Meaning
With what eyes do you look at what happens Inside and Outside of you? It's time to See; it's no longer enough to look. When Truth calls and asks to be seen, it creates a radical, definitive, and irreversible change.
In the Thoth tradition
The Hanged Man hangs reversed from the living tree, his stillness a willing sacrifice of the upright self. He embodies the watery principle of surrender, the inversion that floods the world with new sight when ordinary perspective is suspended and the seer becomes the seen. Water.
In short
A forced pause and a shift of perspective. Stop forcing and let go of control: seeing things from another angle is worth more than any effort. A small sacrifice now opens a new understanding.
Reversed
You are stuck and resisting letting go: waiting without moving or clinging to control. A pointless sacrifice keeps you still: change perspective or change direction.
