Tarot Cards - Major Arcana - Moon - 18
REVERSED: Release of fear, repressed emotion, inner confusion
MOON DESCRIPTION
The Moon card shows a full moon in the night’s sky, positioned between two large towers. The Moon is a symbol of intuition, dreams, and the unconscious. Its light is dim compared to the sun, and only slightly illuminates the path to higher consciousness winding between the two towers.
In the foreground is a small pool, representing the watery, subconscious mind. A small crayfish crawls out of the pool, symbolising the early stages of consciousness unfolding. A dog and a wolf stand in the grassy field, howling at the moon, representing both the tamed and the wild aspects of our minds.
Reversed Meaning
Keywords (Reversed): Dispelling illusions, unveiling truth, release of anxiety, clarity emerging, overcoming fear.
When The Moon appears reversed, the dense nocturnal fog begins to dissipate under the first light of dawn. The terrifying phantoms that lurked in the darkness are revealed to be harmless shapes of your own imagination. Secrets come to light, deceptive motives are unmasked, and the paralyzing anxiety born of uncertainty begins to dissolve into rational clarity.
In emotional states, the reversal indicates that you are successfully navigating your way out of subconscious confusion and emotional turbulence.
Guidance & Remedy: Keep walking along the path. Do not let lingering doubts drag you back into the swamp. Trust the clarity that is emerging and face reality with open eyes.
