18 | The Moon

Overview

The Moon card in tarot represents intuition, past lessons and mystery.

Depicted by a moonlit landscape with a path leading into the unknown, this card symbolizes the power of the unconscious mind – your thoughts underneath the day-to-day.

It invites you to consider your fears, desires, and dreams, trusting your intuition to guide you on what is real and what is not.

The Moon encourages you to embrace uncertainty and embrace the journey of self-discovery, knowing that beneath the surface lies hidden truths and profound wisdom waiting to be unearthed.

Symbolism

The moon represents intuition and the subconscious mind, while the dog and wolf represent the domesticated and wild aspects of the psyche.  The crayfish emerging from water symbolizes hidden truths coming to light, and the towers symbolize illusion and deception. The moonlit path represents the journey of self-discovery and the search for truth.

How to read The Moon reflectively

Ask yourself questions like:

• How would I embody the energy of The Moon?

• Am I holding myself back from fear of a past situation repeating itself? What has changed since then?

• Am I letting go of a dream or goal too easily? Why?

• Who or what could The Moon reflect, and what do I like/dislike about that?
