The Moon

ดวงจันทร์

Remember it

Dog and wolf howl, a crayfish crawls from the pool: in dim light, what's hidden in us surfaces.

Meaning · Upright

  • uncertainty
  • intuition
  • fear
  • the subconscious
  • illusion

The Moon is a night-time journey: there's light, but not enough to see everything clearly. In a reading it often points to a situation that's still murky, missing information, or fears and anxieties that make things seem bigger than they are. It's not the time to judge by appearances; listen to your intuition and pay attention to your dreams. The path in the picture is still there — you just need to walk it slowly and carefully.

Read it for a topic

My day · Upright reading

You may feel more uncertain or anxious than usual today. Don’t trust every worry that pops up — listen inward and go slowly.

What’s in the picture

  1. 1

    Moon with a face, set within a sun

    Reflected rather than direct light — we only see partly

  2. 2

    A dog and a wolf howling

    Our tamed side and our wild, instinctive side

  3. 3

    Crayfish crawling out of the pool

    Deep feelings and fears rising from the subconscious

  4. 4

    Winding path leading to the mountains

    There is still a way forward, even if the end is unclear

  5. 5

    Two towers on either side of the path

    A gateway into the unknown — you pass through your fears to continue

  6. 6

    Drops of light (yods) falling from the moon

    Intuitive signals that still reach us in the dark
