The Tarot Cards Reading: Strength and the Hanged Man

Strength is represented by a young woman controlling a lion. Her head dresses a crowned hat; which means that she is a woman who has a lot of power. Her red dress is the symbol of her strength.

This tarot card is the symbol of the spirit domination over physical strength and also represents humanity as it is supposed to be.

Basic meaning:

In the right position: conviction, energy, heroism, mental and/or physical strength...

In the reversed position: weak pettiness, pride, arrogance...

Examples:

When Strength is located to the right of the Magician it predicts a striking success in someone's workplace.

Placed to the right side of the Empress, Strength may prove pregnancy problems.

When Strength card comes in a negative position in a question play (to the right), it predicts a blocked position due to the lack of conviction or confidence of the consultant.

When placed as the answer of the play (at the bottom), it means that the situation will adjust thanks to the efforts of the consultant.

Strength is a very positive card.

The Hanged Man - Major Arcana XII

The Hanged Man represents passivity, the events over which we have no control. It is also a phase of mysticism.

The Hanged Man lost his energy. The dominant colors of this cards are those of intellect, passion, action and nature.

The Hanged Man sees the world upside down, but perhaps The Hanged Man sees what others do not.

This Tarot card represents introspection, questioning. It is synonymous with expectation. But certainly not the end of something.

Basic Meaning:

The Hanged Man in the right position: punishment, forced immobility, discipline, you have no control on what happens to you or on what you are expecting...

This Tarot card in the reversed position: unnecessary sacrifice, egotism, delusions, anxiety...

Examples:

While pulling four cards - a question play then - the Hanged Man comes in a positive position (to the left), your expectations and patience will be rewarded, things are slow, it takes time to study and run a project.

If The Hanged Man is pulled in the negative position (to the right of the play), it means that the situation is blocked.

When the Hanged Man is the answer (at the bottom) it predicts that the long wait will be rewarded, a project will be properly studied and will succeed.

The Hanged Man placed to the right of the Tower means catastrophic immobility for someone (imprisonment for instance).

On the left side of Strength: remember that patience is a wise virtue and that it is always rewarded.
