Figure 13: XII The Hanged Man

Since passing through the stage represented by Force and experiencing all the trauma and revelation that mark the beginning of the process of self-discovery, The Hanged Man’s world has been completely turned around: all that he stood for, his opinions, ideas and values are no longer valid. He is now transfixed, trapped and in danger of being wounded on the thorns. Nothing is familiar to him any longer; but, in fact, nothing has actually changed except his point of view! His obvious inertia gives him time to carefully contemplate and reassess his life thus far as a prelude to escaping his present paralysis and acquiring the ability to overturn his predicament. The hands concealed behind his back suggest that he has lost his sense of personal, material possessions because he is about to renounce the rule of gold in favour of the golden rule.

Number XII is about time, space and cosmic order; it is about constant change and transition. If The Hanged Man sacrifices his ego-self, reviews any outmoded behaviour and looks at life from a different viewpoint, his ‘world’ will change too. When the card is turned upside down he becomes a happy dancer who is about to resume his journey into the unknown and bring order out of chaos.
