The Moon upright
The Moon lights a nighttime landscape, where the outlines are blurred and the imagination takes its full place. She invites you to welcome your dreams, your sensations, and that part of mystery reason alone can’t grasp. Not everything needs to be clear right away: certain truths reveal themselves in the soft glow of intuition. Feel your way forward if you must, trusting your inner compass.
The Moon reversed
Reversed, the Moon speaks of confusions clearing away, or, on the contrary, of an inner fog that unsettles you. Maybe a fear is growing in the shadows, or you’re mistaking what you imagine for what is. Nothing to worry about: the light always returns to reveal the ground. Let your emotions settle, and soon you’ll see more clearly.
A question to sit with
