Tarot Card Symbolism

The Hanged Man Tarot Card Number 12 of the Major Arcana

The gallows from which he hangs are actually a Tau cross, while the figure – from the position of the legs – forms a fylfot (or four foot) cross. There is a aura about his head and his face expresses deep entrancement, not suffering. As a whole, he suggests life in suspension, but life and not death. The Hanged Man is a card of profound, if veiled, significance and it expresses the relationship between the divine and the universe. Understanding one's higher nature is also part of the symbolism.

The Hanged Man card symbolizes wisdom, circumspection, discernment, trials, sacrifice, intuition, divination, and prophecy.
