The Moon Card

The Significance Contained in the Image

In the Moon card a crayfish emerges from a pool of water. It has to follow the path which goes between two towers, over the hills and passes by a dog and a wolf. The dog and the wolf bay at the Moon and instill fear in the crayfish. How can it overcome its fears and complete its journey? What is causing the fear in the first place?

The Moon is a card signifying the power of imagination, dreams and the thoughts we feed our brain.

If the crayfish focuses on the dangers that lie ahead it will not move. If it shifts it focus it may avoid the danger. Equally important question is - what is causing the fear? Chances are, it comes from the subconscious which the night (the Moon) brings out. As the Sun disappears and hides from view almost everything, our inner visions comes out. They become the only things we see. What kind of feelings, fears, dreams, hopes do they inspire?

General Meaning

In a general reading, the Moon represents dreams, imagination and our inner demons. When this card comes up the psyche has been excited by external events and has a message for us. We need to listen. We need to establish peace within our inner world if we are to fully appreciate the outer world. If we repress our Lunar side, this will negatively impact our Solar side. When this card comes up it suggests that answers will come to you through dreams and visions.

It suggests that you are faced with a task or on a journey to a goal both of which require you to overcome your fears. Some inner work needs to be done before you can tackle the challenge.

Alternatively, The Moon can represent illusions and deceit. Something it hidden from view. Some piece of information is being withheld. Someone might be actively lying to you to deceive you or they may be withholding information to protect you/themselves. Either way, you are being told only part of the story. Look closer to find hints of what has been covered.

In Reverse

When reversed, the Moon card indicates problems from the past making their way back into your life. Problems that you thought had been taken care of rear their heads again demanding that they be truly fully resolved this time.

Alternatively, inner tensions might be coming to the surface. The querent may be unable to resolve the issues withing hence creating problems for themselves in the external world as way of visualising the enemy.
