I feel like I am making some progress with the Significator / Choice pairing. When I got to the Hanged Man / The Choice I realized that the Choice archetype is always the same when paired with THE Significator of each complex. In the Hanged Man Card we have a reversed Cruz Ansata, other versions show a cross surmounting a triangle by the limbs of the Hanged Man. So this could mean that the Hanged Man is “redeeming” the Self. It’s like a baptism in water. Hanged Man is associated with Elemental water. He sacrifices in order to redeem the light, which is represented by his illuminated head. The word “redemption” finally made sense to me in relation to this card. The light is redeemed from darkness.
13 is Death, which is Transformation, and 14 is the resurrected Dying God, I.e. the initiate. He has the green skin of Osiris.
This card along with 13 and 14 show us spiritual initiation, the formula of the Dying God. I am very fascinated by these particular cards. One dies a symbolic death to be reborn again in a higher spiritual capacity. The Great Way of the Body is the Alchemist / Temperance who is treading the path of the Royal Road (in the R.W. tarot).
Significators are both actors and acted upons. When paired with the Choice, the Significator May choose polarizing action upon either path. This is indicated, I believe, by the dual Sun in XXII. A black sun and an illumined sun.
