18 THE MOON

Exploration of Subconscious

As one of the dreamiest cards of the Tarot, The Moon invites us to explore the depths of our subconscious and the sacred landscape of our imagination. Although typically described as a bearer of mysteries and disillusionment, it is not without its silver linings. This key can indicate the powerful sparks of inspiration that feed invention, creativity, and intuitive wisdom which connect us to a much deeper place of spirit.

Shadow Thoughts and Feelings

Since The Moon also reveals the watery undercurrent of our shadow thoughts and feelings, it embodies the recesses of our minds, which we tend to keep hidden from others, as well as the deeper insecurities that plague our emotions. Woven throughout the potent energy of The Moon is pure magick. If we learn to harness its wisdom without letting the mental labyrinth take over, we may begin to co-create and alchemize from the seeds of our thoughts.

Reversed

This key can be indicative of deception, confusion, or turmoil. If you are experiencing some kind of fear, it may be a good time to address it head on. Listening to your dreams, psychic visions, and intuition will provide you with a clearer direction. Don’t hesitate to reach out to seek counsel from those you trust.
