Well, heck. We’ve been talking about seeing doom around every corner, dealing with heartbreak, and moving on. Notice the trend here? Addressing difficult situations is evidently on the menu and we’re not quite done with the topic, says Tarot. Ignore what Tarot says at your own peril, says Dixie. Ha!

It’s not so bad, though, really. Because if you know how to weather the storms, you are set in inclement weather and sunshine alike. You have the tools, the strength, and the insight on hand, readily available to handle whatever life tosses your way. And that’s a good thing.

Today’s Tarot is the Hanged Man, coming in inverted. I always chuckle at seeing this card inverted, because it feels a little paradoxical, as he’s upside down to begin with. So is he upside down, really, or right side up, or both? Appropriate for a Neptunian card, I’d say.

The Hanged Man refers to faith and acceptance, so usually, when you see this card inverted, we’re probably talking about difficulty letting go, a lack of faith, or fighting acceptance. In almost every version I’ve ever seen, the man has an expression of utter serenity—a strong indicator of the energy of this card. As advice, the card is related to waiting. The tide comes and goes, so watch your timing.

Thinking in terms of tides is a very effective way to address this energy, by the way. This is a Neptunian card all the way, so know whatever concerns you have will roll out just as effortlessly as they rolled in. This is not the time to look for “closure,” trying to resolve, or demanding answers. You won’t find that kind of resolution right now, no matter how much you’d prefer. So why not make peace with the uncertainty?

I know it’s hard sometimes, because I struggle with it myself. I can tell you without hesitation, though, the struggle over controlling that beyond my control doesn’t seem to improves the odds I’ll like what I get. It just makes me miserable though the process. Might as well assume it will work out, because it will. May not work out how you’d like, sure, but it will work out regardless. Life keeps moving, after all, whether you’re going with the flow or swimming against the tide.

The Hanged Man tells us we can’t know all the answers right now. Sometimes, it’s just flat out of your hands. Inverted, consider this a nudge to make peace with that fact. If you’re wondering what your job is now, it’s simple: cultivate your faith. It’s your best bet here, hands down.

How are you are dealing with unfinished business?
