The Moon
The Moon is the realm of illusion, intuition, and the subconscious. In the moonlight, a rope can look like a snake. Things are not what they seem. This card appears when you are navigating uncertain terrain. You may feel confused, anxious, or like you're losing your mind.
But the Moon also represents the magic of the unseen. It's the wild, untamed part of your psyche. The wolf and the dog howl at the moon—the wild and the tame parts of you calling out to the mystery. The crayfish crawls out of the water—a subconscious thought emerging into awareness.
Trust your intuition, but verify your perceptions. Fear is often just "False Evidence Appearing Real." Don't make big decisions in the dark. Wait for the dawn. Navigate by feeling, not by sight, and pay attention to your dreams.
