The Moon upright
The Moon shines on a path between two towers; a dog and a wolf bark; a crayfish climbs from the pool.
This card sits in the territory of dream, intuition, half-truth. What's real and what's projected look the same in this light.
Trust the path under your feet more than the things at its edges. Move through.
The Moon reversed
Reversed, the fog is lifting - or, alternately, self-deception is being acknowledged for the first time.
Clarity comes, slowly.

Common questions
- What does The Moon mean?
- The path through what you can't quite see. The Moon shines on a path between two towers; a dog and a wolf bark; a crayfish climbs from the pool.
- What does The Moon mean reversed?
- Reversed, the fog is lifting - or, alternately, self-deception is being acknowledged for the first time.
- Is The Moon a good card to draw?
