Keywords: illusion, intuition, fear, dreams, uncertainty, subconscious, confusion, deception, inner shadow, emotional depth

Upright Meaning
The Moon upright invites you into the realm of the subconscious, dreams, and emotional truth. This card signals mystery, uncertainty, and the need to navigate with intuition rather than logic. It can reflect a time of emotional confusion, hidden truths, or fear-driven perception. In love, The Moon may reveal unspoken feelings, romantic illusion, or intuition guiding the way through emotional complexity. In career or personal growth, it encourages trusting your instincts while being cautious of deception or unclear motives. The Moon urges you to explore the shadows—not with fear, but with curiosity and inner knowing.

Reversed Meaning
When reversed, The Moon may indicate clarity beginning to surface—or a deepening of confusion and emotional overwhelm. You might be emerging from denial, uncovering secrets, or finally seeing things for what they are. In relationships, this could mean releasing fears or confronting hidden issues. In personal growth, it invites you to face the parts of yourself you've avoided. The reversed Moon encourages you to move through uncertainty with compassion and to ground yourself as illusions lift.

Summary
The Moon reflects the hidden, emotional, and intuitive aspects of life—bringing mystery and depth when upright, and the unraveling of illusion or emotional confusion when reversed. It reminds you to trust your inner light as you navigate the unknown.

HOW TO READ
The Moon card often features a moon above with a face, casting a dim, dreamlike glow. A path winds between a dog and a wolf—symbolizing the tame and wild sides of the psyche. A crayfish rises from the water, hinting at emotions and subconscious material surfacing. Ask: What is unclear or shifting in your life? Are you trusting your intuition—or letting fear distort your vision?
