4. Gibbous Moon

You're very close to achieving your goal

The word gibbous means 'bulging'. What a descriptive word, right? And pulling this card at any time of the month suggests that the situation you're asking about is bulging with possibility and coming to a peak. But this isn't an 'ending' card with a neat 'yes' or 'no' answer. Rather, you're being reminded that some adjustments may yet be required before you get what you want, though you're certainly on the right track, which is hopefully reassuring for you. However, there is also a sense that the situation is a bit tense, so don't push too hard — one false move and the whole thing could blow! That's not meant to scare you; it's just to let you know there's a fuse attached to this situation, so be careful if you choose to light it.

I know that I'm on the right track.

• Now is a good time to review your plans. • Keep the momentum going as you move towards your dreams. • Stay focused. • It's a good time to start a new project. • You need to get back into good health habits.

The Gibbous Moon comes at the very end of the lunar cycle, just before the Full Moon. She looks like she's bulging because she's almost a Full Moon, so she's nearly fully rounded. It's the culmination of the Waxing cycle and, as such, tends to be a rather intense period of the month. No matter when you pull this card, it suggests a very ripe time and a very ripe situation.
