Card Imagery
The Satyr plays His pipes to seduce and draw down the Moon, Who is His lover. He is guided by Her light, and it is the Moon that illuminates the forest, revealing the predators hidden among the brush and trees. As the Satyr began His journey filled with fear of the unknown, He looks to the Moon to remind Himself to follow His intuition. He stands on the cliff but because She watches, the Moon reminds Him to look before He takes a step and He now knows He is at the edge and can see what waits below. The Moon always changes Her face: when you feel connected to one, She shifts and a new face with seemingly new meaning shows itself. This is Her deception, Her illusion. And even when the Moon isn't visible, She pulls the tides. She is always there to guide.
Divinatory Meaning
Invoking the Moon reminds us of all those nocturnal fears we bury during the Day. She represents that primal fear of the Dark, but She wants to remind you that those things you think are hiding in the shadows were illuminated by Day, and deep down, you know what is there. You may be dealing with a past trauma you can't get over, unable to process the emotions because the situation is shrouding you in Darkness. The Moon pushes you to look into your subconscious and reflect on the situation. Remind yourself that it is you who control your anxiety and fear, not the other way around. Open up to those around you, talk through what you are going through, what you fear, and why. The support you never know you had will surprise you. She may also be here to shine light on a person or situation in your life—that they are not what they seem or claim to be. Pay attention to red flags and do not place blind trust in anyone at the moment because there is an enemy lurking in the shadows. Fortunately, you are getting sparks of psychic insight at the moment and your dreams and instincts are dead on, so trust them.
The Moon Invoked and Banished
The Moon Invoked represents the Full Moon, while the Moon Banished represents the Dark Moon. Her light is no longer needed to guide you and you are entering a period where you are resolving your fears and anxieties. She represents a new beginning of emotional health after stress and upset. The Moon banished warns not to bury any part of your emotional trauma inside you. Let it all out and use the Dark Moon as a time of transition and growth. Because Her light is hidden, you may be having trouble tuning in to your psychic or intuitive frequencies, so pay attention to outside signs and dreams for clarity and write down any messages or insights you receive.
