The Moon Tarot Card Meaning
- illusion
- intuition
- the unconscious
- mystery
The Moon upright
The Moon is the terrain of dream, instinct, and what hides at the edge of knowing. Not everything is as it appears. Walk by feel, honour the uncanny, and let intuition be your compass.
The Moon reversed
Reversed, The Moon marks the lifting of a fog. Illusions unravel, projections return to their source. Trust what you now see clearly, even if it rearranges the story you were telling.
How to read The Moon
The Moon is card XVIII of the 22 Major Arcana. When a Major Arcana card appears, readers give it extra weight: it points to one of the bigger lessons or turning points of the moment.
Upright, let its keywords guide the reading: illusion, intuition, the unconscious, and mystery.
Reversed, the same themes are usually blocked, delayed or turned inward. Read the reversed meaning above with that in mind.
