Well, it might look Hanged Man-ish, but it's called Balance and probably corresponds to Justice.
It might really be easier to use it independent of Tarot, though...

Tarot Deck - 78 Cards – 2005/06
*******************************************************************
I get the chance to review this deck in a same time with Osho Zen Tarot and momentarily noticed numerous similarities; Deck and book set is based on original ideas/philosophy and similar design; professional abstract style art paint framed with thin white line on black borders. Connected with a diamond with a number of card (Romans for Majors and Arabian for pips 2-10) or blank (aces and court cards). On the cad bottom is name of the card representing Trensurfing ideas and concepts, all minors have name of the suit and word representing their meaning
Companion book gives short intro to Transurfing ideas. And note this is not standard Tarot /Oracle deck and is not meant to be used for *divination but for *mastering Transurfing principles and that way ability to choose your reality / create your destiny.
It say you can use this cards whatever you want and explain when you do that you will get advice what you should do now to get best results. And advise to learn one card each day /read text and look at the card and think about it and try to stick to it whole day (I would say better make it 2cards a day!^^ you will learn it faster and understand better!^^lolz)))
All cards are renamed and presented in pairs starting with Majors, with accompanying text

More info and quote
http://www.mediana-agency.com/Catalogue/Details/2009015
http://zelands.ru/r_book6.htm
world-bestseller Reality Transurfing series by Vadim Zeland is top-sellers non-fiction for many years and by now has sold over 2,000,000 copies only in Russia. The books have been translated into over 20 languages and are very popular in many countries.
"Zeeland present a set of ideas and *techniques which he calls "Transurfing of Realities" that can be used for attainment of practical goals. These techniques are of mental and metaphysical nature, which he supports by presenting a model of the universe that combines the elements of quantum physics with the idea of parallel worlds. (Compare with The Field by Lynne McTaggart: The Secret (book).
The basic thrust of Zeeland's methods is similar to other approaches that rely on positive thinking such as The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and The Law of Attraction. However, Zeeland adds some finesse to the basic concept of positive thinking. For example, he presents arguments that strong desires often make the attainment of the goal more difficult. His remedy is to combine goal orientation with emotional detachment. (Here one can detect an influence of Zen and Buddhism.)
Some of Zeeland's techniques are very simple and practical, e.g. his methods of combining rational thinking with intuition for making practical decisions. Other "tools" require a high degree of control over one's thoughts and/or emotions.
Zeeland also advocates reducing the amount of mental self-talk in favour of listening to one's intuition, which has some similarity with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle."
Transurfing Theory provides a scientific explanation of the laws that help you choose your reality,
The author introduces a system of specific terms, notions, and metaphors, which together make a truly convincing, thought-provoking theory of creating your own life. "You are ruled by circumstances and it will always be like that until you learn how to manage your reality", says the author. Bringing together the cutting edge of modern science and philosophical teaching, the book's style is popular-scientific, metaphorical and conversational. Books in the series include: "Reality Transurfing 1: The Space of Variations"; "Reality Transurfing 2; A Rustle of Morning Stars"; "Reality Transurfing 3; Forward to the Past"; "Reality Transurfing 4: Ruling Reality"; "Reality Transurfing 5: Apples Fall to the Sky".
"Vadim Zeland writes about himself: To the question of the intrigued readers 'Who are you, Vadim Zeland?' I usually respond: 'No one'. My biography is irrelevant, because I am not the creator of Transurfing, but a ‘chaneller’. You really have to be no one - just an empty vessel, in order to transfer this ancient Knowledge undistorted by your personal attitudes. This knowledge opens the doors to the world where the impossible becomes possible. Reality is no longer something that exists independently outside of you. If you follow particular rules you can change your reality. The secret hidden by what lies on the surface is so tremendous, that the messenger’s personality becomes unimportant. Much more interesting are the keepers who have passed me this Knowledge on to me; but they also prefer to remain in the shadow."
I just send my review for this deck to Solandia!^^ hopefully she will add this deck to this database!^^ and decide to post it here as well!^^ so here it go!^^ hope you like it!^^

Thank you reall, I very much appreciate your work and effort and your posting / description of this deck. It is very helpful! With your permission I am going to print it out and keep it with my deck.
reall
ok!^^ np!^^ happy you like it!^^ when I get some free time I was planing to translate text for one card for example how book intepret it, cuz I'm not sure there is english edition of this deck and book set? but not sure would it be ok with copyrights to post it here?)
)gregory
As I want it, I will go out on a limb and say that I own the incomprehensible book, and think it would be OK for you to translate it for me, so... I THINK anyone who gets the deck gets the book, so surely it would only be giving us a translation of what we all have ? It MIGHT also encourage others to buy a copy, so they should be pleasedok!^^ np!^^ happy you like it!^^ when I get some free time I was planing to translate text for one card for example how book intepret it, cuz I'm not sure there is english edition of this deck and book set? but not sure would it be ok with copyrights to post it here?
rylla
Mine is a Chinese or Japanese edition (who knows which one? - it's just a rhetorical question) and it came with a book. So this edition comes with a book too (just to outline what's Gregory is saying in her post). It would be awesome to get a more in deep understanding of these cards!
"It MIGHT also encourage others to buy a copy, so they should be pleased " -I completely agree! You'd be doing a favor not only to AT members but to the deck too.

I find this interesting, but
I just wish TAROT would stop being tacked onto all kinds of decks. Just because a deck has 78 cards and has suits of some kind doesn't make it tarot to me.
I would have been MORE interested if it had just said it WAS unique.
I think often designers/authors use the word tarot because it comes up more in searches or they just know that there are many readers and using the word tarot will make them look at it.
But for those just starting in tarot, if THIS was this first introduction, I think it would be more than a little confusing.
With that said, I think it sounds interesting, I just wouldn't see it as tarot and wished they hadn't called it that. It detracts, rather than adds, for me.
