39. Fixed Moon

There are two main possibilities with this card. The first is that you need to stand firm in whatever situation you're in. The second, very different, interpretation is that something is stuck. That could well be referring to the situation you're asking about. If that's the case, have a think about what you can do to grease the wheels so that events move forward. Are you being stubborn? If so, that's great, because if you really want things to change, there's a solution: stop digging your heels in! Be the one to break a deadlock. With two interpretations for this card, it's up to you to decide what's going on and which meaning applies to you. This offers up a chance for some self-reflection.

Yes. Just say the word a lot and see how it feels.

• Staying-power; faith or patience are needed. • Someone needs to back down. • Avoid stagnation. • A personal or professional relationship will be enduring.

In astrology, there are three quadruplicities: Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. The Fixed signs can be stubborn, so anything that's just starting as you draw this card may well last longer. (Remember, we each have all the star signs in our chart — it's just the way the astrological wheel works — so there's no judgement when we say that while it's admirable how much staying-power the Fixed signs have, they can also be obstinate.)
