The Moon card is one that is surrounded by mystery. The eighteenth card of the Major Arcana, representing the lunar cycle, reminds us of our subconscious mind, revealing our inner fears and deepest hidden truths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It uncovers what is submerged deep underneath the surface. Given this information, there is no wonder that it is regarded as such a secretive card!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But in what light should we view this card? Its most common association is with darkness and mystery. So does this mean that the Moon card is truly bad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The moon card is a card of ambivalence. It can signal intuition and insight as much as it can indicate confusion and uncertainty. It may refer to the repressed or unknown side of a situation or person being brought to the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the context as well, it is by no means a purely negative or positive card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s take a look at some traditional meanings of the Moon tarot card, and how it can be interpreted effectively in different situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we delve into the Moon Tarot card, I wanted to point you to the end of this page in the Related Articles section. I have collected a number of articles that you will find interesting. Make sure you check them out as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The polar opposite of the Moon card is the Sun card. Needless to say, the Sun card\u2019s meaning is much less secretive. Upright, the Sun represents life, vitality, and joy, and it is natural to take the meaning of the Moon to be the direct opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can be instinctively viewed as a card relating to the hidden, evil, or obtrusive, and symbolizes a force that is not necessarily as understood as the Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst the sun is responsible for supplying the life source of many living species on earth, emitting its own golden light, the moon only rises in darkness. And just like darkness, the moon is traditionally referred to as the bringer of evil and bad luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that in many old folklore and fairytales, the forces of evil, such as witches, ghosts, or thieves, were closely associated with darker color schemes. They conducted their business during the night, to preserve secrecy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And thus, the Moon card can traditionally deal with deception and illusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it is important to consider that no tarot card can be viewed as specifically bad or good. If we are afraid of the shadows that appear around us at night, then we must be reassured that the moon is the one that is providing us with light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The card may seem mysterious, but only because it represents <\/em>mystery. It represents all that we do not know of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of fearing the truth, it encourages us to use our intuition to gain insight into unveiling what is hidden in our subconscious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Moon Card Upright<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The upright Moon card teaches us to not be afraid of the subconscious realms of our minds. It is human to shy away from what we do not understand, and what we lack clarity in. But in order to gain release, facing the emotions that have been repressed is the only way to bring past traumas to the surface and let them go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several points that the Moon card can refer to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
- The use of intuition and the divine feminine<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The power of creativity, imagination, and longing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A hidden truth that is approaching enlightenment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Change and growth occurring at the deepest level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Intuition, Creativity, and the Divine Feminine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
More often than not, the majority of our population is work-focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a young age, we are taught that we need to pursue achievements in order to fulfill our self-worth. The excess of masculine energy and rational and logical thinking is praised, as it arises from our intense focus upon work or business goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Moon card may indicate that you are connecting with your feminine energy. The lunar cycle is deeply connected with intuition, creativity, and the divine feminine. As opposed to the traditional masculine and feminine genders, masculine and feminine energies can belong to any person, regardless of gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An appropriate balance of masculine and feminine energy is needed in any individual. Connecting with the deeper levels of our subconscious and revealing the divine feminine we may have repressed can be a liberating experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pay attention to your thoughts at night, or even take a walk out in the moonlight. Meditate whilst harnessing the energy of the moon. I\u2019ve also written an article that covers cleansing your tarot cards through meditation or with a moon bath<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The card may be bringing to light the need to pay attention to your subconscious thoughts. Meditation is an excellent way to create space in your mind for your intuitive thoughts to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Uncovering of Hidden Truths and Processes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Along with its linkage to the subconscious mind, the Moon card is a significant card that urges us to \u2018go with the flow\u2019. The moon itself is constantly entering new phases. The cycle which you are about to experience will allow you to grow, perhaps not on a physical level, but most definitely on a spiritual one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new cycle may represent both external and internal situations. Look for surrounding or clarification cards to determine if this is an unveiling of secrets in an external situation or a personal enlightenment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is clear that through these interpretations, the Moon card is not a purely negative tarot card. As always, it depends on the context of the individual and the surrounding cards. If the querent regards the unknown as something that is purely negative, then perhaps a change of perspective is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
