Card 12

The Hanged Man

Brief Description

The Hanged Man warns of complacency and being confined by life's trappings, where poor or unquestioned decisions can lead to an avoidable demise. Upright, it highlights compromise that makes little sense and cautions that giving in can leave you bound by your own choices, urging you to break free while you can. Reversed, it describes a precarious situation where the walls of life's cage feel closing and escape seems impossible. Even in reversal, there remains a way out if you seek it and act to find that path.
