The Moon

The Moon

Here's one interpretation.

The moon transitions from darkness to light and back again on an ongoing basis. This sky phenomenon has a significant psychological effect on us. It assures us that we can transition and be reborn into a new phase after times of void and gloom. That there will always be a period of light ahead of us.

The moon also affects the Earth's oceans' ebb and flow. This force also affects human emotions. It affects the flow of emotions to and from the realm of the unconscious.

When this card appears, here are a few actions you might consider.

The moon is here to remind us that it spends as much time in the dark as it does in the sun's light. This card reminds us of the importance of balance. For example, Have your work efforts, productivity, or social activities taken too much of your attention and time? Have you stayed too long away from the company of others? Let the moon's cycle lead you out of your deepest depths.

Reflect on its meaning for you. Perhaps, consider returning to the realm of interpersonal interaction and outward expression.

Or consider also making time for yourself, your emotions, and your basic spiritual and physical needs. This may include the need to connect with others and the greater world.

If this card appears upside down or reversed, and you choose to include its position as part of your reading, here's what it could mean.

This card prompts rejuvenation and liberation of life, just like the moon's ongoing journey. Carve out alone time, free from the distractions of the outside world. Examine undesirable aspects of your nature with bravery. See if you can find ways to resolve or come to terms with them. According to shamanic mythology, the greatest treasures lie where people fear to go.
