You feel a little confused and perhaps fearful because you sense or know that there is someone or something you need to give up to be able to move on. This self-sacrifice isn't always clear - you may not even know quite what or whom you should give up. This is a time of passage from one phase of your life to another and The Hanged Man can signify a time of spiritual development too. Perhaps you need to try and look at things from a different perspective.
The cards suggest that what you most want at this time is to find the strength and willpower to see you through and achieve what you want. It is important to come from a place of love and tolerance though, not aggression. Put your fears to rest and develop a positive attitude and you'll reap richer rewards.
You are afraid of taking action and lack confidence and willpower, but this is a time to be positive and proactive to prevent loss of momentum, delays and stagnation. Completion and success are only a step away. Don't give up, lose heart or change direction when you are so close to the finish line.
You are instinctively taking time to relax and reflect, drawing on your inner strength and wisdom to guide you through this difficult period in your life. Time is a great healer, so even if you don't know quite what to do now, you will eventually make the right decision. The Hermit signals a warning not to make hasty decisions. Make sure you observe a period of rest and recuperation if you have been unwell.
There are conflicts around you, frustrations and possibly a breakup in a relationship. Be careful not to overreact and become too protective or dictatorial about your needs, and whatever you do, do not resort to emotional blackmail - it won't do you any favours. You may be experiencing infertility problems or an unplanned pregnancy. If so just know that there are people around you who love and care for you and will provide support.
Love is coming into your life even if you really can't see where from at this time. If you are on your own a new lover will soon enter your life. If you are in an unhappy relationship you have a choice to make - go with your heart, take the risk. Greater happiness is ahead of you.
