Page of Cups and The Hanged Man Tarot Meaning

Page of Cups speaks of tender feelings, romantic messages, emotional curiosity, and the innocent opening of the heart to what has not yet been named; The Hanged Man speaks of willing pause, surrender, suspended perspective, and the enlightenment that arrives only when control is temporarily released.
