The Hanged Man
WaterNeptune
surrender, new perspective, pause, sacrifice
Suspended upside-down from a living tree, the Hanged Man wears an expression of serene calm. He has chosen surrender — and in doing so, has gained a view the world cannot offer.
↑ Upright
Pause and release the need to control. Surrender opens a new perspective that forward momentum cannot give you.
↓ Reversed
You are stalling unnecessarily or avoiding a sacrifice that must be made. Release, and liberation will follow.
