The Lesson of the Tarot Hanged Man is Sacrifice
The Fool appreciates the need to seek other perspectives and abandons the things of the world. He lets go and seeks spiritual enlightenment concerning personal sacrifices and materialism.
Personality (Strengths & Weaknesses)
Phlegmatic Type 1 is associated with the Blue HSV Personality (Water)
Phlegmatic Type 2 is associated with the Green HSV Personality (Water)
Note: Of the seven personalities, those with a phlegmatic constitution are inclined to be highly sensitive, so if your aura is primarily blue or green, you will be way more sensitive than most Highly Sensitive People and, maybe, psychic.
The Tarot Hanged Man Traditional Meanings
There are times when everyone questions the sacrifices they have made, and this is one of those times. You may feel as if you are being tested. As dedicated as you are to your cause, your mind is in limbo, and your perspective is lost. You are at a standstill of sorts.
While you may never have been the martyring type before, it may be paining you that you are now feeling mistaken in your loyalties. Part of you would like to continue to sacrifice for the greater good, but at what cost to your health or your very soul?
It's time to reevaluate life, relationships, goals, and the choices you make about them. Indeed, it is a time to question many issues, especially those related to feeling a particular duty toward others, as you may no longer be convinced of the importance of your sacrifices.
If you find yourself loath to squander your energy on goals that are no longer worth your while, you must reset your priorities promptly and redirect your efforts elsewhere.
The Tarot Hanged Man Biblical Meanings
The Tarot Hanged Man is about surrendering the pursuit of material wants and gain and redirecting your footsteps toward God. When you suspend yourself from the way you think things should be or want them to be, you'll be able to see how you've been making useless sacrifices. These sacrifices are not necessarily huge ones, like Jesus dying on the cross. They can be other things, such as spending time and money to maintain the status quo. Pausing to meditate on your relationship with God can help you gain perspective and clarify your priorities. In other words, it's time to crucify the ego.

The Tarot Hanged Man in Health Readings
Feeling stuck or in limbo causes stress, leading to low energy and brain fog.
There may be an immune system problem or a need for psychic or spiritual healing. Thoughts of death or suicide may be an issue. While this card may suggest a period of gaining a new perspective, fence-sitting may not be helpful at this time. Sitting around in limbo (procrastinating) will only keep things the same or make them worse. It might be time to take inventory of hidden stress, journal, or set a SMART goal.
Nettle, stretching, and dry brushing can be beneficial.

Phlegmatics do well on both vegetarian and traditional diets. Milk, dairy products (including cheeses), wheat (and other foods containing gluten), refined sugar, starches, and flours, very cold and icy foods and drinks, and moist, creamy, rich foods will bother the Phlegmatic temperament.
