The Hanged Man Description
A young man hangs upside down but still looks peaceful and relaxed, even with a snake wrapped around his right leg, signifying his calm tolerance.
He can break free easily, with the knife he cleverly balances on top of his left foot, but he prefers to wait and be patient.
The tiny sparks of light around his head are symbols of mindfulness when gaining insight from a new perspective.
The eye symbol on his chest represents intuition, and even with his eyes closed, the eye of consciousness on his forehead remains lit and open, symbolizing his sensitivity.
The ring above his head is a symbol of a pure soul in self-sacrifice.
Behind him are two triangles that form an hourglass shape, denoting that all it takes is time to turn things around.
