In shadow, this card speaks to the ugly side of being seen or not seen. Amarred reputation or a lack of recognition for accomplishments may be blocking thesuccess that is deserved. If you are shying away from public attention and hiding yourgifts from the world, you may be energetically blocking a positive outcome in yoursituation! Seek to share more, but not to the point of needing (or craving!) externalvalidation. Use your own inner compass to define success, as the need for validationcan be a self-esteem killer. It may be time to consciously boost your self-confidenceand look for ways to feel proud of your own progress, and to be conscious about howhighly you place the opinions of others. Remember that no one else in the world hasyour magic and the most important person to impress is yourself.
