Brief Description

The Moon casts an ethereal glow over the night, stirring dreams, delusions, and inner unease. This card represents the unconscious mind, hidden influences, and the shadows of fear or illusion. It reveals moments when perception is unclear, often warning of deceit, doubt, or misjudgment. However, the fear under The Moon may be based more on imagination than fact. The key is to illuminate the truth within and move forward with clarity and trust in one's inner voice.
