Single-card meaning

It is at night, under the cover of darkness and the light of the moon when we are able to dream, and access our subconscious. The daylight no longer reigns supreme, logic and truth become more arbitrary concepts, and our minds can imagine and follow the winding paths of our intuition. What is not addressed in the light of day, comes out at night - all our hidden and repressed emotions, fears, and desires. As such, the moon tends to represent our emotional life - perhaps parts of ourselves that we cannot address in the waking day - the darker shadow aspects of our own selves that we must confront and integrate in order to develop as human beings.

It is through our intuition that we may gain certain insights that we might not have found through logical understanding - so the moon can represent too, all things that exist but we are not yet knowledgeable about. Things may have been brewing underneath the surface, but perhaps your consciousness has not processed it yet.

Questions for reflection

  • What does your intuition tell you?
  • What is it that you desire but are ashamed of wanting?
  • What is that you fear?
  • What are you repressing?
