In this situation, where hidden passions and denial of one's desires mix in the tarot game, the Devil in the upright position and the Hanged Man also in the upright position can indicate a complex internal struggle. The person feels tempted but tries to resist the temptation. They might sense that their desires could lead to trouble, so they consciously choose the path of self-denial.

Combination of reversed card The Hanged Man and card The Devil

When the Devil upright meets the Hanged Man reversed, it means losing control over one's passions. A strong desire to break free and indulge in one's desires arises, but at the same time, the person tries to avoid responsibility for their actions. They may be trying to hide their true intentions or desires.

This could be an act of desperation or a search for new paths and opportunities.
