Card Description

In the image, a man is tied up with his hands behind his back and hanged upside down on a T-shaped tree trunk. His bound hands form a triangle, and his legs cross to form a cross, together creating a alchemical symbol from Western alchemy. This suggests the completion of a great undertaking and also implies a process of transformation from lower desires to moral elevation. The color changes from top to bottom (red pants, blue shirt, and golden halo) correspond with the three-tiered headpiece of a priest and the three concentric circles in the Wheel of Fate, representing the three levels of body, mind, and spirit. However, the order of these elements emphasizes the significance of changing perspectives. The golden shoes on his feet not only indicate the noble spirit of sacrifice of the hanged man, but also predict the status of spirit (morality), emphasizing that even when changing perspectives, morality remains the most important.
Interpretation of the Card: He is an embodiment of Odin, who, in pursuit of knowledge, underwent trials and sacrificed himself by hanging upside down on a tree. He did not feel pain, but silently reflected in this terrible situation. As long as you endure, your sacrifice will eventually be rewarded.
Upright
You have experienced a long period of waiting before reaching this stage. The end for you is the moment your dream is fulfilled. What you have quietly protected will finally appear. You are full of wisdom and possess strong spirit of sacrifice. You know that to gain something, you must first give. Most importantly, you are not utilitarian; you are willing to make sacrifices for your beliefs, and you have a great and profound soul. In a relationship, to overcome this phase, you need patience and wait for the change of opportunity.
Reversed
You always can't figure it out and can't find the exit, and you are stuck in a vortex of how to better obtain what you want. You are stubborn and only care about yourself, being more self-centered. Your physical condition has some problems, pay attention to external injuries. Sometimes, you don't evaluate whether your efforts are worth it, which leads to meaningless efforts. Especially in relationships, you may play such a role, so it is recommended that you think carefully before doing something for someone else.
