It expresses situations that are not mastered by the consultant and against which they can not act. It conveys that it is useless to try to influence people or events. It evokes letting go and renunciation. It expresses a feeling of loneliness in front of the impossibility of acting, which can go as far as pain and panic. It tells us that it is useless to fight. The wisdom is to take advantage of this pause imposed by the events to meditate on a situation and on the choices. She says that the time to act has not come yet. With this card, a phase of waiting, of immobility, of delay is running. She encourages us to accept destiny as it stands and to show devotion without waiting for anything in return. This card represents detachment and sacrifice. This hangman expresses an obligatory passage which presages a future improvement.
