My Time with The Moon Card
Alright, so I decided to sit down with my tarot deck today. Things felt a bit… fuzzy, you know? Like looking through mist. I wasn’t seeking a big answer, just wanted to connect and see what surfaced. So, I settled myself down, took a few breaths, and shuffled the cards, really focusing on that feeling of uncertainty I had.
I cut the deck and drew just one card. And wouldn’t you know it, The Moon stared right back at me. Can’t say I was totally surprised, given how I was feeling. It’s a card I have a lot of history with.
First thing I always notice is the light – it’s not sunlight, it’s moonlight. Things look different, kinda distorted, maybe a little spooky. It immediately makes me think about illusions and things not being quite as they seem. You can’t always trust what you see under this light.
Then my eyes went down to the water at the bottom. That pool represents the subconscious, deep stuff, intuition. And there’s that crayfish or lobster thing crawling out. For me, that’s always about primal fears or old instincts emerging from the depths. Stuff you usually keep hidden, even from yourself sometimes.
And you got the two figures, the dog and the wolf, howling at the moon.
- The dog, that’s the tamed side, the civilized part of us.
- The wolf, that’s the wild, untamed instinct.
They’re both reacting to the same thing, The Moon, showing that internal conflict or confusion between our logical side and our deeper instincts. Which path do you follow?
Speaking of paths, there’s that winding path going between the two towers in the distance. Those towers, they look like a gateway, maybe to understanding or clarity, but the path towards them under the moonlight looks tricky, uncertain. It’s not a clear, straight road. It’s like walking through a dream or a confusing situation in life where the way forward isn’t obvious.
So, I just sat with that imagery for a while. Didn’t try to force a meaning. I thought about where in my own life things feel unclear, where my fears might be playing tricks on me, or where I need to maybe trust my gut feeling more, even if it seems illogical. It made me think about a specific situation where I felt I wasn’t getting the full picture, where maybe my own anxieties were coloring things.
I grabbed my journal then. Didn’t write anything profound, just jotted down:
- Feeling uncertain.
- Fear of the unknown bubbling up.
- Trust intuition or rely on ‘facts’?
- Things might not be what they seem right now.
- Need to be patient, let the ‘moonlight’ reveal things slowly.
Putting it down on paper helped, like acknowledging the confusion instead of fighting it. I didn’t get a sudden flash of insight or a solution. The Moon doesn’t usually work like that for me. It’s more about accepting the mystery, navigating the ambiguity, and paying attention to dreams and intuition. So, I thanked the card, put it back in the deck, and just sat quietly for a bit longer. Felt a bit more grounded, actually. Ready to just walk that path, even if it’s a bit shadowy right now.
