The Moon
The Moon represents a journey into the unconscious where mystery, illusion, and danger obscure clear footing. It signals confusion and deception—often seductive and familiar—while pressing you to move or risk being lost in shadow. At the same time it invites surrender to intuition, patient meditation, and creative insight to release and reveal profound truths. Reversed, it warns of instability, impatience, denial, or barren stillness that blocks honest psychic work.

Surrender to Darkness
Description
A vast ocean of mystery, danger, and illusion stretches out, and swells over a pier. Above and below, shadows seem to wait and watch. The Moon is in the world of the unconscious, and it can be both frightening and disorienting. There is nowhere to anchor and everything feels confusing and deceptive, though slightly seductive and familiar. Even time seems to be disappearing, but there is an urgency for you to move or risk being lost here forever. It's not too late to turn back, but if you truly want freedom, you will brave the current and surrender to the waves of cosmic intuition.
Meaning
a journey through your shadows, illusions, and profound truths; patient meditation; release; uncertainty; magical creativity and intuition; a warning
Reversal
instability, impatience, an unwillingness to be truthful, barren stillness, misplaced fantasy
Visual Description
A large, luminous full moon hangs low over a restless sea, centered between two tall, leaning rectangular pillars or gates. A narrow channel of water runs from the foreground toward the horizon, reflecting the moonlight in rippling waves. On low platforms at either side of the channel two canine figures stand, one on the left and one on the right, outlined in pale light. The sky above is dark and the overall palette is high-contrast, with bright moonlight and deep shadows.
