12 The Hanged Man

UPRIGHT - This is the sacred pause, when forward motion halts so understanding can catch up. The Hanged Man invites you to release expectations and allow a shift in perception. You don’t need to act right now; you need to see. Sacrifice isn’t loss here; it’s an exchange for insight. When you stop resisting the moment, wisdom arrives quietly.

REVERSED - Impatience meets stagnation. The Hanged Man reversed often shows up when insight is available, but you’re avoiding it because it demands change. You may be delaying the inevitable or resisting a shift in mindset that would set you free. This isn’t punishment, it’s a stalled breakthrough. The moment you stop fighting the lesson, momentum returns.
