The Moon
The Moon represents dreams, imagination, and the unseen currents that shape perception, urging you to continue aspiring even when the path is unclear. It warns that fantasies can both guide and mislead, and that fears and anxieties may distort judgment. The card's myth — a faithful wife who swallowed a seed of immortality and ascended to the heavens, making the moon her home — invites you to follow inner guidance and trust your instincts. Reversed, the Moon signals difficulty trusting yourself, prompting examination of doubts, obligations, and when others' fears are influencing your decisions.

Card Title
The Moon
Upright
The Moon is the card of dreams. Though you cannot know every bend in your path, continue to aspire and imagine. Precious little is illuminated by moonlight, and your fantasies can guide your impressions. This also means you may be led by your fears and anxieties. The Moon is represented here by a faithful wife who once guarded a seed of immortality for her husband. When a wicked man attempted to steal it for himself, she swallowed the seed and ascended into the heavens. The moon is her home; follow her guidance and trust your instincts.
Reverse
In this position, the Moon suggests that you may find it difficult to trust yourself. Identify the things that make you doubt your own judgment. Are you motivated by obligation, or are you listening to your gut? You may need to examine when your decisions are informed by someone else's fears.
