The Hanged Man Tarot Card – 12 – I trust that things will work out
Contents
The Hanged Man Tarot Card DESCRIPTION: illustration, colors, and symbolism.
- The Hanged Man shows a man suspended upside down by his foot. He hangs from a T-shaped cross made of a living wood tree. This is no ordinary sapling, though. The world tree is said to carry the weight of the heavens while also being rooted in the Underworld below. He is hanging upside-down, viewing the world from a completely different perspective. His facial expression is calm and serene, suggesting that he is in this hanging position by his own choice. With one leg crossed behind the other, he doesn’t appear to be afraid or upset. He is holding his hands behind his back in a way that forms an inverted triangle. The man is wearing red pants representing human passion physical strength and willpower, and a blue vest for calm emotions and knowledge. The glowing halo around his head symbolizes new insight, awareness, and enlightenment. His relaxed expression gives the impression that he has accepted his fate. The same is true of his shirt, which is dyed the color of the serene ocean. The Hanged Man can change his situation, but for one reason or another, has decided to sit this one out. The Hanged Man is the card of ultimate surrender, of being suspended in time, and of martyrdom and sacrifice to the greater good.
