The Clown Crossroads

The Clown is an archetype of the trickster, acting outside societal morals, and is often kept at a distance due to his unpredictable nature. Is he inherently good or fundamentally evil? Can we ever truly know someone, or is makeup a mask to another aspect of our identity? Ominous clowns converse with our own masks. The hedge symbolizes a barrier that has been overcome, stepping out into the darkness, into unfamiliar territory. Nine is a number denoting the fulfillment of desires. Do the outcomes match your expectations? Is this what you sought?

MEANING

You discover a power within yourself that you were previously unaware of being at your disposal. You are close to attaining what you desire. This represents breaking down barriers and stepping out of the comfort zone. Inner expansion gives birth to new ideas, goals, and opportunities.

SHADOW

What actions are you hiding? What are you keeping from yourself? How do you fill the void within: binge quietly? Engage in perversions? Eavesdrop? Seek something indecent on the internet? Do you wish to seek revenge on someone? Vicious pleasures may change your life for the worse. Stay vigilant.
