The Hanged Man
This card represents a time of suspension and waiting, where direct action is not possible or advisable. It counsels patience and inner alignment with universal forces during periods of uncertainty. The darkness will give way to light again, but for now, one must remain still and centered. This is a period of spiritual waiting and internal coordination with the greater flow of existence.

Visual Description
A robed figure hangs upside down by one foot, the other leg extended straight upward, suspended in the center of the card. The figure's long hair falls toward the ground and their arms are bound behind their back; a flowing green robe and sash ripple around them. Behind the figure an orange band of cloud sits above blue mountains, and the Roman numeral XII is shown on a black border at both the top and bottom of the card.
