The Hanged Man – Let Go! – 12th Tarot Card

The Hanged Man of the Tarot Card DeckThe Hanged Man hangs from a tree which forms a Tau cross, his legs form a fylfot cross, and he has a circle of light about his head. Three points of interest, he has an expression of deep entrancement on his face and does not appear to be suffering, the tree he is hanging from is alive, with leaves, and the figure suggests life in suspension, and not death. In one aspect this cards shows a relation between the Divine and the Universe.

The card signifies sacrifice before moving forward. Perhaps something (mental, spiritual, etc) needs to be let go. Look at a problem from a different view and struggling is most likely not the answer.

Upright: Wisdom, circumspection, discernment, trials, sacrifice, intuition, divination, prophecy.
Reversed: Selfishness, the crowd, body politic.

Serious about learning the Tarot. I recommend The Ultimate Tarot Trainer.
