The Hanged Man reversed illustrates that you have been avoiding a difficult situation. You are scared to take a step, knowing that the outcome would not be positive for you. You are clinging to the hope that things will work out in your favor. You are also trying to prevent yourself from taking a hard and painful decision. Sometimes, the reversed Hanged Man represents a sign that things are not working as they should in your life. The universe seems to be playing a trick on you to prevent you from making the right decisions in your life. Or you can be denying the reality and avoiding making a decision. Regardless of the reason, the only way to get rid of this feeling is to deal with it. For this, you must take a hard and honest look at your current situation and decide whether you can push through with the changes or whether you surrender and give in.
