Is the Hanged Man a good card to get in a question about your love life?
Yes, it is. Not because the Hanged Man is the most romantic tarot card in the deck, but because the Hanged Man gives you the ability to see something in a new light. It is a good card both for singles and for people in relationships. It asks you to take a step back and observe. Let other people take center stage for a while, while you focus on what is important to you, free from comparing yourself to others.

At the same time, now it is not a good card to act because the Hanged Man asks you to focus your attention away from what you think you want. What you think you want and what you actually want tend to be two different things. The Hanged Man asks you to find the difference between the two. The Hanged Man will take you through a phase where you might feel like you are not winning much and it is hard to move forward. You are in preparation mode. You are a caterpillar preparing to be a butterfly.
The Hanged Man Tarot Card in a Love Reading
The Hanged Man has a tendency to show up when the seeker is under quite a lot of stress and pressure. In regards to love life, there might be pressure from family and friends to settle down. If you are already in a relationship, maybe people are putting pressure on you due to what they think you should be doing in your relationship. While you might not feel like you can be yourself entirely, the Hanged Man asks you to patiently wait. If you start running now, you might be running forever. This is not the time to make major life changes. You are learning to hold your own by following the law of non-resistance. Less is more at the moment. This means: The more you WANT a relationship, the FURTHER it slips away. The more you WANT a happy relationship, the LESS you get. This is the lesson of the Hanged Man tarot card. You can have everything you ever wanted as SOON as you stop wanting it so much.
If the Hanged Man is the final card in a love reading then the less you focus on your love life, the more you will get. The less interested you act, the more interested your love interest will be in you. That doesn’t mean you go and ignore your partner. No, it means you focus on your own self-development, interests, and passions. Actively create yourself from the inside out. Read books, get involved in something you find interesting, educate yourself. Become an interesting person. You might already be one, however, the Hanged Man advises to go further into the energy of creating yourself from the inside out.
Avoid creating yourself using material things like fancy clothes and expensive cars. That is not how you manifest using the Hanged Man. The Hanged Man is about having a rich and active mind that makes people fall in love with you for who you are, NOT what you have or what you do for a living. It is not about how much you earning. It is about how much you are learning! The Hanged Man will teach you to invest in yourself to the point where you can easily afford to put other people’s needs in front of your own. It is no longer a sacrifice because you are so whole and complete that helping others fulfills you even further.
