The Hanged Man and Death in love
A relationship that has been in limbo may finally end or change form completely. Acceptance comes before the change. If you have been waiting for a sign, the waiting itself may have shown you the answer. Let go slowly, allow grief its time, and resist reopening the question once you have settled it.
How they feel: The Hanged Man and Death as feelings
They have stopped resisting a change in how they feel. This person may have been unsure for a long time and has now accepted something, perhaps that the relationship is over, perhaps that it needs to become something different. Their feelings are deep and private. Once they reach this point, they rarely go back.
The Hanged Man and Death in career and money
A stalled role or project comes to its natural conclusion. Accepting that it is over frees you for something new. You may give up a position or an ambition that no longer fits who you are. Rest before choosing the next direction, instead of filling the gap with the first thing available.
Is The Hanged Man with Death a yes or no?

What to do when The Hanged Man and Death turn up
Stop holding on to what the long pause already answered. Let the old form end, and give yourself a few weeks before choosing what grows in its place.
If The Hanged Man or Death is reversed
The Hanged Man won't accept the pause and Death won't accept the ending. Put the two together and you get being stuck in a limbo you refuse to leave, waiting for a change that you could make yourself. Ask what you fear would happen if you let go. Usually the fear is larger than the reality.
