Notes:
This card can represent many things, but most often it suggests that you need to take a step back and reassess your current situation. You may be feeling stuck or like you’re at a crossroads. This is a time to be introspective and to consider all your options very carefully. It’s also a time to be patient. Depicting a figure suspended by one leg, the card represents surrender, sacrifice, and a shift in perspective. Let go and accept your situation to gain enlightenment.
