The Hanged Man is card XII of the Major Arcana. Upright, the classic reading goes: A willing pause: surrender, new angles and wisdom bought with waiting.
Reversed, the emphasis shifts: Stalling dressed as patience: the lesson is learned — come down. Reversals are not “bad omens” — traditionally they point to the same energy turned inward, delayed or overdone.
