Moonstruck

TAKE A BREATH

The word ‘moonstruck’ sounds dreamy and gorgeous, but in fact it means someone who’s gone a little crazy! Drawing this card means that you may be becoming obsessive or just going too far with regards to whatever situation it is you’re asking about. It’s like someone who says they’re madly in love. Madly? Is that really a good idea? This card comes with a message to get your feet back on the ground. If you’ve been a little bit hysterical or histrionic, it’s time to pare that back as well.

Take a couple of deep breaths. Try to get your situation into perspective. There’s nothing to be gained by allowing yourself to be completely and utterly overwhelmed by your emotions. Think of the cycles of the Moon. The Moon takes a full fortnight to move from New to Full. She grows a little in size every day as She swells to Her beautiful Full self. So, when you draw this card, you too need to allow things to progress at a more appropriate pace.

• Slow down. • Being manic won’t help. • Breathe. • Drop the drama. • Give a situation time to unfold.

Moonstruck often refers to falling so crazily in love that you just can’t think straight. It sounds lovely in practice and looks great in the movies, but is a little bit harder to handle in real life!
