The Moon
The Moon card speaks of the hidden and unconscious aspects within us, revealing our shadow sides and teaching us to accept them. It emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between our own illusions and reality. Like the mythical bird Sirin whose songs can lead one into sweet oblivion, any deceptively pleasant dream eventually dissolves in the dawn's rays, leaving only the bitter taste of reality's recognition and dissatisfaction with oneself or others.
