The Moon
The Moon card places you in the realm of night and the unconscious, illuminating dreams, desires, and secret aspects hidden by daylight. It reveals the wildness that lurks beneath the domesticated self and asks you to examine what conformity has cost you. The card advises embracing complexity and confusion rather than allowing fear, deception, or an overly controlled persona to dominate. It encourages paying attention to subtle truths and inner signals that are visible only by the light of the Moon.

Meaning
You have entered the realm of night where the Moon is king... It gazes down on your dreams, your desires, and your secret trespasses. All of the things that you keep hidden in the day are laid bare by the light of the Moon. You may imagine yourself as a nice, functional member of society, but the Moon knows all about the wildness that lurks within your unconscious. It sees what burrows far down in the depths of your subconscious. You must ask yourself what domestication has brought you and what fear and deception it took for you to bury those wild animals away. You have been allowing the domesticated version of yourself too much control. Embrace the complexity and confusion of the world, and throw away misunderstanding and anxiety. Pay a little more attention to things that can only be seen by the light of the Moon.
Visual Description
A pale blue sky is topped with the Roman numeral XVIII and dominated by a large moon with a human face between two tall, rounded ochre towers. In the foreground a dog and a wolf or similar canids howl toward the moon while a red crustacean emerges from a pool beside a winding path that leads into distant rocky hills. At the center of the composition a rectangular framed inset shows a person lying in bed beneath covers, and marshy vegetation borders the water.
