"The Moon": What does the tarot card show?

The tarot card "The Moon" really lives up to its status as a "Great Arcane" (ie "Big Secret") because it takes you into a mysterious world.

The eponymous moon is more like a sun with rays. The round, yellow disc might well be regarded as a full moon, but at the same time the sickle of the waxing moon is embedded in it; So we have two phases of the moon at once, which would never be possible in reality. The sickle adorns a rather tormented and annoyed moon face.

Sparks are raining from the moon to the earth. Here you see a brown dog and a yellow jackal standing in a meadow, howling at the moon. The dog looks rather nice, the jackal evil and scary. Out of the waters in the foreground a crustacean, a lobster, is stretching its shears towards the moon. Directly behind the lobster begins a golden path that meanders between dog and jackal and through two stone-gray towers to the horizon. The trail ends in a mountainous landscape on the blue horizon.

Welcome to the world of the irrational, the dreams and the vague fears! While the sun, which also has its own map in the tarot with the number XIX trumpet, represents the clearly conscious side of our personality, the moon reflects the unconscious features of our being. These are more likely to be hidden in the subconscious mind and we live them out more automatically than targeted; as moods, moods, or bodily sensations, for example, which usually change just as quickly as the shape of the crescent moon in the sky. Even in your nocturnal dreams and the transition from the waking phase to the sleeping phase and vice versa, you will encounter this mysterious world.

Within yourself, you encounter animal instincts that you carry with you from various stages of evolution (embodied by lobster, jackal, and dog). They are a natural part of it and the better you understand what is inside of you, the more confident your self-knowledge will be. Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, said that the dream interpretation of the royal road, "the Via regia And this path is very vividly illustrated by the golden path that leads from the water, the primal sea of all being, through the gates of consciousness to the clear blue of knowledge.

As a day ticket: If the tarot picture "The Moon" stands for you

Last night, did you have a strange dream that still troubles you a bit or even frightens you? Or you react in waking everyday life? just like that out of the gut? so strange that you are completely confused about yourself? That's good, because that opens a door for you today that you can go through to understand yourself a little bit better. Take your time, write down your dream or the strange situation in all details, note what comes to your mind; so you gain valuable knowledge and get yourself a little better on the track.

As the Love-Red: If the tarot card "The Moon" stands for your partner or your relationship

Your relationship is like a miraculous dream. You have very special antennas for each other, you communicate on levels that are not quite of this world. That can be magically romantic! However, sometimes you lose track of what is true and what is not. This leads to illusions about the feelings of the other, or conversely to getting into vulnerabilities and fear of loss that have no real basis. So be very careful to each other!
