The Moon

Major Arcana — Card 18

Upright Meaning

The Moon illuminates the realm of the subconscious — illusion, fear, and the murky depths of the psyche. Not everything is as it seems. This card calls you to pay attention to dreams, intuitions, and the irrational fears that surface in the dark. Navigate this liminal space carefully and trust your gut over appearances.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, The Moon suggests confusion is lifting, illusions dissolving, and suppressed fears coming to conscious awareness where they can be healed. You are beginning to see situations more clearly. Alternatively, fears and self-deception are being more deeply repressed.
