The Hanged Man

Number: 12

Astrology: Neptune

Element: Water

Kabbalistic Path: From Severity to Majesty

---

Upright: Injury, transitional period, thinking differently, calm contemplation, willing sacrifice, “you must give to gain,” changes through new perspectives, retreating to advance.

Reversed: Resistance to change, impatience, indecision, stagnation, selfishness, delays, unwilling sacrifice, efforts without return.

Card Description: A Cloud Sage dressed in blue hangs upside down from a T-shaped tree. His head glows with golden light, his hands folded behind his back forming a triangle. With his eyes gently closed, he seems deep in thought. Two nearby clouds look at him in confusion, but he remains unfazed by others’ opinions, perfectly still. Viewing the world from an inverted perspective, he gains unique insights. His sacrifice is given freely, knowing it leads to higher awakening and inner transformation.
