The Hanged Man: Arcanum August 2020
“The important thing is this: to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.” ~Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
The Hanged Man: The Beginning of a New Reality
August 2020 promises to be a month of change in the way we see and approach things. August will continue with themes of the realignment of our personal and world vision, as our reality crumbles, our soul soar in search of a better view of life. Astrologically speaking, the stellium in Capricorn continues to put in check and questioning our political and societal structures, including our Government, and its power. The Pandemic slowed all of us brought us to the point of severe reassessment and revision of our old reality.
Let’s go to the wise teaching of the Arcane for August.
This is one of the most feared cards of the Tarot, but its real meaning may be a little different from what you might imagine . 
The keyword of this arcane is Sacrifice (sacer / facere, make sacred). It is a recurring archetypal theme in many religions. It is also linked to the rites of passage, transformation, and change of perspective. Proof of this is that the next arcane, or the next phase in transformation is represented by the card of Death (dying to be reborn).
The energy of the Hanged man is the trap that suddenly arrives in our lives. It Indicates a restriction of your power, and it is not unheard of your life going upside down with this influence. It may be the passage through a great conflict, because suffering invites a realignment with oneself, for a shift in your perspective so that the existence, the BE gains a new meaning.
It is necessary to sacrifice old habits and bring out the essence of life that is within each human being”. Brahma Kumaris.
Do you need to be aware of how you have been facing life: with victimization or with learning and reviewing values?
If you believe that the world has turned upside down, start to see the world with another look, turn it upside down too. Try to see the situation in a different light. By changing your worldview and values, the transformation takes place without copious doses of Sacrifice.
There is something to be resolved, but one must go calmly and wisely. Observe the world around you, there is often a need to stop and then be able to move in a new direction.
Time to Create a an Original reality
The Arcane of the Hanged Man comes to show us that it is the moment of spiritual growth, of surrendering to the flow of life. It is a moment of dissolution of the EGO, and of the structures created by it, to protect itself.
Every now and then, we fall into its traps, and the Hanged Man appears again.
When history repeats itself, there is a lesson that has not been learned. We need to be aware of that!
See the position of the arcane: he is upside down, showing the diving position. Here it is necessary to dive into yourself, to search your patterns of thoughts and attitudes already outdated.
Another way of looking at the Hanged Man’s position is to compare it with the images we see of traitors in the Middle Ages – they were hung upside down. However, complicated your moment may be, don’t betray yourself by hurting your principles.
Try not to be fooled by something impossible to achieve. Some proof is needed so that we can learn the lessons that life is bringing us.
This arcane may give the distinct feeling of helplessness, of having unconsciously fallen into some situation.
Unconsciously yes, maybe. But not unfairly… because if we are going through this stage, it is because we need to mature and learn that the way of seeing life is different.
A feeling of darkening of the light or an identity crisis may arise. The feeling of falling into stagnation, as vision is often limited, and this creates unintelligent thoughts around you.
Remember your true gifts and talents that will make you grow as a person and get out of this hanged energy. This arcanum is very enriching, just understand, carry out the task, and do not revolt.
This is a moment of reckoning. Proceed with caution, the beginning is near.
