Card Drawn on Dec 22nd, 2007:
The Hanged Man - Reversed
Book Definition:
"Man hidden dangers await the good"
A young cock guards and holds the attention of the Arcanum, symbol of moral sacrifice, reflection, waiting and the passing of tests. Stagnation regarding emotions, love, business, and profession. Mission or difficult tasks which must be carried out without means. Long-term debt or credit. Slow bureaucracy. Postponed dates.
Card Description:
Firstly I must note that this is the first time a major arcana has come about. Major arcana usually represent something large happening or something that will be difficult to change and last a long time. A man tied at the chins and ankles dangles from a tree branch. A rooster stands on the branch next to him gazing with mouth open, perhaps shocked, perhaps getting ready to swoop to catch the falling slipper. The mans left slipper has fallen off and the man appears to be reaching out, gasping, to catch the slipper. The tree has 3 gashes in it, looks to be either man-made or maybe from lightning. The tree is strong and old and looks to be high on a hill. Underneath the man is a tuft of grass. How did the man get tangled upside-down? Was it a trap set by another? Is he a clumsy fool? The tree looks strong enough to hold him while he figures out how to get down. The falling slipper seems to draw my attention, and it also seems to hold the attention of both beings in the card.
Events of the day:
The most obvious event of the day was the offer for 2 plots of land, let me fill the back story. I saw a listing on Craig's List for 2 plots of land for $5000!! Now in my area, that's a steal, they could easily retail for $75,000. So I contacted the poster, he claimed to know nothing about the property, that it was foreclosed on and the bank needed to sell it. I was hugely torn on what to do, it seemed a little fishy but if it turned out to be something, the profits could be huge! On a side note, on Monday Dec 24th, I went to the town assessors and tax collector's to find out that it didn't seem to be foreclosed and that $40,000 in back taxes were owed on those plots of land. I definitely am not getting involved in that mess.

Interpretation:
The hanged man means indecision about a big event or change in one's life. More insight and research is needed before a proper decision can be made. In the event that more research is not completed, the hesitation of the querant will lead to an ultimate "No" regarding the issue.
