The Hanged Man
Upright
suspension · sacrifice · new perspective · waiting · surrender
The Hanged Man has chosen to pause — suspended by his own foot, he sees the world from an entirely new angle. What seems like a sacrifice opens a profound shift in perspective. Surrender to the pause; what cannot be forced can sometimes only be received.
Reversed
stalling · resistance · martyrdom · needless sacrifice
Stalling masquerades as patience. You may be delaying a necessary decision or sacrificing yourself unnecessarily for a cause that does not require it. The pause has run its course — it is time to act or let go of the martyrdom.
