XII. The Hanged Man

A masked figure in a neon-lit city hangs sideways over the edge of a building, head tilted, arms relaxed — the world below turned upside down in a dizzying surrender to altered perspective.

⬆️ Upright

The Hanged Man chooses the pause. This is not defeat but perspective. Step outside your usual rhythm. See with different eyes. What feels like delay may be the beginning of understanding.

⬇️ Reversed

Sacrifice without clarity becomes a trap. You may be resisting change or calling stillness wisdom when it’s really fear. What are you clinging to that no longer helps you see?

I'm hung up on you

🌠 REFLECTION

The Hanged Man pauses not out of weakness but vision, trusting in the view from upside down. This is the chrysalis, not the grave, but stay too long, and even becoming turns to decay.
