Card Meaning (Upright)
The Moon invites you to explore the realms of dreams, inner whispers, and the sacred unknown. Not everything is meant to be understood logically right now. Spirit speaks through symbols, shadows, and silence. Tune in. The Moon reminds you to trust your gut over what’s being presented on the surface.

​

Card Meaning (Reversed)
When reversed, The Moon may signal confusion, emotional overwhelm, or illusions lifting. It can be a call to face fears, dig deeper, and let clarity rise from the depths. Things are not as they seem but the truth is surfacing.
