The Hanged Man is one of the most passive cards of Tarot. It indicates a period of time when everything stands still. The Hanged Man is also associated with sacrifice and martyrdom. On the contrary, the Page of Swords is a highly energetic card. Talkative, inquisitive, straightforward, the Page of Swords is related to communications, ideas, speech. The combination of the Hanged Man and the Page of Swords foretells action after a pause.

• Communication after a pause
• A sudden realization after a period of confusion
• A conflict that we've been avoiding for a long time
• An unexpected revelation
• Disturbing words/communication
• An upsetting message
• The end of a limbo state
• Figuring out the truth after a period of uncertainty
• A sudden awakening
• The end of illusion
• A shift from passive to active 
• Brooding on revenge
• Unresolved psychological Issues
• Distorted words/ideas
• Sacrificing oneself for an idea/belief

The elements of the cards are Water (Hanged Man) and Air (Page of Swords), a neutral combination that could either support or weaken the meanings of the cards. However, given the strongest energy of the major arcana card (Hanged Man), one would expect that the dynamic of the Page of Swords would be weakened, delayed or restricted in some way.
