ARIES: THE HANGED MAN

Stop fighting. Stop resisting. Stop trying to force something to be what it’s plainly not. Instead, surrender. Let the circumstances and environment be what they are, without your intervention. Then, step back and review the whole situation. Is this what you want? If nothing changed, could you stand it? The Hanged Man is a powerful card of acceptance. It reminds you that when you can’t change your surroundings, you might have to change yourself. A new perspective will emerge to help you through this.
