THE MOON
The Moona is the card of intuition, dreams and the unconscious. The Moon It provides light as a reflection of the Sun, however, this light is dim, uncertain, and only vaguely illuminates our path as we journey towards higher consciousness. The pool at the base of the card represents the subconscious mind and the crayfish crawling out of the pool symbolizes the early stages of developing consciousness. This creature also represents the often disturbing images that appear from our interiority, much like the dog and wolf at the beginning of the path of representing the domesticated and wild aspects of our minds. The path leads between two towers in the mountains in the distance, showing the path to unconsciousness. The astrological sign associated with this card is Pisces – psychic, receptive and mysterious.
MEANING OF THE MOON IN ONE PULL
The Moon often represents his own «shadow.» The shadow is a psychological term introduced by the late Swiss psychiatrist Dr. Carl G. Jung, and is a part of the unconscious mind that consists of repressed weaknesses, deficiencies and instincts. «Everyone carries a shadow,» Jung wrote, «and the less it is embodied in the conscious life of the individual, the blacker and denser it is.» According to Jung, the shadow, in the instinctive and irrational being, is prone to projection, turning a personal inferiority into a perceived moral deficiency in another person. So, the moon Call your attention to your shadow, becoming aware of any tendency to project fear and anxiety onto your external environment, and turning it around into more positive and constructive energy.

The images, thoughts and feelings that you have repressed over time cause internal disturbances that are becoming overwhelming.

To remedy this, you have to go through a purification process whereby deep memories are released. This is a time when you have to go deep into your soul and bring out your anxieties, fears, psychic blocks and personality disorders. Many unseen things are coming to the surface, including secret motives, clandestine information, and ancient hidden truths. These newfound resources may confuse you, but once they are made known to you, they will no longer haunt you.
The Moon It is a card of illusion and deception, and therefore often suggests a time when there is something that is not what it appears to be. Vigilance and clear perception will be necessary to find what is hidden before it is too late. If other cards in the reading are negative, then the moon shows that not everything is as wonderful as you might think, and there are still hidden forces at play that can unravel your success. You can idealize the situation, ignoring the fact that there was a possibility of failure among success. If the other cards are generally positive, then the moon It suggests that you are letting your imagination run away with you, and that things are not as bad as they seem. In both cases you have to open your eyes and see what is really happening. Refrain from accepting illusions as they may cause an error in your judgment.
Often, the moon appears in a reading when you are unsure of your destination, or even the route you are traveling, but you travel nonetheless. You may have lost your way and are now left to walk in the dark, guided only by your inner light and intuition. You have to move forward without a clear idea of where you are, where you are going, or where you have been. The Moon It is a card of intuition and psychic forces, so let's go over your conscious mental blocks or negative self-talk, and allow your intuition to guide you. Your dreams, intuitions and inner impulses lead you forward, towards higher levels of understanding if you listen carefully and use your judgment to help interpret the veiled messages from the unconscious. Not only will the path forward be revealed, but in many cases you will learn lessons about yourself that will be valuable in subsequent journeys.
