The Moon
The Moon depicts a liminal, dream-haunted scene: a clock-like full moon, howling wolves, a red crustacean, an iron gate, and twin towers that mark a threshold between waking and sleep. It advises attending to subtle, nocturnal signals and trusting intuition where daylight logic falters. Surrendering to images and feelings can reveal buried fears, unusual creativity, or prophetic dream-threads, while panic may indicate illusion, deception, and anxiety intensified by uncertainty. Facing the beasts and crossing the gate can transform night-mystery into clarity and deep knowing.

Visual description
A huge full moon dominates the sky, its surface marked like a clock face with Roman numerals and visible clock hands. Two stone wolves or dogs stand on raised plinths in the foreground, howling toward the moon while a small red crustacean-like figure crawls between them near a wrought-iron gate. Behind the gate rise two tall stone towers topped with flickering orange flames, and in front are weathered gravestones spread across a mossy ground. The scene is framed by an ornate gold border and a plaque at the bottom reads 'WALPURGISNACHT THE MOON crooked way tarot.'
Meaning
Under a moon that looks like a clock, the world feels suspended between tides of sleep and waking. Silver light pools across cracked stone, the wolves’ howls vibrating the air while a small red crustacean creeps from the dark, a reminder of something ancient emerging from hidden waters. The iron gate and twin towers hold a threshold: step forward and the path is dream-haunted, step back and shadows close like curtains. The imagery asks you to listen to subtle signals — a tick like a pulse on the face of the moon, the smell of damp earth, the hush of graves — and to trust intuition when daylight logic falters. When you surrender to the subterranean language of images and feelings you may uncover buried fears, strange creativity, or prophetic dream-threads. If the scene tightens into panic it warns of illusion, deception and anxiety magnified by uncertainty, but if you face the beasts and cross the gate that same night-mystery can dissolve into clarity and deep knowing. Either way the card murmurs that not all guidance arrives lit by reason; some truths arrive soft, uncanny, and insistently nocturnal.
