This card represents ultimate sacrifice. The Hanged Man hangs upside-down from his left foot, with his right forming a cross against his body. This can be representative of Jesus on the cross, sacrificing his life so others can be saved. He is not suffering. His facial expression displays a meditative state, which is also demonstrated with the halo of light around his head. The Hanged Man knows that sacrifice is what is most needed in the world and he is comfortable with this decision. It can be a card of great work, of duty, and of prudence. He sits between life and death, but is encompassed by neither.
