Card 18

The Moon

Brief Description

The Moon is essentially very kind but admires only herself in the night sky. She can do nothing but radiate light, unable to give anything except what resembles her - shadows cast by objects to maintain interest. This card represents self-absorption, illusion, and the interplay between light and shadow in our perception of reality.

Essential Nature

The Moon, by her very essence, is very kind, yet she admires only herself in the night sky.

Limitations of Light

She can do nothing except radiate light. She cannot give you anything other than what more or less resembles her.

Shadows and Reflections

All she can offer are shadows cast by objects, simply to maintain interest and engagement with the world below.

Visual Description

A large pale crescent moon with a human face dominates the twilight sky, a red heart-shaped mark on its cheek. Stars scatter across the upper sky while several green birds circle and glide through the scene. On the rolling, orange-tinted landscape below a robed figure in green and a pointed hat stands, blowing three translucent bubbles; a few bare trees punctuate the horizon.
