Upright

This card represents illusion, fear, and the unknown. It suggests that you are feeling uncertain or afraid, and advises you to trust your intuition and to face your fears. Do not project any sort of insecurities regarding your current situation, take a step back and take into account the fact that your subconscious has greater hold on you than it usually does. It is a great time to face your shadow side.

Reversed

When reversed, this card can indicate a release from fear or a breaking free from illusions. It suggests that you may be finding the courage to face your fears and to see things as they really are. An alternative meaning is that you are running from yourself, trying to escape any sort of emotion that could be triggered when looking within. Remember that time does not heal anything, actively sitting with your feelings and accepting them does.
