The Moon
The Card
A full moon with a crescent inside shines over a pool from which a crayfish emerges. A wolf and dog howl at the moon from opposite banks. Two towers stand in the distance. A path runs between them into the unknown. The landscape is both ancient and deeply strange.
Symbolism
The moon has 15 rays (the card's number in the Major Arcana, the Devil also being 15). The crayfish emerging from the pool is the unconscious surfacing. The wolf is wild nature; the dog is domesticated — both represent aspects of the human psyche responding to the same light.
Things are not what they appear. The Moon illuminates — but moonlight distorts. Fears from the subconscious are rising to the surface. Pay attention to dreams and intuition, but be wary of projection and paranoia.
Release of fears, coming clarity after confusion. Illusions dissolving. Inner demons faced and integrated.
