XVIII The Moon

Everyone is fascinated by the moon. She changes. Never the same, she is the perfect representative for the female energy of light in the sky and perhaps the celestial body responsible for the concept that woman should reflect their men...and not eclipse them. Her mystery enlivens love songs, poetry and the night itself. Even animals sing of their enchantment with this quietly powerful heavenly body whose gravity moves oceans and minds alike.

In the tarot she represents evolution - change - dream states, intuitive powers and the workings of the psyche. Hers is the realm of the mysterious and the unknown, her soft light never quite enough to see clearly, even on the whitest snow covered hillside, requiring intuition to take the wheel and steer for a while. She is the energy of surrender to the animal instincts, implying the presence of primitive skills and the possibility of magical workings.

She rarely speaks directly, but only implies, hinting that perhaps you know best...and she's always right.
