The Hanged Man Tarot Card Meaning
Major Arcana, number XII
surrender, pause, new perspective, letting go
The card
A man hangs upside down by one foot from a T-shaped cross of living wood, his other leg bent behind the first to form a figure four and his hands tucked behind his back. His face is calm and a halo glows around his head. The card asks whether a pause, or looking at things from a completely different angle, might show you what pushing ahead cannot.
Upright meaning
Surrender, a new perspective, a pause.
Reversed meaning
Stalling, needless sacrifice.
