12 - XII The Hanged Man

The Principle of Surrender, Breaking old Patterns

For persons who are currently over the age of 50, and for the new-borns, this symbol is your personality symbol; a symbol of your outer expression. If this is your symbol, you will always be committed to looking at situations and persons from many different postures and perspectives. You will find it difficult to limit or restrict yourself in any way. You are a natural pattern-breaker. You will constantly assist others to look at life and their problems from different perspectives. Comedians are natural pattern-breakers. Through humor, as a comedian does, you may assist others to take a different view or perspective of their current fixations or stuck places. Or, like a psychologist, you may reframe a problem in such a way that the person can see the problem differently. Your greatest inherent gift will be that of constantly freeing yourself from self-imposed limitations and, as a result, you will have the ability to assist others in this process as well.
