Card 12. The Hanged Man: Seeing things from a unique point of view. Enduring difficulties for a worthy cause. A period of deep self examination. Passivity, acceptance of reality even if it is the inverse of what is expected.
Inverse: Isolation. Emotional stance of a victim. Inability to act. Denying one’s own unique qualities, striving to be “normal” at all costs. Living in one’s private and imaginary reality.
Message: look at things from the opposite perspective.
