The Hanged Man
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.
Card 3: Your fears »

Strength
You are fearful of lacking the willpower and strength to deal with someone or something that concerns you.
Feeling negative and listening to all your fears will only create failure and lost opportunities. Be as brave as a lion but work compassionately and you'll be fine.

The Star
A wish come true, this is a time of good luck and fortune, perhaps after a period of struggle and heartache.
Good health, possibly after a time of illness, and good fortune will give you a new zest for life.
If considering a new love affair, new employment, a career change, or you wish to travel, then go for it.
You may also receive an unexpected gift!

The Tower
However hard you try to control events they just won't go your way.
Unexpected challenges, upheaval and disappointment will bring expectations to an end.
Subconsciously you may have wanted a solution - you just didn't expect it to happen this way.
Use this period of change as an opportunity for a new beginning.
If you have been planning to move home you will be experiencing setbacks.

The Hermit
This is a time for you to be alone or may herald a time of loneliness. Take this time for quiet introspection and rest.
Don't worry, you will find the answers, but the Hermit signals a warning not to make hasty decisions.
If you have been unwell this is a time for rest and recuperation.
