This zodiacal sector is a striking representation of the interplay between the body and the soul. Pisces, on the other hand, is more than just a representation of the enigmatic, intriguing, and feminine.

The Moon Tarot card is associated with the zodiac sign of Pisces, and it represents the emotional energy, intuition, imaginative characteristics, mediumistic talents, and ebb and flow of tidal feelings associated with this sign. However, we must also consider the Hanged Man card, as it delves even further into the symbolism of the Fishes, representing the surrendering, retreat, and time-out that are all obvious in this Neptune-ruled zodiacal sign. As a result of the Moon’s influence, Pisces is represented by the mysterious feminine figure, who is enchanted and infused with magic, as well as by the watery depths of the unconscious and the elusive realm of the nighttime wandering of the soul through many haunted places, summoning the power of heaven.

On a more general level, we reach a moment in Pisces where we have a feeling of completion and are ready to explore themes of spiritual evolution. The sacrifice for the greater good is represented by the Hanged Man card, and it entails an accepting and surrendering process. The dread that all will be lost, will come to nothing, and will break apart is embodied in its symbols. In addition, it can mean everything, which is why hanging on to faith throughout the period of stopped time is linked to the embryo waiting in the womb. It is a phase of gestation, a moment of transformation in which one turns within. A large part of Pisces’ existence is devoted to this kind of sensitive reception of the outside world. The individual is a sponge, soaking in the sensations and vibrations of the surrounding environment.

Beyond all its symbolism the Hanged Man affects us because it shows a direct image of peace and understanding. The calm shows strongly in the card  because the Hanged Man has surrendered to the rhythms of life…For many modern people it involves releasing emotions they have locked up for years…the Hanged Man bears a connection to water. Most Tarot Kabbalists assign the letter Mem to trump 12. Mem stood for ‘seas’ and thus the element of water…The crossed legs represent the number 4 upside down. 4 symbolizes earth with its 4 directions. By reversing his own sense of values the Hanged Man has turned the world on its head. The arms and head together form a downward pointing water triangle. Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot
