The Hanged Man is suspended in this card as he is in life. He is at a crossroads, having to decide if its best to go left or go right. He must surrender to the will of the universe, realizing that he only has so much control. He is restricted by certain energies and must let go in order to move forward.  Should this card appear reversed in a reading, then it is likely that the querent is refusing to accept the reality of the situation they are in. They are arrogant in their beliefs and are wasting their time if they wish to move forward.
