Major Arcana
The Hanged Man
Overview
A deliberate pause, an inverted angle of view. Sometimes forward movement is blocked because the right step is to see the situation differently, not act faster. Sacrificing the lesser for the greater.
Reversed
Stuck without benefit — a pause that became a trap. You wait for the situation to change itself, but it doesn't. Or you sacrifice without understanding why — from inertia, habit, fear of the alternative.
