A MAN BEING UNMASKED AT A MASQUERADE

This shows being able to see through others; to be able to “Unmask” people, to reveal one’s self or hide away when it’s needed. It seems that someone is having their mask stripped away; they’re no longer able to “Masquerade”, they are revealing themselves, who they are and possibly their intentions. Secret motives may have a purpose at the time they are concealed, but they almost invariably become known. You may find that you, or someone else, finds themselves in this situation. Difficulties and embarrassment that can arise, but staying true is the important thing. There may be a need to look after your reputation.
Secret motives exposed. Having to face one’s self. Judgment about true worth. Gaining true insight into someone. Wearing a mask that suits situations. The joy of surprise.

Detrimentally revealing yourself too quickly. Finding answers that aren’t welcome. Revealing a fraud. Charades, pretense and ploys to manipulate. Lies and liars.
