Moonshining

STAY IN INTEGRITY

Moonshining means talking nonsense, or empty or foolish talk. There is a sense with this card that what someone is saying is all style and no substance. Is that person you, or someone else? Drawing this card suggests there's a risk that someone has been filling your head with ideas that have no place in there. Maybe someone's been making promises to you that they can't or won't keep. Or maybe someone has said something hurtful to you and you've taken it far too seriously; perhaps they were just being provocative. There is a sense, when this card comes up, that you should disregard the empty or cruel words that someone has spoken to you and instead gather up your own power and love yourself more. Also, do not be the person who is doing the moonshining! In other words, make sure you're acting with integrity in all your current dealings. Otherwise, as sure as the Moon rises, karma could come and even things out. (That’s not meant to sound alarming, it’s just a statement of fact.)

• Don’t make empty promises. • Someone is baiting you. • Think about who you trust. • Don’t let someone’s words hurt you. • Don’t take life too seriously.

Although you may have previously associated the word moonshine with the idea of illegal alcohol brewed back in the days of Prohibition, when this word comes up it’s time to think about the word’s original meaning: Is someone talking nonsense?
