Advice
Are you a slave to your own fears, beliefs, or a toxic situation? It may be that you do not want to see reality as it is or that you have let yourself be blinded by the illusion. Ask yourself if your beliefs are really yours or if you are being influenced by someone else. Is someone trying to dominate and abuse you? Are you attracted to someone who doesn't suit you? Are you confusing sexual desire with love? What really keeps you from being happy?
Practical Suggestions
If you bring light into darkness, shadows fade. Don't be afraid to take risks and face the unknown. This can lead to enormous personal development.
Message
This card reminds us that, in most cases, it is our inner "devil" that undermines our personality, that puts obstacles in our way and that prevents us from progressing and being happy. It is our own demons that take away our lucidity, distort our self-image, prevent us from reaching the fullness of our potential and building the life we desire.
