In astrology
The Hanged Man is one of the three elemental majors: it is water, the element of feeling and intuition. Modern astrologers also give it Neptune.
In the Celtic Cross
Where The Hanged Man falls changes what it says. In the present it names the atmosphere you are in; as the crossing card it shows what lies over the matter; at the foundation it is the root of the situation; in the outcome it is the road ahead if nothing changes. Read the ten positions, or lay a spread and see where it appears.

Where it falls is what it means. Lay a spread and see whether The Hanged Man turns up — and in which position.
