The Hanged Woman

Number: Twelve/XII

Ruled by Neptune and the Element of Water.

Meaning:

A temporary pause in life. Accept the changes that are occurring. Cultivate patience. Perhaps you have to sacrifice to gain. Sometimes the Hanged Man can mean illness. Or as if you're walking a tightrope because events around you will make you feel very uncertain.

Reversed Meaning:

Selfishness is holding you back. Manipulation. Emotional blackmail.

In most tarot decks, this card is normally known as 'The Hanged Man' rather than 'The Hanged Woman'.
