The Hanged Man - Pisces 🧿
The 12th card of the Major Arcana represents the 12th sign of the zodiac, Pisces, in the Tarot. It is an homage to the Norse Allfather, Odin, who hung from the Tree of Life for nine days in order to be able to truly “see.” This sacrifice was in exchange for being able to read the runes – an enigmatic set of symbols that work as powerful tools for foresight and being able to see into the future.
This gift was not granted without the waiting. The painful in between. Both The Hanged Man and Pisces are symbolic of a period of incubation before a portal. Astrologically, the season of Pisces wraps up the year, and in the Tarot, the card that follows it in the Major Arcana is Death – the ultimate portal.
I always see this card as the divine pressing pause, when I pull it for someone it indicates a period of standing still and non-movement. It is a time where we are being prepared, a waiting room before we transition into a new phase in our lives. A period that forces us to look upside down, to see things from a different perspective as our current approach might have us hitting brick walls.
I won’t pretend it’s not a frustrating card or energy. It is. As humans we want things done, and we want them done yesterday. The Hanged Man and Pisces know the feeling of sacrifice that comes with transitions. The time it takes to acquire a new perspective. The Hanged Man process is a vital part of the journey of rebirth and can’t be skipped (as much as I wish it could be!).
Like everything else. It is a transition - the waiting won’t last forever. Aries season is coming, Spring is coming. Pisces prepares and paves the way.
