Major Arcana XVIII

The Moon

Illusion, intuition, and the unconscious

Trust your instincts, not your eyes. The path is unclear, but your intuition holds the map. Embrace the mystery.

Under the moon, shadows stretch and shapes shift. Nothing is what it seems. This is the realm of the unconscious, where fear and intuition merge. Tread carefully.

Introduction

The Moon is the card of the deep subconscious. It represents the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness, reality and madness.

This card warns of deception—both from others and from within yourself. It is a journey through a dark forest where wild instincts and old fears surface. But only by facing these shadows can you find true clarity.

Love and relationships

Confusion and insecurity. You don't know where you stand. Secrets, hidden feelings, or projecting your fears onto a partner. An intense but murky attraction.

Career and work

Unclear direction. Miscommunication or hidden agendas at work. Trust your instincts if something feels off. Not the best time for clear decisions.

Money and finances

Financial ambiguity. Hidden risks. Be very careful with investments; you don't have all the facts. Avoid shady deals.

Spiritual path

Vivid dreams and psychic opening. Navigating the dark night of the soul. Deep shadow work is required.

Conclusion

The Moon asks you to befriend the dark. It is a place of fear, but also of magic. When you stop running from the shadows, you find the treasure hidden in the night.

I trust my intuition to guide me through the dark.
