XVIII - The Moon



The Moon

A full moon looms over a raging body of water, a shadowy presence illuminating challenging times or perhaps a troubled soul. Two identical towers representing good and evil frame the scene. A wolf and a lobster guard a stairway, the only visible means of crossing the turbulent waters. The lobster, a creature from the murky depths of the ocean, indicates deep fears. The wolf, untamed and wild, represents the spirit, unbroken and strong. The stairway is close to the waters surface, barely providing safe passage. The journey may be dangerous and frightening, but it must be made. Only by facing fears can progress be made.

The Moon is at once dreadful and beautiful. It represents dreams, instincts, intuition, and fears. It’s gentle light provides both illumination and shadows. This light can cause things to seem either safer or more dangerous than they actually are. Be prepared to be both frightened and inspired. Carefully separate your intuition from your fears and follow your intuition. Pay careful attention to your dreams at this time. Great inspiration is at hand, but it wont be an easy journey.

If reversed, this card warns of deception, dangerous emotional swings, and giving into fears. Tread carefully.

Use your intuition:

Is the wolf there to guard the path or guide you across?

Why does the path pass through the middle of the towers representing Good and Evil?

The face in the moon is gazing to the left; how is that significant?
