When you see the Hanged Man and it is reversed it can signify failure, defeat and some times even a physical death. Depends on the cards around it and how they are positioned of course. You may be trying to show the world one thing but have a hidden agenda. The goals you have might be selfish, you might be preoccupied with your own plans and schemes. Some times this card indicates a very materialistic person. Traditionally this card is about sacrifice that might be unnecessary or useless. You are not keeping your word and are not in a place of integrity are all possible interpretations of this card. Could also be a false prophet and on a power trip. Consider why you do what you do? Do you feel you are truly coming from a place of integrity. When you give your word, do you honor it? In my marveena.com web site I talk about the importance of being true to our self to help us stay in the sweet spot of our souls journey. Some ways to come out from under this influence would be to soul search with how you are stuck in a materialistic frame of mind and what sort of ties are binding you to the past. Release your attachments to things that are not in harmony with your true soul's journey. This is the number 12 card in my deck , so it has the numerical value of 3.
