The Moon

Key Words: secrets, illusions, deception, imagination, mystery, subconscious, confusion, falsehoods, cycles, bewilderment, anxiety, insecurity, dreams, nightmares, visions, psychic ability

Meaning:

The Moon can seem romantic, mysterious, inspiring, creepy, scary, or even terrifying. It heightens the gifts of intuition and creativity. It calls forth fears. It creates delusions. Because the moon appears to change in the sky each night, waxing and waning through its cycles, this card indicates a changeable situation. What might be true today may not be true tomorrow. The moon reflects light, but it is shadowy and conceals as much as it reveals. Things that seem lovely in the moonlight may be monsters by the light of day, and vice versa. If you are feeling uncertain and befuddled, don’t blame yourself. Things really are obscured.

Advice:

Because you know that under the light of the Moon things are not necessarily as they seem, put off making important decisions. Chances are you probably don’t have all the facts and maybe some of the ones you do have aren’t actual facts. On another level, this card represents facing fears. In fact, often with the Moon card, our biggest fears come into play, symbolized by the lobster. Don’t let your fears distract you or force you into decisions you may regret later. The moon changes each night and therefore this time of confusion will change as well. The best you can do is have faith and wait.
