XII. - The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man hangs upside down, suspended by his right foot. His body, along with the beam, forms a T-shape, symbolizing the tau cross or sacrifice. His left leg crosses the other, forming the shape of a four, which represents earthly existence. His hands create a triangle, indicating the divine dimension. The message of this inverted position is that the world has turned upside down, and we need to look at things from a radically new perspective. A halo shines around his head, symbolizing inner enlightenment. His face is calm, reflecting serene surrender in this difficult situation.
