Number and Card
12 THE HANGED MAN
If you are feeling as though you are standing at crossroads, it may be an opportune time to fully absorb the directions or options you are being presented with. It could be that you will need to let go of something or make some kind of sacrifice, which may initially leave you feeling vulnerable, raw, or exposed. Know that despite this sense of unease, this is a transitional phase in which you can recalibrate your beliefs, situation, or life goals in the long-run.
This key may also come as a result of those life-altering moments or experiences that have the potential to radically transform your worldview. Connect back to the root of your intent and the inner pathways of your heart. Where are you being guided from here?
Reversed
This could be an indication that you have been making countless sacrifices without experiencing a proper payoff. Perhaps you sense a temporary delay with the progress you had hoped for. If you are feeling as though you are in a state of limbo, review your plans and intentions carefully. Are you taking the time to explore what makes you truly happy, or are you being pressured onto an uncomfortable path? Pause and rest within the light of your heart.
