of your relationship. But at the moment he is not able to change anything. And that might be the reason why there will be no confession.
One more interpretation is quite rare but has sense. He might confess his love. But not because he loves you. He wants to use your relationship for his own benefit. So, don’t believe him, if that happens.
I am sure you remember that this card is slow, so be ready that such a situation will last at least six months.
So, the meaning and interpretation of the upright Hanged Man as divination to question “Will he confess his love?” as “No, he won’t and if he will – don’t believe him.”
Tarot Hanged Man: Is he a good match / partner for me? Is he the one?
If you got the Hanged Man to this question, you are more likely to not have any choice. As if it were the last chance of yours to be with a man. And you are ready for any sacrifices just to not stay alone. In such a situation it is really very doubtful if he is a good match.
Or that might be another situation. If you are now in a relationship that brings you a feeling of a victim and you do not have the power or strength to change something. So, I would definitely not recommend you to stay with this partner. He is not the one, for sure.
Of course, if you consider that it is normal for a woman to adopt a victim role in the relationship, then there might be a chance. But think it over one more time. Do you really want that?
So, the meaning and interpretation of the upright Hanged Man as divination to question “Is he a good match / partner for me? Is he the one?” as “No, he is not unless you believe that being a victim is ok.”
Tarot Hanged Man: Will he make a marriage proposal?
If he still hasn’t made a marriage proposal, the Hanged Man as marriage tells you that this situation will be on the suspended mode and nothing is going to change within at least six months.
It might be quite possible that his wish to make a proposal faded. And he is not going to change that.
Again, another meaning might be that he would make a marriage proposal because he has some hidden interest, usually some material benefit. And in this case, you’ll become a victim. And he will also make a sacrifice of his real feelings because of his ignoble purposes. Not a good situation for both of you.
So, the meaning and interpretation of the upright Hanged Man as divination to question “Will he make a marriage proposal?” as “No, he will not and if he will – don’t believe him.”
Upright Hanged Man as Feelings for Ex
Tarot Hanged Man: Does my Ex love me?
If you’re asking about an ex’s feelings, the Hanged Man suggests that they are still processing the relationship and haven’t fully moved on. They may feel emotionally stuck, seeing the breakup from a different perspective but not yet taking action. This card indicates that they are in a period of emotional reevaluation, trying to understand what the relationship meant and whether they should let go or hold on.
If you still have to communicate with each other, for example, because you have common children, the Hanged Man doesn’t change its meaning. He still doesn’t love you. And he keeps in touch with you just because he has to. It is kind of his sacrifice.
Hanged Man: Does he think of me? Does he miss me?
Hanged Man as thoughts means that he thinks of you. But not because of love. His memory is full of unpleasant moments in your relationship. He might still have a feeling of being a victim in your relationship. Or that he had to sacrifice so many things.
If you’re wondering whether someone misses you, the Hanged Man suggests that they do, but they are not actively expressing it. Instead of reaching out, they are sitting with their emotions, reflecting on what the relationship meant. They may feel nostalgic or even regretful, but they are not yet in a place where they are ready to act on those emotions. Their heart is in the past, but they need time to process what they truly want.
Tarot Hanged Man as Feelings after Breakup
After a breakup, the Hanged Man indicates emotional suspension, where someone is neither fully moving on nor actively trying to reconcile. They may feel uncertain about the breakup, questioning whether it was the right decision. This card suggests they are in a phase of deep reflection, looking at the relationship from a new perspective and trying to make sense of their emotions before deciding what to do next.
Tarot Hanged Man: Will my Ex come back?
When it comes to reconciliation, the Hanged Man suggests that someone is considering it but is not ready to take action yet. They may feel torn between moving forward and holding on to the past. Rather than rushing back into the relationship, they are taking a step back to evaluate if reuniting is truly the right choice. This card indicates the possibility of reconciliation in the future, but only after deep emotional introspection.
The only reason he might come back is when he feels committed, for example, to fulfill his role of a good father for your common children. Again it is a case when he sacrifices his desires and interests and becomes a victim.
Tarot Hanged Man: Will he contact me?
If you’re asking whether he will contact you, the Hanged Man suggests delays and hesitation. He may be thinking about reaching out but is holding himself back, unsure of what to say or how to approach the situation. Instead of taking immediate action, he is reflecting on his emotions, waiting for the right moment. While communication is possible, it may take time before he feels ready to reach out.
Upright Hanged Man Meaning for Relationship Analysis
Several variants are possible to describe your relationships if you got the Hanged Man.
Firstly, the Hanged Man as relationship analysis means that one of you is ready to sacrifice your relationships because of some more decent goals. It is not about other relationships. More likely because of material benefit or (which is very rare) higher ideas.
Secondly, your relationships ran out of steam and there is no desire from one of the partners to continue working at the development of the relationships. You or your partner do not get happiness, but inner discomfort staying together.
Thirdly, one of you might be tired of the love of the second partner. This situation is very similar to unrequited love.
In any case, the Hanged Man as an outcome doesn’t denote any breakup. More likely you will continue living in such relationships.
So, the meaning and interpretation of the upright Hanged Man as the analysis of your relationship is “Your relationships ran out of steam.”
