Card Imagery
A full moon hangs in the night sky, its face in profile. A dog and a wolf howl at the moon from opposite sides of a path, representing the tame and wild aspects of the mind. A crayfish emerges from a pool in the foreground — the subconscious rising. Two towers stand in the distance, and the path between them stretches into the unknown.
Upright Meaning
The Moon is a card of illusion, fear, and the deep subconscious. Not everything is as it seems. It asks you to navigate uncertainty with intuition rather than logic, and to be aware of deception — from others or from yourself.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, The Moon suggests fears being released, illusions dissolving, and clarity emerging. The truth you've been avoiding is finally coming to light, and the confusion is beginning to lift.
