Great Celestial Conjunction Crosses - Souls of Distortion

Card XII, The Hanged Man, Raider Waite deck
The first association with the number 12 that comes to mind, given the fact that
the Major Arcana contains astrological information, is of course the number of
signs of the zodiac. I believe that in card XII the Sacred Tree is depicted, the
crossing of the ecliptic and Milky Way. The hanged man hanging upside down
from the tree has a halo around his head implying we’re dealing with a saint. The
light radiated by the man’s head resembles the rays of the Sun and the man’s
head may therefore also represent the Sun. This Sun is placed on the Sacred Tree
in other words it’s the Sun on the ecliptic-Milky Way crossing. The odd posture of
the right leg suggests a cross as well, because both his legs are at right angles in
this odd posture. The symbology of the card seems to speak of the Sun on the
Sacred Tree or the Galactic Cross.
A very interesting version of this Tarot card appears in the Thoth Tarot deck
designed by Aleister Crowley. Crowley is giving away much more esoteric clues
about the meaning of the Hanged Man in the Tarot.
