As a yes or no answer:Not yet
Upright
A pause is part of the plan. Seeing things from a new angle unlocks them.
The Hanged Man hangs calmly upside down, a halo around his head. A pause is part of the plan. Letting go of control, seeing the situation from a completely new angle, or making a small sacrifice now will unlock what is stuck. Do not force it. The waiting has a purpose.
Reversed
Stalling for too long. Waiting has become a habit, not a strategy.
Reversed, The Hanged Man shows stalling for too long. Waiting has become a habit rather than a choice, or you are making sacrifices that bring nothing back. Decide, act, and stop putting your life on hold for someone or something that is not moving.
