The The Moon card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck

The Major Arcana

The Moon

uncertainty · illusion · the subconscious

Upright

You may be working from incomplete information and calling it intuition. The Moon is the half-lit path, where fear and imagination fill in the gaps that facts should be occupying. It isn't saying the fear is baseless. It's suggesting you find out.

Reversed

Reversed, the fog is often clearing — or an illusion is being held onto on purpose, because the truth would require doing something. It's a fair moment to ask what you've actually confirmed lately.

If this is your card this month

What are you imagining here that you could simply check?

A card is a prompt rather than a forecast. It doesn't know what will happen, and the useful part is what you do with the question it hands you. We make that case at more length in not a prediction, a mirror.

Where this card came from

If The Moon arrived on a postcard, it was drawn for you for that full moon, and the reflection on the back was written from what it means. And if it didn't, well — that's the other thing we do here: a card and a reflection in your mailbox every full moon.
